First of all, I just want to thank everyone for all their thoughts and prayers for us over the past week. We are all doing great and adjusting to our new little one. Parker is doing wonderful and doesn't really notice that much has changed....yet! I wonder what she will do in just a few months when Bennett becomes more animated and can interact a little more with her. Right now, all she wants to do is pet him and hold him. It is very sweet.

Well, we just spent out first weekend alone without any in home help (a.k.a grandparents) and it went smoothly. Coco was here from the Monday before Bennett was born up until this last Friday and we couldn't have made it through without her help. Thank you mom! You are the best!

Last Tuesday, Bennett had his first check up and did great. He weight 7 lbs 2 oz so he only lost 1 oz since leaving the hospital. We go back tomorrow to check his weight again. Keep your fingers crossed that he is back up to his birth weight!

Below are a few pictures of Bennett that mom and I took over the past week.

Clif's mom is coming to town on Wednesday to help out through the weekend and Crosby and Lauren are coming to meet Bennett and visit with us over the holiday weekend. In addition to that, Michael, Crissie and Taylor will be passing through on their way back to Chattanooga to pay us a visit. We are so excited to have such a wonderful family and we can't wait to introduce them to Bennett! So after the weekend we will have lots of fun pictures to post for y'all to see!
