Little Ben's early arrival provided us with the opportunity to realize how very fortunate we are to have been blessed with the friends we have. Thank you to everybody, including Cristen and Colin, who basically had Isaac thrown to them after Karla went into labor, Paula and Lenore, who didn't hesitate to take Mollie at a moments notice, Noah and Gail, who showed up at our door with bags of groceries (and happen to have impeccable taste in food), Janelle and Alex, who made sure we had a hot meal when Karla came home from the hospital, and all the other friends who offered their time, support and love to make sure we were well taken care of. We love you guys.

Welcome to the world, Baby Ben.

Well, it's almost midnight on Sunday. Little Ben was born on Saturday, December 5th at 4:10 pm. He was a perfect 7 lbs 8 oz and 52 cm long. Momma was amazing, especially given that we weren't expecting him for at least another week.
I'm sitting here feeling exhausted and extremely blessed. I have a beautiful, strong wife, two amazing sons, and friends and family that have blessed us greatly over the past couple of days. I've found myself reflecting on the fact that probably 90 out of the 100 greatest moments in my life have occured in the 2 years since Isaac was born. Now that Baby Ben has arrived, I can only imagine what the years ahead will hold.
Over the past couple of years, this has been my prayer for Isaac, and now this is my prayer for my sons:
Lord, thank you for blessing me with my boys. Please bless them and protect them. Reveal Yourself to them, and bless them with faith. Teach them to love you and to love others, so that they can grow to become good men, and give me the strength and wisdom to be a good dad for them. Amen.
Mommy, Isaac and Baby
