"She is one of God's women, fashioned by His own

hand to show us men and other women that there is

a heaven where we can enter, and that its light can be here on earth."

 welcome to the world dear Benjamin!!

 9lbs 12 oz  22 inches LONG

 first bath by daddy!!

heading home!!!

We're gonna blame it on Clark!!

He drove all the way to Logan to hang out with us for the night...

We were going to watch the Superbowl, play video games, eat dinner, and had even convinced him to stay the night. 

And then...labor finally began!  

Clark got dinner

and a cursory viewing of the Superbowl, and by no fault of his own was even involved in a  lively discussion on the pros and cons of circumcision!!

And then  he watched us pack our bags and waved goodbye as we headed to Ogden to the birthing center.

We thank you Clark for making the trip but feel no regret that it was labor that disturbed our visit.  No better excuse than that I'd say!!!

Im not yet prepared to share my sacred experiences with Anna and David and Benjamin and the night of his birth.  I need to wrap my brain around it a little longer.

But sharing our first pictures is a pleasure and privilege

A dear little family has been created on Monday Feb 6th!!

Enjoy!!!

We sure are!!!

Im going to enjoy every minute I get to spend with them!!

Once again I find my gratitude to God for Ben's safe and healthy arrival inexpressible!! But Heavenly Father knows!!
