Our First Niece and Our First Nephew Day

Last week was a really great week.  Several good small things happened, but 2 bigger things also happened: my Mom has a contract on her house and our first niece was born! 
June Elizabeth's birth was a scheduled c-section, so we were able make plans to see her just minutes after being born.  We watched through the glass as they weighed her, measured her, checked her out and gave her shots.  It was great to be here for these first moments.

While mama and baby were still in the hospital, big brother Ben had to be entertained.  We had a full day with him on Saturday.  This was our first time to watch Ben, so we weren't quite sure how things would go.  He did great and we all had lots of fun.  We went to the zoo, taught him how to fish, spent some time on the playground, watched a movie, played with toys, and checked out the tractor.
