Congrats, Ben! Beautiful work. It was fun to see you there and meet Joy. And thanks!
Congratulations Ben! That’s awesome news! We are all excited here! 
Ben! Wow! That’s so exciting and thrilling!! I love all the stuff you do and you’re so very creative – I’m so thrilled for Joy, too, that she gets to be a part of all of that. Fun! Exciting stuff in the midst of the tedium of everyday life and paying bills, etc.

3 little ones and counting! What blessings the Lord has in store for you! Congratulations! and much love sent your way. I would love to babysit. Are you close to me in Athens AL? Bring on the children. Mr Mike and I are transitional empty nesters. My brother lives temporarily with us. His 7 year old son comes on visitation 3 or 4 days a week depending on what week visit it is. Blessing! We have not had such activity since the last of the Ford boys moved away 4 years ago! Activities in the house again! Love it!
Hey Ben & Joy;
I am so happy for you guys. If it’s a girl, I’ll be able to give her some pointers on being the “little sister” of brothers; I have 2 brothers, 2 & 4 years older. :^D
Love & miss ya’ll!
Yes!!!! The world needs more Finches!
