We are finally feeling like things are back to normal around here. We had a crazy first week at home but it was mostly due to trying to get some major things done around the house while Greg was off on paternity leave. Our landscaping is officially complete around the house...YAY! Every year we have been adding to it...next year I actually should be able to only plant pots and weed the beds we have, not plant more bushes and trees. Ben enjoyed having Daddy home and was a huge helper outside...however he wasn't quite ready for Dad to go back to work but he has been adjusting well and getting use to sharing his mom :) Gabe is a sweet baby and wow how different it is with the second baby...we are more relaxed and we don't sweat the small stuff. I feel like I don't have very much time during the day with him because as soon as he is asleep I put him down...with Ben I definitely had more snuggle time. Gabe reminds us a lot of Ben at this age but he has his own little look too...we can't wait to see him grow into a little person :) He is starting to grow out of 0-3 month clothes in length so we are in 3 month one piece outfits but he is just like his brother...long and slim! He has huge hands and feet too :) I am doing well too and healed up pretty quickly, just enjoying my boys now!
