New pics of Ben, 6 days old...

Benjamin just keeps on getting better looking! :D He continues to be a peaceful and placid little man, smiles frequently (yes really!) and is just SO sweet!

I have been having a difficult time recovering postpartum (even though the birth itself was great). It seems I lost enough blood that it has been difficult to catch up and the past few days have been miserable. I am feeling considerably better today, though, and I am more thankful for that than I can say. Not to complain, but the past few months have been very painful for me physically and I am happy that I can finally see an end to it.

Larry has been trying to balance taking care of his family (all of us, since I haven't been able to do much at all this week) and the demands of his studies. We would all appreciate your prayers for him in this difficult time as well. He has a lot of deadlines looming ahead of him and it is very stressful. He is handling it very well, though.

The other 3 children are doing very well. Grace seems to be adjusting, though she still seems jealous of Benjamin at times. They are all just such a source of joy, though, and Larry and I know we are very, VERY blessed.

Here are the pics -- enjoy!
