I have been TERRIBLE at taking pictures of Bennett lately. I don't think I have any recent ones to post! As I write this, Dale is outside working on our swing/slide/sandbox combo in the backyard. It is coming along and we are hoping to have it completed in time for Bennett's birthday. Yes, his birthday. He will be 2 next week! Crazy eh?
The weather here has been so strange and I am looking forward to some warmer days, but you know Iowa, you have to be careful what you wish for, because before you know it, it will be 100 degrees outside and we will all be complaining about that too!
May is always a very busy month, so we are anticipating a lot of houseguests and events!
Mom and Dad vL are coming here this weekend to celebrate Bennett's birthday with us. We are going to have a little party for him with a few of his friends will be joining us as well. The weekend after that Mom and Dad Swager are coming to Iowa for Evan's Dordt graduation (and of course, to see their grandson:). The 3rd weekend we are hosting Bev, Brian, Carver, Michelle and Gerry for the Canadian long weekend. They all came to visit last April (even though Carver wasn't born yet, he was here:) and we are excited that they are coming again. Finally, the last weekend of the month is our 5th Anniversary and since we are going to have so much going on we are hoping to get away and camp for the weekend.
We have tons to look forward to as you can see!
I am about 15 weeks pregnant now and am starting to get a little tummy...not too bad yet.
Dale is not super busy right now with the trucking, which is fine because it has been rather nuts this past little while.
Thanks for listening, I will be back soon with some pictures:)

news...

This is a picture of Bennett wearing a t-shirt that he was fairly proud to show off. I don't think he really knows what is going on, but he is loving the attention!
