He's Here!

Benjamin arrived early yesterday morning. Katie started feeling contractions while preparing dinner on Monday evening and so we headed to the hospital where they admitted her. She gave birth to Benjamin at 1:22 a.m. Tuesday morning. Both Katie and Ben are doing very well. We head home tomorrow afternoon where we will join Nathaniel and my folks. Nat has visited a few times and, while he doesn't quite know what is going on, he is taking everything in and considering the situation, doing very well.

My dad and I are planning a couple of "big brother" events this next week to make sure Nat has some good "guy" time. We'll probably hit a high school football game on Friday and sometime next week, enjoy the excitement of Chuck 'E' Cheese.

Anyway, things are excellent at the Olson household. What a blessing it is to be a dad. As I've said before, it is the greatest job in the world.

Enjoy just a couple of pictures. More to follow in the days ahead.

Are these guys brothers or what? The picture on the top is of Benjamin and the other is of Nathaniel not long after he was born. Pretty amazing huh?
