This past week marked several milestones for us. Gavin is 1 month old! Time has flown by since he was born. I feel like it is still the beginning of July, and here we are in August. But Gavin is truly a good baby. He is giving me a reasonable amount of sleep at night so I can function during the day. That's all I can ask at this point, really. And he adds an incredible dynamic to our family. He is sweet and calming and so very handsome. 
Owen is 3 years old! Yes, my little Owen had his birthday this past week. And the big brother in him is coming out full force. Aside from his usual help with diaper changing and burping and the like, I have noticed an interesting phenomenon. He likes to hold Gavin...a lot. If I happen to leave the two alone for a moment, I come back to find Gavin in a new place. Hmmm. I wonder how that happened?
We have been married for 9 years! Mark and I just celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary. And he gave me the best anniversary present ever. He let me sleep in first of all. And when I awoke he told me he'd be taking the day off work. That may not seem like much, but tears came to my eyes when I heard it. I NEEDED the break. We spent the day getting some important errands done and eating lunch out as a family. It was low-key, relaxing, and simply wonderful. Eating good food and tackling my "to-do" list...the day was just right.

Boy, those solomons can do it all. they give you good babies, helpful, handsome 3 year olds and a husband that "does errands". what more can you ask for. but i must say that the hodson part adds great looks, patience kindness and organizational creative flare to the mixture. love ya

Justin said that Owen looks like a stud in that picture. You have such cute boys. I still can't believe it's been 9 years!
Awww. This post brought tears to MY eyes! That was really sweet of Marky Mark. And that picture of Owen is just priceless, and I would also agree with you on the handsomeness of baby G.
I would also like to tell you that I am just hoping to give you your birthday present, Owen his (very late) birthday present, and Gavin his (very very late) birthday present when you are in Utah.
Because that's how I roll.
DUDE, little Owen is a mini me of Mark isn't he? So adorable. and BTW, Gavin is a BEAUTIFUL baby! (not all of them are, let me tell you!) I hope you're hanging in there and remember, he will only be this little once AND he will only be this little once!!
