3-month old Benjamin!

Wow, I can't believe it! Already three months old. Barrett and little brother had a big day celebrating by having friends over to play and then going swimming at the pool! Benjamin is sleeping a lot right now and growing a ton! He is probably about 14pounds and is smiling and talking all the time.

Barrett (who says so many words it is scary!) calls Benjamin "Brother" and tells him how much he loves him (as he hugs him way too tight)! We are thankful he is doing well and we head back to Children's next week for hearing checkups. So far the hearing loss in one ear seems so minimal that we will just be watching it.

Here is a fun picture of B and our friend Carla Jean on a "date night." CJ is sweet to take him to family night at Chick-fil-a and he loved having his face painted and all the yummy ice cream! That is what I call a fun date!!!

Baptism day/Father's day







We celebrated Father's day with family and friends as we also baptized Benjamin at Red Mountain Church.

Barrett's favorite part of Benjamin's baptism was singing the song "I am Jesus Little Lamb" that we sing in honor of Lawson Finch at every Red Mountain Baptism.

The words to the song are "I am Jesus little lamb, Ever glad at heart I am; For my Shepherd gently guides me, Knows my need and well provides me, Loves me every day the same, Even calls me by my name." I don't think Barrett missed a word (we sing it a lot around here). It was a precious day for our family and we are so thankful for all the amazing friends who have supported us and prayed for Benjamin's health since he was born.
