I decided I would take the time My wife was using to name her blog to get mine set up and begin this process.

News - Today, Benedict is 10 days old. He is acting like a normal newborn, being awake for periods and asleep for periods.

Both boys think he is the most amazing thing. Charlie impulsively wants to grab him and pull him close and give him a big hug. Henry wants to spend most of his day with him. He can lie down for a half hour (or at least 15 minutes) and watch him. He runs to Ben if he hears him crying and says, "I need to help Ben."

I am taking my second week off of work more selfishly than for the need of the family. I am enjoying the free time and will have plenty to catch up when I get back.
