He works in mysterious ways...

The year started out very tragically for us with the passing of Dustin's dad on 1/13 unexpectedly from a heart attack. It has been an extremely trying time, however, seeing the outpouring of love for Doug and the number of lives he touched was awesome. Life will certainly never be the same without him, but I take great comfort knowing he is watching over us all from Heaven.

Although Beau only was able to know his Grandpa Bennetts for a very short while, I now understand why God gave us Beau when he did. I am so happy that Doug was able to meet his first grandson.

Beau and Jenny had a really good talk at the Super Bowl party. He was very happy that she invited him to come over :o)

Beau's first Super Bowl Party. He and the other babies went a little crazy and he is the only one who managed to stay awake!
