Baby Jack


Although his sisters have been in and out of the house,  
Jack Benjamin only had his first visit to Papa and Mimi's
at two weeks old. 


We had family dinner . . . fourteen here now, 
but for some reason he was the only one who had his picture taken.
It was the first time I got to hold him for longer than a few minutes . . .
like maybe almost the whole evening?
And he slept through most of it.


Jack . . . meaning God is gracious
befits the special gift he is
Benjamin . . . youngest and dearly loved
just like his dad.

Dear Jack . . . as we have prayed for you long before you came to be,
we will continue to ask God to bless you 
and to make you a blessing. 
May you always know His love for you.

Love, Papa and Mimi
