it's october 10th...

and THIS is how we spent our morning:






brrrrrr.....!!!

here are a couple photos of the 4 men in my life:



both boys love their youngest brother, but it's especially fun for me to watch benjamin play the "big brother" roll, reading to gavin and kissing him all the time. the other night i did a trial run of putting benj to sleep with gavin in my arms (for the nights mike will have to work, and i'll be in charge of bedtime for all 3). i was all teary eyed as i sat there in the dark, and benjamin repeatedly patted gavin's back and rubbed his head while trying to put himself to sleep.



when it comes to babies, the "third time is a charm" rule must apply because gavin is the best, easiest, sweetest thing ever. he rarely cries or fusses, he sleeps all the time and without bother, and is cuddly and warm and downright perfect. i couldn't be more in love.
