Tired but happy


We are one tired family (seen here shortly after Zachary's homecoming), but we are starting to settle in. Zachary brought his big brother Alex a very special present - a bus! Alex was so excited by his present that he didn't let it go for the rest of the day. Alex has been so good to Zachary. He loves to pet him on the head, runs to the pack-and-play to check on Zachary when he cries and loves to sit on the couch and hold him. On our first family car ride, Alex kept an eye on Zachary to make sure he was OK.
There have been a few moments of attention seeking tantrums, but overall this first week has been better than expected. Fortunately we have had my parents here to help out. Sadly they are heading home tomorrow, so we'll see how the next few days go. Wish us luck!

What a beautiful family! Glad to hear that both you little men are getting along so well! How awesome that Alex is so attentive to his little brother! Hope that lasts a LONG time! Rest up and take care of yourself, Natasha and Phil! I have a feeling you are going to need it!

By the way -- Natasha, you look fabulous! And so does the sofa! I was wondering what it looked like...
