Family photo last weekend.

We went for a walk this morning for the first time. I figured we might as well take advantage of the warm weather in the middle of February. It was a little windy so we didn't stay out very long, but it was soooo nice to be outside for a few minutes. It has been awhile since I was able to enjoy the outdoors. We were only walked for about 10 minutes, but when we got back to the house I was out of breath. I guess that is was bedrest will do to a girl!


Apparently, Gracelyn doesn't just suck her own thumb. She is just as willing to suck Ellie's fingers, too!



What perfect little miracles!!!

What blessings! I can't wait to see them again. I see you got a stroller. It will be so nice to have, and eventually a walk will probably put them to sleep. You'll be walking a lot I'm sure! love y'all!

Hey Julia & Dave,
- The "girls" are obviously thriving! How are Mom & Dad doing? Are you getting any sleep?
- Going back to work after 1 newborn was almost too much for me, so I can't imagine how much of a challenge it is for you both.
Love ya,
Carol P.

Benjamin at 6 months

Ben is such a joy!  He is such a sweet, loving, cuddly, happy baby!  Ben loves taking a bath.  He will splash and splash and splash in the tub for as long as I will let him.  We haven't started giving him any food yet.  I can just picture the huge messes ahead and figure if I can put it off a little while longer, why not?  I know, by the looks of him you would think he eats us out of house and home!  He is a big guy and we love kissing on and squeezing every sweet soft roll!

November

As I was looking for pictures to quickly update about November, I realized I don't have many.  Here is Ben trying to eat the stem of a pumpkin.  He had to squish his face down against the pumpkin because the stem was so short, but he was determined to bite it.  Repeatedly! Gracelyn and Ellie had their first program ever and I missed it.  Yep, I deserve mother of the year.  I was at home with Ben and just forgot.  If you know me, you know I cried.  It was a sad day.  And I can't find a decent video to copy from anyone.  The short clips I do have are really far away and all I can really see is that it was absolutely precious.  I still can't believe I missed it! We drove to Atlanta for Thanksgiving.  We had a great time with Dave's parents! Everyone was exhausted on the way home!  It was a LOOOONG drive home!  I did almost all of the driving and drove through the night so we could get home for Dave to work ...

Just because...

It was a nice day today so we went in the front yard and played for a little while.  The girls had fun running up and down the sidewalk while Ben just bounced away in his bouncy seat.  Love watching these precious babies grow up!! Gracelyn Ellie Benjamin
