It's been 35 days for Ben- yay! We're all adjusting to our new life together as a family, learning to sleep less and multi-task more. Benjamin is developing wonderfully, gaining an additional 3 lbs since birth, smiling occasionally and trying to hold up his head (which is pretty darn large!).
We'll be driving to Red Lodge, MT this weekend to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Welch clan. It will be our first long drive with Benjamin and we're extremely curious to see how it will go! And we're so excited to be able to spend time with family during this holiday, as we weren't able to last year.
We're still keeping our eyes on Africa and are tentatively trying to plan our return, sometime next year, as our visas expire in April. Eddy traveled to Chicago this week to work on Benjamin's Brazilian papers-- a necessity to travel and to go back to the land of sand. We've recently had the privilege of making some new connections, which through prayer and planning, will hopefully provide some different opportunities when we return. We look forward to all that God has in store for both that troubled nation and our family!
Photos: 5-weeks today, enjoying some blanket time... The two color photos- the first is Ben at 2 weeks looking very skinny! And now, our little chunky 12 pound boy!
