life is happening.

We went to Knott's Berry Farm this week with PaPa Gordie.
Owen's first amusement park at 9 days old.

brothers

Wyatt is doing good with baby brother. He has asked me a few times if he could be a baby again.
He hid from us the other day for so long that we thought he ran down the street or was abducted. He was right in front of me as we were walking and turned the corner into the yard and disappeared, MY HEART STOPPED. My neighbors were looking for him, Pa got into his car and drove off in search of Wyatt, my mom and I were looking all over and then my grandma looked for the 5millionth time in the downstairs guest house and there he was, he jumped out and tried, well succeeded at scaring her. What a little shit. I was scared, furious, and then relieved all within minutes and then furious again.
Tonight he crawled into the co-sleeper with Owen while I went to the bathroom.
I thought being a single mom was TOUGH, but being an outnumbered  single mom is way harder.
He promised me  that he would never be naughty again... broken heart. I love him.

Owen Benjamin

Today is Owen's due date, 9/18/2012. 

I thought that I still might be waiting to meet him at this point but I've already known him for a whole week! 

He's one week and one day old today and amazing.

I'm having a hard time with how fast it's all going, I wish the first week would last a month!

I'm trying to enjoy him and Wyatt as much as I can without worrying about all of the everyday stuff, but unfortunately it all still needs to be done. My mom has been amazing and helpful and loving and patient and I could not be doing this without her.

Thank you mom.

Wyatt is adjusting... well he's adjusting. He's doing pretty good for having his entire world bumped around. He's an amazing BIG BROTHER.  

I am so proud of my Wy-man. 

He had a Karate class yesterday and it was a little rough, he had a hard time listening and following direction. It's my fault, I've let him get away with too much. I need to get him on track.

Wyatt and Pa are going to make a sandbox this afternoon, we just got back from The Home Depot with all of the building materials.

We are pretty excited about it! I'll post pictures.

Here is a catch up of the last week...
