Since thanksgiving things have been pretty hectic. We were supposed to leave the hospital on Friday morning, so after packing our whole room up, putting it on a cart, and taking 2 or 3 trips down to the car to pack all our stuff to go home, the pediatrician came in and informed us that Graham's temperature was a little high, and as a result we needed to stay an extra day...sigh...
We were glad to stay an extra day on the off chance that the temperature might mean Graham was sick, but since we later found out he wasn't that made it pretty inconvenient. Anyway, my parents rolled into town on Friday at about 2:00 and we had a wonderful time visiting with them. My mother of course being the emotional lady that she is, felt it necessary to baptize Graham as soon as she arrived. By baptize of course I mean cry all over the place. Not really, but it was an emotional moment. The first Bennett grandchild has arrived, with many more to follow I'm sure (Nate and Jon you both need to get moving...).
On Saturday we again packed our things and ended up rushing out of the hospital much faster than we had planned, and only took a few quick pictures on our way out. Actually four to be exact. My mother volunteered to take some pictures of us with our camera (Nikon D90...yes it is amazing as a matter of fact) and didn't realize the shutter was set to continuous. She pushed down the button to take the picture... and held it down snapping off four pictures before she realized you don't hold down the button on an amazing piece of machinery like a D90. She was a bit embarrassed of her blunder, but we did get four amazing shots of the exact same pose instead of just one, so...I fancy myself on being a "glass is half full" sort of guy.
Well my ten minutes is quickly drawing to a close so I better wrap this post up. Let me quickly apologize for any misspellings, insults, or stupid things that I said that I didn't have the time to edit out. I usually just go through the first time and type whatever comes to mind, so this is a peering into the workings of the brain of Jacob Bennett. Hope you enjoyed.
P.S. I do love my mom and hopefully none of this was insulting. Entertaining is one of her best descriptions, along with intelligent and witty :)


I wish I could write that fast. 10 minutes huh? Good word picture- "baptized". I thought that's what you meant. : )
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of Graham and mom too! I loved the picture of Graham on Thanksgiving. "I love turkey!" Yea, in like 15 years you're probably going to be wishing he didn't love turkey so much. He's going to be a 6.5 by then. : )
I loved the pic of Graham on thanksgiving too! I was feeling inspired that day. Fifteen years might be a bit far out there actually. We were shooting for around 7 or 8. Gotta get those college scouts looking early so we can get him some o' dat college ed-u-cation :) Also scary thought, in fifteen years, I will be 40 and you will be 38... lets not go there.
ReplyDeleteGraham is so koooooooot in that picture of your mom holding him! His fluff hair! Darling.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going to post some of his newborn pictures? Didn't Summer come and take some?
@ Gret, Actually shes coming to take them tomorrow! So exciting! We should probably get to bed so we don't have bags under our eyes tomorrow when she gets here :) We will put them up ASAP!
