Sorry so long since the last post! Its been a very busy time at the Welsh household. Laurier-Brantford University held its convocation ceremony this past Wednesday. Andrew was asked to carry the mace to lead the academic procession. He was very honoured and excited to be the "Bedel". Andrew says the mace was tremendously heavy and was glad that everything went smoothly since he had to hold it in front of a couple hundred people for a loooong time. :)

Being a beautiful sunny afternnon, Evan and I joined Andrew for the outdoor reception in Victoria Park after the ceremony concluded. It is so rewarding to see the students that we taught graduate, especially for Andrew who has taught so many of the students, sometimes several times! Many of the students were excited to meet Evan (and of course we were delighted to show him off). Evan was a good boy and slept in his stoller the entire time.

After the reception we joined our dear friends Carrie and Erin to go for a Sushi lunch . This was Evan's first visit to a restaurant and he was precious. I just put him in his sling and he slept through lunch (I was very careful not to drop any wasabi on the little guy).

Outside of our big day on Wednesday, Evan surpirsed us during tummy time this week when he, out of no where, suddenly demonstrated his ability to push his head and chest up using his arms to get a good look around the room. For a little guy, he is a very strong!

We're planning a trip to Ottawa very soon, once Evan get's his immunizations. We'll keep you updated once we firm up some plans!
