Benjamin Graham

On March 17, Benjamin Graham was born, and Jack instantly became a big brother! Life would never be the same. After a shocked cry at seeing him for the first time, Jack took to Benjamin with tenderness that has not let up since. And the rest of us—Mark and I and Mommy and Daddy—grow more in love with his baby brother every day. Benjamin was 8 lb, 8 oz at birth, robust and beautiful. His delivery went smoothly, and during Elizabeth and Andrew’s stay at the hospital with him, Jack spent time with us in Austin. Andrew’s dad would be the first grandparent to welcome him after his birth. We would see him along with Jack upon his homecoming. What a joyous day! And it happened that Amy and Mike were in Houston at the same time for Molly’s soccer match in Waco. The two of them with Bonnie and Jennifer visited us at Elizabeth’s. It was a beautiful beginning to Benjamin’s life at home.
