Adding a name to the family tree!

LITTLE MISS AUBRY

On the wonderful day of June 10th at 7:00 am, our newest member of the family, Aubry Camryn Benelli Garrett, was born!

Cody's sister and brother-in-law decided to adopt over two years ago, but their journey took a little longer than expected (understatement). We know Gods timing is perfect though, and sure enough, now Aubry and Easton get to be the same age!

Now that she is finally here we couldn't wait to go meet her! Here is our first time meeting our newest niece:

Uncle Cody handling 'er like a pro.

Once he stopped being a baby hog, I got to hold Little Miss Aubry too.

Isn't she beautiful?!

And when the crying begins it is time for the amateurs to sit aside and let the Mama save the day.

Kaia and I decided to test Codys camera out.

...oh Kaia, you make my heart happy! :)

No Children at Church?

Cody and I have been volunteering at Falls City Christian Church for a couple months now, where we take turns each month, teaching a lesson to the kiddos. Not to brag, but we have discovered the keys to a successful lesson: games and candy. This month, I chose to stray from the typical 'bible story' theme and go over how to pray in general. Praying is such a beautiful, powerful and important aspect of our relationship with God. I mean come on, we stinkin' get free 24 hr access to talk to the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. This trumps having Theo James's personal number on my speed dial, which I do; in my dreams. Come Sunday, I was giddy with excitement to teach my lesson! My growing anticipation was stunted however when alas, no children attended church that morning. Bummer eh? Not anymore! because luckily, I have this nifty little blog. So here it is; a 'would-have-been-epic' lesson on prayer! Open your hand and take a look, there should be fiv...

Don't worry it's totally normal...I think.

Parenthood is something else. The odd things I have begun to do are probably typical, at least I tell myself that! Here are some new things that I find happening every-so-often. If you can relate, wonderful, that means we can pretend this stuff is normal together!

A Belated Update

February 23, 2018 Dear friends and family, Hello to you! We write this from the Salem NICU. Here we sit and watch the sky lighten and darken in a morphed cycle of hours that have all blended together. Cody and I have received your text messages and read your Facebook comments. Please accept our apologies for the lack of information or response. Here is an update for all of you who have been wondering about our current situation. Where to start? We found out we were expecting, approximately three days after Cody cancelled his vasectomy and relented to go for “one more baby”. At 15 weeks I measured what would be a normal 20 week size. Two heart beats would clear up that confusion. Surprise! Cody replaced his hesitations about having three children with extreme excitement to have four. I however, was slightly terrified. They say if you can manage three kids that you can manage any number....I guess we’ll find out! Loe and behold, our twin gir...
