So far, not too bad. Although whenever Lynn leaves me alone with the two of them, I do get a bit uneasy... and they do have a tendency to cry at the same time. Why? I don't know.

What we have realized is that William really was a piece of cake. Now that we have the ability to "look back" by seeing how Matthew acts, we really are wondering what all the fuss was about. I believe its just the shock of becoming parents for the first time. Everything is different... and you're like "Wow, this is tough." But really? No. It gets tougher but you don't notice anymore. Your baby that used to just sit there now starts to run around/away, talk back, throw tantrums, wash your car with rocks, and have their own opinions.

Now we have this little baby. He cries, you check him. Diaper? Change it. Needs to be burped? Burp 'em. Hungry? Hand him to Lynn. That's pretty much it. Low maintenance. Pretty much all your effort sees results, or you get a high ROI. If you're having your first baby and are thinking "wow, this sucks" (at 4AM) fear not. Soon you will sleep all night, but your days will be filled with chasing whomever around the store and/or running around church.

The rain let up again today, giving us a hint of sunshine. It was nice to head out into the backyard and throw a ball around with William.

Forgot to mention that Ryan was out here. He had a good time and enjoyed what Oregon had to offer. Maybe we'll get him back to finish up a hike we started.

My parents are coming out in the end of Feb, should be fun. This will be my mom's 3rd trip and my dad's first. We had to buy a house before he would come out, so now there's no excuse! If anybody that has been out here has any good ideas on where to take him, let me know.

I realize that I've been lax with the pictures. I'm trying to get up another picture page so I can just throw a bunch on there. This would allow others to post them as well. It'll be cool once its done. I also have new pictures of Matthew other than his 10 min old pictures.
