our Portland week - Part I: first two days with Bennett and the fam

Here're the first couple days of Bennett's life, picking up as we arrived to Cam and Rachel's house, when Bennett was two hours old. For birth pictures and a very riveting birth story, and all the updates since then, see Rachel's blog!

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you,
then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still.
Be still until the sunlight pours through
and dispels the mists --
as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
