The Reconciliation of All Things

Yeah! It feels SOOOO good to sleep 20 hours a day!

Nana and Grandpa Smith came to visit Caleb! They had so much fun seeing their 2nd grandson! Thanks for coming to visit Nana and Grandpa!

Here are two of our best friends, Jeff & Laura Hopkins. They were Noah's legal guardians and they are also Caleb's legal guardians.

Here are Caleb's first visitors in the hospital! Brock & Nicole Mathison (top left), Alex & Ana Hernandez (top right), Owen & Hannah McCullough (lower left), Evelyn DiCenso (lower right). My goodness, Caleb has friends!

These are the folks that helped Caleb arrive safely on October 12, 2007. Two of Becky's doctors (top left), a friend from church (also a nurse) who helped us with Noah as well as Caleb to nurse well (top right), Caleb and Becky's nurse (bottom left), and of course, Caleb's himself...since he's a big, strong guy!

This here is Caleb's personal tanning bed! Just like Noah, he came home and had jaundice soon after. Now he's got his own personal tanning bed to break down the extra hemoglobin that causes the jaundice. We got home two days ago, and the first night was pretty rough. Last night was better, he ate and slept, versus the previous night where he ate, sometime, and did not sleep (us either). Thank you for praying for all of us.

Here we are, leaving the hospital with Caleb on Sunday, October 14th! Whooohooo!

Listen to this guy! Praise God for Caleb!

Here's Caleb Nehemiah Bacheller! He was born today, October 12th, 2007, at 2:45 pm EST! What a blessing! Click on this link to go look at more pictures of Caleb ( http://picasaweb.google.com/bbbacheller/CalebSArrival ). Thank you for your prayers, all of you! We're all doing well and healthy! By the way, Caleb weighed in at 11 lbs. 7.3 ounces!!! We're setting records! Wow! He was 21 1/4 inches long. And my, does he have lungs! Praise God with us!!

Hi folks, here's Becky and our next son... She went to the doctor today and the doctor said it could be any day (or night, for that matter) now ! We are excited for our next son to be born, Noah's younger brother, but we're also nervous, understandably so. Would you pray for us during this time? Pray for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. In His Unfailing Love, Ben for all of us.

Well, my friend Brock and I went hunting yesterday...Muzzleloader season opened up in SC! We came home with the back of the truck empty...but, with good reason. I had four deer walk straight at me, two does (skinny as could be!) and two fawns. I hadn't gotten a doe tag yet, so all I could shoot was bucks, and shooting a scrawny doe didn't excite me too much, though it would have been my first deer!!! The fawns were probably still nursing...and there's the rest of the Fall still. Hopefully, in the meantime those does will put on a bit more weight...better make room in our freezer! :-) Do you like Venison? Got a good recipe for cooking some up? Let us know! Or, just come by and visit---hey, you could even meet our next son, Noah's little brother...another week or two and he'll probably be around!
