Well, he's here! Our little boy (#2!) has finally arrived!
Tonight is our first night home, and it's been an adventure already. Friends and family have stopped by to say hi, as well as all the well-wishes via Facebook and Twitter. Big brother Benjamin may need some time to adjust still, lol, but he has been very gentle with Landon.
I can honestly say it's all a bit surreal at the moment. Not long ago I was making my way across the country to a state I'd never been to before, and seven years later I am a father of two beautiful boys. Say whaaa??
It is an awesome feeling though. Having two of them has forced Allie and I to really re-think our plans for the future, and how we are going to go about our daily lives. You really don't understand all the planning involved just to go grocery shopping until you're forced into it!
But honestly, I can't imagine life any other way. No matter how complicated, no matter how expensive, no matter how hectic it can all seem sometimes, I would despise going back to the bachelor life. We had some good times back then, me and the boys, but that time of life is over, and I am so excited to raise my boys over the next 20 years!
It's funny how kids can really shift everything around, in a moment. Suddenly all the things you thought were so important in life fade away as you hold this new life in your arms, totally and utterly dependent on you. And then you wake up and realize how much more you need to grow up and start taking care of business! Haha!
Anyhoo, things are great. We are all exhausted, but so happy to welcome Baby Landon into our home. Adventure awaits, I can smell it in the air!!
Or is that just another diaper needing changed? :)
Yours truly,
Levi
