He's Smiling, We're Melting

Our little guy is three weeks old and such a happy little fellow!

His little grin just makes me laugh every time!

He has so many facial expressions and they're constantly changing.

 Benaiah's second time to ride in the swather!

Baby Visitors from PA and DE

The day we arrived home from the hospital with baby Benaiah, my mom and sisters, Hope, Elainah, and Serenah, flew out to stay with us for a week.  They enjoyed snuggling a little newborn and I really appreciated their help!  Benaiah is a wonderful baby, so adjusting to life with a newborn has been very pleasant!

Oma, Benaiah, Joanna, and Serenah

Daddy and David flew out for a day to see Benaiah.  Then they flew home with Mommy and the girls.

A few days later, Lillia, Joy, and Grandmommy came for a week!

Little burrito :)

The day before they left we went and saw Justin at work.  Grandmommy and Joy got to ride in the swather with him for a few passes. 

We left Justin's work and went to the Chiricahua National Monument.

We've had so much fun with all the family who has come to see Benaiah!

Joyously Announcing the Arrival of Benaiah Matthew

Our precious baby boy has arrived!!

We are so in love with little Benaiah...

This is the first time Justin held Benaiah, about an hour after his birth.

We feel so blessed to have the privilege of being this tiny little bundle's parents.

He is such a happy little man and a wonderful baby!
