Pictures from Aunt Nicole

We had to share these pictures. They are from when we were in KS last weekend. Aunt Nicole sent them. Aren't they great!?!?

PICS OF BEN

Ben's 1st Tooth

Ben got his first tooth today. How exciting is that? Mommy thought there was something in his mouth. Low and behold...it was a tooth. 4 1/2 months old and he already has a tooth. Man, he's growing so fast. Every day is a new adventure for him. We started him on solids last week. Well if you count runny rice cereal as a solid...then, yes he's eating solids. We are truly having so much fun being parents. Ben's such a happy baby too.

HOT OFF THE PRESS

Bonus Question: What movie is this quote from:

"I'll make you famous."

New member of the NEWMAN family!!!

SHE'S HERE!!! Eden Kaylynn Staples was born yesterday (Aug. 27, 2007) at 3:10 p.m. weighing in at a whopping 7 lbs 7.8 oz. My sister, Autumn and her husband, Kenan sure do make pretty babies. As you can tell, big brother, Jonas likes his new little sis very much. We can't wait to meet her. Congrats to the Staples family!!!

Update on BJ

Well, it's official. BJ will be heading back to Iraq. I know, I know...that really sucks. He received word yesterday that he'll definitely be returning to Iraq early next year (2008). We are planning several trips back to Kansas in the next several months. We will try to keep everybody posted on the dates so we can try to see everybody before he leaves. Christmas may be a good time since we will be there for a week or so. Let us know if you want to head our way too. We have plenty of room...ok, so we don't have "plenty" of room. Ben has taken over the house but we do have a spare bed.

For those of who didn't know...BJ took command of a National Guard Unit out of Walnut Ridge, Arkansas this month. He's worked so hard for this command. We are so proud of him. All Army officers dream of taking their own command someday. He's going to be an awesome commander. Wish him luck and pray for us and his soldiers.
