Summer is a fun time to be a baby!

We took Benson to see the Purple Martins on Lake Murray. (click on the picture to enlarge it so you can see some of the birds flying around in the background) It has been estimated that over 703,000 purple martins fly to this one island in the middle of Lake Murray each night to nest. They fly out the next morning only to return again in droves at sunset. It is truly a natural phenomenon and one that causes me to praise the Author and Creator of such a marvel. Too bad Benson can only see like a foot in front of his face at this point. He decided just to sleep the whole time :)
Layne and Mark came down from North Carolina to visit for the weekend. Benson thought they were so cool... right here he's saying.. "Yessss! Wayne's weawy coowol."
This is Benson with his sad face on. He was so disappointed to hear that his friends Carrie and Daniel are moving to Texas. We keep trying to tell him that they are going there to tell people about Jesus and to serve Him, but he just can't believe he only got to live in the same town with them for eight weeks. He declares that eight weeks is just not long enough! But at least now we have a great reason to take a trip to the lonestar state! He's pretty pumped about that.
Mr. Reeves and Ms. Hilda came over to see the wee-one. They brought homemade peach ice cream. (the fruit, not the dog) It was definitely the best I've ever had! We had a great time visiting with them! They are some of the most generous people we have ever met! What a blessing!
