Our New Cousin, Benson Lawrence Bland
We are so happy to announce that our new cousin, Benson Lawrence Bland, was born June 4, 2007 at 7:22 pm. He weighed in at 6 lbs 14 oz and was 19 inches long. It was almost a 30 hour labor, but Aunt Jennifer was so tough! Uncle Nathan was and has been such a great support, as she hasn't felt good for 9 months! They will be such wonderful parents! Just a couple weeks after we came home from the hospital, Uncle Nathan and Aunt Jennifer came to visit us and to help Mommy and Daddy. They even gave them the night off. We enjoyed our time with them so much that we kept them up almost the entire night! :) We can't wait to meet our sweet cousin! Daddy got to be there when he was born, but Mommy and us girls get to see him this weekend! We can't wait to give him lots of kisses...and one day make him play dolls with us! :) Congratulations, Uncle Nathan and Aunt Jennifer we are all so proud of you and your new blessing straight from heaven!!!!

Meet the newest Tigers fan!!! Isn't he so precious?!

Yea, the baby is here! There's a little bit of selfishness in that excitement....now I know you'll be making a Tupelo trip! The only question is, with or without the angel babies?!?

Benson is a sweet little baby! Congrats to Jennifer!
It was so great seeing your family for the reunion. The girls are just amazing. I can't believe how big they have gotten. I have decided I can't wait that long to see them again or they will be grown! My thoughts are with you and Eric and the girls all the time! If you need anything, anything at all...Eric has my number! Remember July 4 they will receive their bday gifts from us. Ha. Silly me.
love, Margaret
