Exciting Firsts--Golf, Holidays, Big Jobs

Well, this past week was a lot of fun for the two Wilson boys. While Benton went to work in Clemson with Mommy, Matt joined Bert, Dan and Sarah, and went to the Masters. Benton is smiling and talking all the time now. He is growing like a little plant, which is good considering the fact that he is the resident spitter-upper in our family; his cousin Daniel does not share the same skill!

We are enjoying parenthood immensely. It does not come without challenges, however they are a lot of fun. Benton is sleeping for 6 hours or so a night. It can be hard to get out of bed at 5 am, but I am convinced that the Lord gives a little extra measure of grace to mothers :-) That time has become a special prayer time for me, so I actually look forward to it.

Easter was our first major holiday as a family. What a privilege to know and serve a Risen Savior. We rejoice in that. And even this Easter experienced it a little differently as now we have our own son. What a gift God has given us in His Son. He willingly gave His Son that we might have eternal life. What amazing love! We celebrated with corporate worship at our church in Clemson and then enjoyed a delicious lunch with my family. We spent the afternoon at Grandma Campbell's where Daniel and Benton received as much attention as possible. Hopefully I will be able to post pictures soon from the events of the day!

It certainly puts a different perspective on things like Easter and Christmas when you have your own little lad. Somehow makes the sacrifice more meaningful and real. Glad you all enjoyed your day, I caught a couple pics on Carrie's FB, and it looked like a good time! :-)
