Annelise loves reading books. She surprised me by reading the entire 2nd chapter of this book all by herself. She just kept reading and reading...long chapters. Pg 37-62!

A Smile

Benjamin is not extremely smiley, but he does like to smile a little in the mornings. Daddy is good at bringing out the smiles!

1 Month Old

I can't believe little Benjamin is already 1 month old. He is already getting so big. I want him to stay little, but he isn't. Today he weighed 10 lbs 11 oz. What a big boy. Here are some 1 month photos of him.

 So peaceful...

This is what he looks like when he is hungry

These are photos from last week.

1 Week Old

We are all loving our little Benjamin who is now 1 week old. Time is flying already...Here are some photos from his 1-week birthday. (More are in the web album on the right in the "Benjamin" file.) Sometimes he looks like Caleb, sometimes he looks like Annelise.
