Well, Cayden is 11 days old and still kicking. We have been claiming for months that we couldn't wait for the baby to come so that life could calm down. Many people laughed in our face at this statement, but I have to say we were right. Chilling out with the babe is a far more relaxing day then painting, tiling, cutting and installing base boards, putting in flooring, plumbing, or the other myriad of activities that have occupied all our free time for the past 9 months. We are officially on a break from the remodel. We have some trim work remaining, and with cool weather in the fall we will start to attack the outside. Right now our only job is to get to know and enjoy Cayden. Not that it is hard. So far we are ridiculously lucky. Cayden is a really easy baby. Right now I am sleeping about 7 hours a night (I kick Tyson out of bed once a night for diaper changing duty). Not all in one chunk, but he goes for 2-3 hours twice a night. He cries, but not hysterically and rarely without cause. Even better, when we figure out what is bothering him he calms down rapidly. I don't know how long this will last, but we are enjoying it immensly. I personally will be ecstatic if this behavior holds out until my stitches heal. Tomorrow marks my return to work, and by that I mean the start of my work at home month. I have been saving all the high speed video digitizing I need to do for this month (which consists of clicking dots). This is something I can do from my lazy boy with Cayden in his chair or my lap, at least until I am sturdier on my feet (hopefully in another week or so). In addition to digitizing I have plenty of writing and planning for field season to do.
I would say all in all we are doing well and enjoying the new fam. Here are some new pics for your enjoyment:

Dude guy. In the shirt pic, he totally has Ty's nose!
I know, he totally looks like his Daddy.
Cayden is already such a hippie! Nice duds. Nice Criminal Masterminds shirt. I'm sure he's a hit with all the two-week old ladies...
Surely the pants will help him attract even more girls!
