Happy Birthday, Ben!

We are elated and proud to annouce the arrival of Benjamin Walter Collins, born July 23, 2008 at 4:01 p.m. He weighed 8 lbs., 14 ozs. and measured 20 inches.

Ben before...

Although his birth time was delayed several times that day, the actual birth was easy and very successful. Kirsten and Ben will be staying at the hospital until at least Saturday, but we are excited to bring them home.
... and after!
