We took Ben home from the hospital on July 1.
Philip was very excited to get everyone home!
And he finally got to hold the baby's hand - something he has been talking about for months!
Proud Big Brother!
Our new family of four.
Dressed, buckled in and ready to go home! 
This is the best big brother we could ask for.
He is so proud of his baby and "loves him so much." The first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is look for "Baby Ben." I didn't think it was possible to love him anymore than I already do, but after this week I think I do.
I really hope this lasts!
Ben was born June 29, 2010 at 5:58 p.m. after a long day for Mom and Dad. He weighed 8 pounds and 6 ounces, and was 20 inches long.
Here we are arriving at the hospital at 5 a.m. ready to meet Ben!
Making footprints soon after birth.
All cleaned, swaddled, and ready to meet some guests!
Big Brother Philip - probably the most excited of all!
Nana and Ben. 
Meme and Ben.
B and Ben.
Granddad and Ben. 
Some of the characters from Toy Story visited a local Mexican restaurant in town recently. Since this has become Philip's favorite movie, he was excited to meet them! Here he is with Woody and Jessie.
And the main attraction - Buzz Lightyear!!
It was a fun night for Philip and Daddy! 
Philip had a really fun end of the year party a couple of weeks ago.
The party was held at a roller skating rink, but the kids brought bikes, scooters, and riding toys!
We had a fun morning!
After riding and doing the hokey pokey, we had some snacks. 
It was a great way to finish out the school year and have some fun with all our friends! 
Philip's class had a field trip to the zoo last week.
We saw lots of animals.
We took a small break and the kids had a snack.
Then we went to see some more animals.
Everyone had a great time!
