We've Become Aunt Kate and Uncle Ben

So Sarah gave birth to Kaylin Anne early on Monday's a.m. Everything went great from what I can decipher. My brother isn't much for words. He described the experience as wierd.

So ben and I are heading up to Wisconsin for my birthday and to see our new niece. Our family is expanding and we are excited that little bud will have such a close in age cousin.

Sorry no pictures, my parents forgot their camera on their first trip to the hospital, so hopefully after this weekend.

Instead you can feast your eyes on Ben's last (but maybe not final of the season) fishing trip to Stony Creek. Ben has been making the most of the Illinois water and has fished a lot this past season. He got 5 different licenses this year, not to shabby for one season, New Zealand, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Illinois- he is quite happy with his successes, this fish was caught on a very cool crayfish pattern that he invented himself!
