Chubby Cheeks!

At 6 weeks Benson weighed 11lb 14oz. When he was born he was 6lb 11oz that put him at the 10%. He has now jumped up to the 75%. Way to go buddy! He is a very pleasant baby and smiles a lot. Abby definitely gets the most smiles out of him.

Brief look Cedar Falls and our NEW HOUSE!

Benjamin did a quick trip to Cedar Falls and took some pictures for us. We are really excited about our new job and house. We move the beginning of August.

These are pictures from Benjamin's office at UNI. He is excited to start his job as a professor. He is still diligently working on his dissertation.

Abby is going to be starting Kindergarten in August. This is a picture of her school.

This is a brief video of the front room and kitchen in our new home to be! We are so excited to have a house, yard, basement and nice neighborhood. We have been greatly blessed and helped in getting this house and we are so grateful! Cedar Falls, here we come!

At home with Benson

After a month Benson was over 10 1/2lbs. We were happy with that because he was 6lbs 11oz when he was born. We love chubby babies!

Benson constantly gives us these little smiles. Jamie said she has never seen a baby that smiles so much. We love it. He is also grunts like a dinosaur all the time. It is adorable. We call him our Bensonsaurus.

Grandpa Jamie was here for almost a month. She did laundry, dishes, shopping, cooking, organizing, de-junking, swimming with Abigail and comforting Benson when he had gas. Jamie makes everything fun and always kept us laughing. We got rid of 3 car loads of stuff. We went through lots of stuff and did things to prepare for the move. Benjamin has been super busy with her dissertation and so it was extra helpful to have her around. She is fun to talk with and has a good attitude about everything. She made us yummy food and was just fun to have around. We love you Jamie!

Abigail has been a great big sister. She helps me a lot. She will grab things like diapers, pacifiers and burp cloths. She will sing and play with him and give him lots of hugs and kisses. He is a lucky little boy to have her as a sister.

Benjamin took his mom out for a Mommy-Son date. They had a great time at a place called English Inn.

Coming home from the hospital and Benson's blessing- all within 3 hours!

The blessing was really wonderful. What a wonderful thing to have Daddy, and both Grandpas to be able to bless him and have Grandmas there. It was a very special day. I got home from the hospital at about 9am, we blessed Benson and the Grows had to leave by noon. Grandpa Mark got to stay one more day and we got to keep Grandma Jamie for almost a whole month! (That was a huge blessing also :))
