Wyatt - 3 weeks old

I've got a new appreciation for people that have kids (plural). Man, oh man is it more difficult having two than just one! They say it gets easier...lets hope. Even leaving the house and going into town is a big mission. Our car is way too small. We can't even go to the grocery store with both boys because there's no room to put the groceries anywhere. Unfortunatly there's no new car in our budget anytime soon. We'll be driving our blue toyota till that thing dies. It's far from flash but does the job.
Wyatt now weights 9lb 4oz. When the midwife visited last week she was quite pleased with his weight gain. No kidding...if he wasn't gaining weight I'd be suprised because I seriously feed this little boy about every two-three hours. Exhausting...he's sucking the goodness out of me, and I'm left feeling really tired and drained every day. Iron tablets are suppose to help. Besides the lack of sleep, the permanent tiredness, and stress of new house stuff and school, life is good. No seriously, it really is. I've got two gorgeous little boys, and one gorgeous husband, and a fantastic house...Oh, and the sun is shining...it's summer :-)
These are pictures that my friend Toni Larsen took - aren't they gorgeous? I just love the soft downy hair on Wyatt's shoulders and back (I'll actually cry when I realize that in a few weeks it will all dissappear), his cute dimple (everyone in our family has a dimple!), and his little button nose. He's the spitting image of Luca.

My mom is over in NZ visiting for a few weeks, and has been a huge help with the boys and around the house. So far we've hosted an Open House Sip n See for Baby Wyatt, hiked the trails around our house, installed a few curtains in the house, toured the local playgrounds and swimming pools, travelled to Wellington, got lost in the Corn Maze, attended a free concert in the Square, had an adventure on our local bus system, had NZ driver lessons (she can now drive by herself in NZ!) and hung out around the house. Next week I'll be in school all week so Grandma Cassie becomes the babysitter for the week. If I could find my download cable I'd post some pictures of our adventures...it's lost somewhere in the house.
