This little boy smiles all the time and we adore him to pieces!

6 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed...

The best part about the holidays is the time we get to spend with family, near and far! The Swans invited us over for a Winter Solstice Party and the Hochards made it all the way from Colorado. The cousins had a blast running amock and muching on yummy food (thanks Kim!), while the grown ups had a chance to chat and enjoy some dinner.

At one point, all the cousins slowly trickled into the guest bedroom, where I was nursing baby B and were quite cute and goofy. Naturally, I grabbed my camera and managed to get them all together for a few photos.

Brand New Year

With the new year already here, I thought I'd be fashionably late and offer up a few photos of the kiddos in front of our tree the day before our whirlwind tour of Russell and Manhattan. 

We hope your Christmas was filled with sweetness, family, blessings and wonder.
May this year be more grace-filled and more hopeful than we ever could imagine.
Happy New Year from the Branicks!





Ollie & Ben

These two are going to be GREAT together. Albeit a little more ornery than I might be able to handle, but nonetheless, absolutely Fantastic.

Baby Benjamin Has Arrived!

Alright, so Mr. Benjamin is over two weeks old, but I'm feeling very protective of his early pictures in the hospital so this is the earliest you will see of him. He is just the cutest little bundle and we are so very in love with this little guy. 

His birth went very well and active labor was a little less than 5 hours. I had him naturally with no pain medicine and I am very thankful I had Dustin's help along with a couple of awesome midwives and nurses to get me through!

Benjamin Graham weighed in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. and was 19 1/5 inches long. 
He is my biggest baby!

Here are a couple of photos from the first week at home...

Happy October!

Well, well, look what finally rolled around.....October! With one week left until the baby is due we thought we'd try to capture a few shots after church today before my giant belly turns to mush. Haha. Seriously, my belly is like a huge egg. I just can't believe how big it can get. My bet is, that this baby will be around 8 pounds when he's born and we are SO excited to finally meet this little guy! 






39 weeks!



Tickle time!
