Well the last few weeks have just past so quickly. I can't believe Benjamin will be three weeks tomorrow. So just a quick update on what we've been up to lately. When we were in the hospital after having the baby a nurse noticed that Benjamin had a heart murmur. I knew that a heart murmur wasn't uncommon in newborns so I didn't worry to much about it. We followed up with our pediatrician, he was concerned enough that he sent us down to Primary's children's hospital for an echo cardiogram. It turned out that he has a heart murmur, as well as a very small hole between the two ventricles of his heart. Fortunately the doctor said that neither of these conditions should effect his hearts ability to circulate his blood. We are hoping that the hole will close by it's self, in most cases it does. We are so thankful that Benjamin is okay. We also celebrated Easter with our families. The kids went on three egg hunts the Saturday before Easter. They found tons of candy, and had a blast. It was the first time we took the baby out. It was nice to get out and visit with family. Easter morning the kids loved looking for their Easter baskets. I heard Kate from upstairs squeal, and say "he got me just what I wanted". Kate got a my little pony, and Kirk got a toy gun. (I don't love the idea of kids playing with guns, but it's better than having him pretend that the markers are guns, and getting marker all over the house)! Here are some fun pictures of the kids.

Primary's had volunteers giving stuffed bunnies away to everybody. The hospital was so great!
