HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN !!!!!

This morning I surprised Ben with a Birthday honey bun. After all his bithday is today. We just had the party a little early. So, I decided to take him to the McWane center. He had a great time. I think he played at every station

in the Bob the Builder exhibit at least twice. Then we went down to the main science floor. I could not get him away from the "cloud making thing" as he called it. After wearing himself and myself out we headed home only to run into a thunderstorm. As you know Ben has never liked storms especially thunder. So when he heard it thunder I asked him what was that he smiled and said "boom chicka boom". Thanks Granna (my mom) for helping him to not be so scared and making it into a fun game.

Ben's Birthday Bash

Ben had a great time at his birthday party. Even though we had to take the later half in doors because of the storm. He loved every minute of it from the bounce house, to the slip n slide, through the sprinkler, and into the pool. He had a blast. Thanks to everyone for making it such fun.

The Arendale's

Hi everyone. I have been wanting to start a blog for sometime now. I thought this would keep everyone posted on the little ones and whatever else was happening in the world of the Arendale's. So, let's get started.



Tim & I were married on April 26, 2003. We have since had two wonderful children: Ben who is 3 and Brooke who is 5mths old. This year has been a rather tough year for us. With Brooke being born with congenital CMV, spending 52 days in the hospital and Ben having an ASD repair it has been rather stressful. They are both doing absolutely wonderful. We have truly been blessed. We would like to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers. And all your support.
