Bentley's First Two Weeks

It is hard to believe that just two weeks ago we heard Bentley's cry and held him for the first time. It is a moment we will never forget, as we looked at one another with tears streaming down our faces. We had surely witnessed a miracle!


In some ways the first two weeks have gone by so fast; in other ways it is hard to remember what life was like without Bentley! He has surely changed our world. One of our new favorite things is giving him a bath...afterwards he is relaxed and ready to snuggle!


The theme of the past two weeks has been all about God's provision. We feel so blessed to have Bentley in our lives, and are amazed by the way God has provided for us through all of our family and friends. For all of your meals, gifts, visits, phone calls, emails, and encouraging words, we are so grateful! They have been so helpful as we've begun classes. Here is Bentley wishing his dad luck on the first day back to school!



We had Grandma and Grandpa Barton here the first week, showing us how this parent thing is done and providing morale support during the late night feedings. This week we have Aunt Jackie here to help us prepare for and get through our first week back to classes. We have no idea how we would be managing without her!
