Update...

So it has been a month and some days since my last post... it has definitely been super busy around here, but let me catch you up with what has been going on around here... since Jonathan's arrival things were busy in our house. Dad and mom arrived and dad definitely got busy with different projects around the house. He installed a much needed closet light in my linen closet,tiled a beautiful back splash in my kitchen and fixed the base board that David attempted to fix himself a year ago. We also had a patio installed which looks amazing, all we have to do now is get some furniture for the outside to truly enjoy it (oh and if it can get a few degrees cooler that would be even better!) One more thing... we also took a very short road trip to Connecticut to visit with our friends Pete, Melissa and Terissa! I know its crazy...who in their right mind would have all this busyness and travel weeks after having a baby... me that's who! It was super busy but all so worth it!

Life has definitely changed and for the better, although its taking some getting used to. Yes life is hectic, and there is a bigger lack of sleep for everyone but we have been given the opportunity to be parents once again and that is a true blessing. Matthew's life has definitely changed because of this tantrums have started appearing (yuck!). I have noticed however that if we keep super busy he has a great day. It's hard though because I can't really take him places like I want to with Jonathan being so little it makes it a bit harder, so we try to get creative here at home.. doing different crafts or playing with his favorite...bubbles!

Jonathan has gotten bigger and is more alert now... he starting to smile alot more and coos when he is on the swing. Ah.. he finally likes to sit on the swing and the bouncer. He used to cry as soon as we put him on it but now he lasts a bit longer... enough time for me to either put a load of laundry and fold... or empty dishwasher and cook! I am hoping he starts liking it more so my house can get back in some type of organized order! We shall see... Thanks to my mom who usually comes over and gets is back in shape in a matter of seconds... we love when she comes over!

Well that is all for now... hopefully later on tonight I can download some photos of the patio and the kitchen (and of the kids) and post them as well.
