Philip started 4 year old kindergarten today!
He was very excited!
Here he is with his new teacher - Mrs. Daughtry. Philip's Uncle Rob was taught by Mrs Daughtry when he was 4.
Ready to color at his seat.
Philip and his friend Anne Rollins. They have been in the same class since they were babies! 
We had Philip's birthday party at Pump It Up this year.
It's a big room full of inflatables. 
The giant slide is Philip's favorite!
Dad (and even Mom) got in on the fun too!
Group shot of all the kids at the end of the party!
After playing, we headed to the party room for some cake!
This special chair is for the birthday boy!
Our big 4 year old!
Enjoying his cake - we had a wonderful party! 
Philip turned 4 today.
I blinked and my baby turned into a big, silly 4 year old.
We took him out for a birthday dinner followed by an ice cream sundae.
I think he enjoyed it!
Ben is one month old!
Philip took swimming lessons back in June and did great!
He swam under the water,
He swam to the stairs,
He jumped off the side of the pool and off the diving board!
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.
