So, this is Austin. He was born on July 4, 2007. So far, he is much more of a difficult child than the first. The first few months were quite difficult and greatly tested Doug and my patience. Thankfully we have great family that helped us out. I enjoy the afternoons when Mason is sleeping and he has free roam of the living room. I love to watch him explore everything and discover something new.

My two boys are the perfect example of how different your kids can be. Austin is so much more cautious. He checks everyone out and takes a long time before he will smile at someone new. He is starting to chat so much more and for that I am greatful. It makes him so much more lively. I know people talk about how much more tired you can be with two, and that I am greatly beginning to understand. God has blessed me with to beautiful boys and I need to just live each day enjoying that fact!!! Although I have to admit and I am ready for a little vacation with my hubby. It is so hard to find the time to just sit and talk or do anything together. By the time the boys go to bed, we are ready for bed!!!!! We shall see if we can figure something out. So far, I haven't felt comfortable leaving the boys overnight with anyone but Austin slept so terrible until about 8 weeks ago. Maybe now we can start to figure something out. For now, I will enjoy the time I can get, even if it is 5 minutes
