Happy 1st Month, Ben

Believe it or not, Ben is 1 Month old today!!! It feels like he should only be about 2 weeks...maybe! Though he is only 1 month he is still growing up too fast. He will coo as I talk to him, and it seems as though he is listening so intently, hanging on every word I say. Words can not express the joy that Ben has brought to our lives. What a blessing this little guy is.

My little Indian

Luke had a Thanksgiving feast at his pre-school yesterday. It was so cute. Luke did so good up there on the stage, he just kept waving at me ...so sweet. What is really neat for me is, aside from Matt ( since we did not live here when he was that young), all of the other kids have gone through the same program, sang the same songs and wore the same costume. ( that each made at school) I sat and watched Luke on that stage singing and I could not help but think of the years that have past when it was once Ashley, then Jacob, then Isaac & Eric. The last time I was there Luke was barely 2 yrs. old and now it was Luke's turn. Again can I just ask... where does the time go?! Oh, how I know that soon enough I will be there for the last time, I am not sure that when that time comes I will be able to escape there without tears in my eyes!

adjusting well

Ben is 3 1/2 weeks old and is doing well. All the kids have adjusted to having another sibling in the house. But hey, they are use to it, right? :) Even Caleb who I was most concerned about with having to share my attention has been doing GREAT! He just loves his new baby brother. He is so gentle and loves to hold and kiss Ben. With help of course! But when Ben starts to fuss Caleb wants to give him back to me in a big hurry! They are so precious!!!
