Forced exile and Benjamin

I have been exiled to my bedroom. Remember the rooster? Dave is still tutoring three nights a week for two hour sessions ... but now, instead of typing back and forth with a student, he has a headset. Which means that students all over our fair province can now hear everything that goes on in our house for two hours every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. When he first received the headset I was more than a little perturbed. "But, but..." I spluttered.

But now I have embraced the headset. The kids understand that not a peep can be made after 7:30 at night. And, strangely enough, they too have accepted the headset with great charity and cooperation. I think the headset has actually made Daddy into a bit of a celebrity in their eyes. Whew. I decided that on these quiet evenings I would move a comfy chair to our bedroom and spend the night reading. The result: I have come to look forward to head-set nights. So, after that explanation as to why I am blogging for a second time today, here are some pictures of Ben.

He's got some new moves.



Watch out, Rebecca K.!

Now that the Franciscans of Halifax are in choir lessons every Saturday morning...I think I have just found a choreographer to teach us dance moves to go with the singing...it could be a whole 'up with people' catholic style...hahaha. Go Ben!

Um, Rebecca would be impressed, but not with the punching oneself in the eye bit.

But Bejamin has certain other traits she finds strangely familiar...

Is it wrong to admit that your forced exile sounds very, very appealing to me?

(Benjamin is insanely cute, by the way.)

Jaclyn, He is pretty cute, eh? And, no, I enjoy that exile more than I care to admit. It almost feels indulgent.
