Her first cook out

When I would kiss her she would suck on my lips!!!

Whoa!!

Ciara and her cousin Jack. Jack is only 6 weeks old and he weighs about 11 pounds. Ciara is three months old and she weighs 4 and 1/2 pounds!! It was quite different holding Jack and Brooke noticed a difference with Ciara as well. I believe she said it was like holding a feather!

All four of the Benson great grandchildren-Hayden and his mommy Kristy, Jack and his mommy and daddy-Jeff and Brooke, Aaliyah, and Ciara with Corey and I.

Jack and Ciara again.

Ciara is doing well again today weighing in at 4lb 9oz. She had to go back to the doctor on Friday because she woke up with a runny nose. Aaliyah just got put on antibiotics on Thursday for a sinus infection. I called the pediatrician to let them know she had a runny nose and the insisted on seeing her. Fortunately the doctor thought she was fine and I have been cleaning her nose out to keep things flowing.

On Sunday afternoon we took Ciara to a cook out on Benson hill. We had mountain pies and visited for a while. She got to meet some of her cousins and got some really cute pictures taken. Of course I forgot my camera, so Aunt Chippy was gracious enough to share her pictures with me. Thank you Aunt Chippy!

On Monday morning the Benson's had another cook out on the hill and made breakfast over the fire. I did not plan on taking Ciara to it because she was out the day before and I didn't want to wear her out. But Aaliyah didn't want to go with her dad at 7:00 a.m. so I took her over when she got up. We did stay for a little bit and visit and fortunately Ciara tolerated it ok. Today my mom came over and stayed with girls while I went to Indiana to see my urologist. The girls were both very good for her and she even got Aaliyah to sit on the potty!!! Believe me I will keep trying with her. I am glad she will do it for my mom.

We have been enjoying the company and hope that you will be over soon to witness our little miracle. God is good!!!
