When all else fails...
We have had a problem with a certain chicken escaping from the yard lately, so we went to the good old "locking him in" trick. That has worked beautifully until the other day when he decided to just simply scale the fence. Yea, can anyone say trouble??

the first year...
Today marks one year. One crazy year. One crazy, blessed year.
Cole,
I have found myself more than once thinking back to this day last year and I have found myself overwhelmed. Overwhelmed my precious son at who God is, overwhelmed at His goodness, His blessing. These words are what I wrote after seeing you for the first time...
June 1st 2:30 am
My night nurse finally said I could go see you if I felt up to it, if I could have managed I would have leaped out of bed!! It was a long trek down the hall to where you were staying, but within a few moments I was staring at your sweet little LIFE for the first time. Your perfect little toes, on your tiny little feet. All 10 of your incredibly long fingers on two incredible little hands. My first thought was how truly incredible it was that your tiny little body was so perfectly formed. All your features, everything, just as God had planned...
And so here I am today, one year later left thinking about the amazing things God has done through your LIFE in the past year, and Cole, I am overwhelmed. Your LIFE has touched more people than you will ever know. Your LIFE Cole Robert Bennett. Your LIFE, is a gift. Please treat it as such.
God ordained you. He knit you together. He PLANNED you. HE is your LIFE'S author. He is the reason you could devour cake today!! He is the reason you are alive!! Please remember that son. Without Him, we are nothing.
I feel like I need to also share some notes with you about your siblings, simply put, they adore you son. I will never tire of hearing "Cole Robert!! NO, NO!!" as you try to steal a favored toy from your big brother. Or seeing the love and care in your biggest sisters eyes as she plays with you. Or the fact that when your other big sister saw you for the first time and fell in love she immediately told me that we needed to adopt you because she did not want you to go away, not ever!!
Cole, you are loved indeed. not just by countless fans on this earth, but by your heavenly Father. Cole my prayer this night, is the same prayer I had when I carried you inside. I want you to know HIM, to desire a relationship with HIM. I pray that one day you will be able to see this Father that knit you together with such care. Remember son, your LIFE is only LIFE because God said so.
Love,
Your Mommy
