New Baby and Assignment all in one day

We thought that you all would like to know that we had a healthy baby boy. He weighed 7lbs 9 ounces and is 20 inches long. We named him Rhone and he made it on his due date. (Nothing like holding to a schedule.) Since we were in the hospital we missed assignment night. They called Ben and told him over the phone that he will be flying the C-5 at Dover AFB in Delaware. That was his number 1 plane and number 2 location. We are pretty excited for both of our new adventures. We will post some pictures soon!

Here are some pictures for you, enjoy!
