This has been a week to remember! Bennett Dale Swager was born on Sunday afternoon May 7, 2006. He was almost 3 weeks early, so he was somewhat of a surprise. He weighed 6lbs, 11 ounces and was 21 inches long.
We are all home now and learning to adjust to the new life and the new surroundings. We are all a little tired, but are coping quite well. Grandma and Grandpa van Leeuwen got here Monday afternoon and left, sadly, this afternoon.
The first pic is of Bennett getting ready to come home from the hospital. He is wrapped in a blanket that was made for his daddy by his great grandma Van Foeken.

Bennett....
He is quite little and everything seems so large on him, like this hat:)
