What a week

What a busy, busy week we've had... Saturday Sara, Phillip and Kaden came to visit us from Waco and we had a great time...believe it or not the pool was actually too cold for us to swim, but we enjoyed visiting, ate pizza and Kaden had a blast picking up sticks and putting them on the fire for grandpa Swanie!



Sunday we visited a new Sunday School class at GABC and everyone was so inviting they made us feel right at home - we look forward to going back soon. Benjamin was having a rough morning and we ended up switching formula AGAIN...we're now on Similac Isomil - soy formula and so far so good...thank you Lord!

Wednesday Max gave his first presentation to the J.T. staff - we're so proud of you, Dad!

Thursday Mimi, Benjamin and I went to "Meet the Teacher" at Southern Oaks where Benjamin will be going to Mother's Day Out on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting next week! We officially signed away our first home...we cannot believe it, but what a blessing...to God be the glory! Mom, Casie and I had a wonderful "girl's night" listening to Cindy Dykes at the GABC student center while Max and Benjamin enjoyed a "boy's night" at home.

Friday morning Benjamin visited his new pediatrician (Caroline McRae-Vogler) and we all loved her...what a relief! Can you believe that this 11 week old little boy now weighs 14 lbs and 7 oz (87th percentile)...if not, you obviously you haven't held him lately!! He is also 23 1/2 inches long (70th percentile). He is a healthy little boy and he was great at the Dr.'s office; although, he's not such a fan of shots. After the Dr. we ventured to the mall and bought Benjamin's 1st Halloween costume...he's gonna be the cutest little penguin you've ever seen!!

Finally, we got to pick up Benjamin's 1st professional photos this afternoon...yea! If you'd like to see the photos feel free:
