| The river on the side of our house |
We had another great storm last week. The rain was coming down so hard for about half an hour that we couldn't even see the houses across the street. The street looked like a river and the water was coming up and covering up our sidewalk. The kids thought it was a blast though.
One great thing about the rainstorms here, is that they really cool things off. There have been a few evenings (and even mornings) when it was pleasant enough to take a walk.

| View of the sunset from the park on Friday night... Wow! |
Friday morning we got up and decided that it would be a good day for the zoo. It was overcast and not unbearably hot, although it was a little humid. So we went to the zoo. As soon as we got there, the clouds broke up and it was HOT! We went straight for the splash pad to try and cool off a little. I figured that it wouldn't be so bad if we were wet. That didn't work out so much because we were still way hot. We hardly looked at any animals, just went from one splash pad to the other and then came home.
So Ben had his six month check up about a week and a half ago. It turns out that he has a big noggin (which is not a surprise). The surprise part is that it is big enough for the doctor to have a little concern as to what is going on inside. So we took him to have an ultrasound at Scottsdale Hospital last week on Tuesday. I was a little freaked out. The technician reviewed it with the radiologist and then told me that aside from his fluid being a little on the high side of normal, Ben basically just has a big head. I was relieved, so I spread the news that everything was fine.

Friday afternoon, I got a phone call from my pediatrician. He told us that since Ben's ventricles are a little enlarged, they want us to go to Phoenix Children's Hospital for an MRI. So much for being relieved... now I am a little freaked out again.
