WHERE to begin?!?
Oh, I know.
The little guy who held residence in my belly for 9 months...
Is now this smiley 10 week old!

To say that he has stolen my heart is an understatement. Who the heck was I before I became a mom?!?
The past 2 months have been the most incredible/awe-inspiring/challenging/rewarding/emotional months of my life! I know every new mommy knows this...but being a mother is the most humbling experience in the world! We've had a lot of ups and downs so far, but I wake up every morning thanking God for choosing me as the mother to raise this sweet, long-legged, clingy, smiley, his daddy-made-over, tummy-problem little boy!
When I look at Bennett I cannot help but think of the scripture in Jeremiah...
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart..." - Jeremiah 1:5
God has such great plans for my baby and each new day I am thrilled to watch him develop and grow! He sure does love his mommy and lights up when he hears his amazing daddy's voice via Skype or DVD!
I realize I have a lot of catching up to do on this blog and I really want to have these memories posted to look back on..so, I'm working on it! We are now closing in on Month #5 of this deployment! I still LOVE marking my days off the calendar. I also want to post Greg's R&R experience & Bennett's birth story, but no promises on when that will happen! For now..I'm soaking in every single memory because I already know they grow up too fast.
You may or may not find me dancing around the room to this song with my sweet little man...
And I may or may not had a crying breakdown when he was 4 days old & I was dancing with him because I was already picturing us dancing at his wedding. Oh the joys...
