Bloggers please...

Hi family and friends,
As you can see, I'm trying to update my blog. I have a few blog addresses, but I lost many of them when our computer was down. Could you please send me your blog address so that I can include the link in my own blog?
Thanks!

A funny

Here's something to make you laugh. At dinner the other night Janae was putting water in her cheeks, making them puff up a little. Then she said "Mom, I drank like a chicken-monk" (a.k.a. chipmunk)! :)

An update - finally!

Hello! We're back! I thought you might like to see some updated pictures of the family. Enjoy!!

The first picture is of Eric's baby blessing day. Note the beautiful trees in the background
There's one of Janae eating an ice cream cone - the tricky way.
Jacey has a noteable gap in her teeth from losing both of her bottom teeth during our vacation week.
There's one of all the kids in yellow - my three sweet lil' lemons!
And of course, our growing buddy boy, Eric.

Exceeding my expectations

Okay, once again, Eric has exceeded my expectations. I took him for his check-up the other day, and I was estimating his weight to be somewhere close to 15 pounds (maybe 14 lbs. 7-10 oz.) Well, he weighed 15 lbs. 9 oz.! No wonder my arms are getting pretty buff! He's doing great in every way - such a cute little chunk!

New Pictures!

You're probably thinking to yourself, "It's about time!!!" :) Enjoy the updated pictures of the lil' Lemons.

A moment to myself...

Okay, I have a little time to give a quick update. Eric is already 2 weeks old - where has the time gone? In some ways it seems he's been with us a lot longer than that. He's so much fun! He's getting up 1-2 times a night, starting to enjoy bath time, gave a little 'coo' to the girls, had his first "blow-out" today, and loves, loves, loves being held. What more could you ask for in a little boy?

Janae is turning 3 tomorrow. I'm SO SO SO glad that I had her birthday and Christmas done weeks ago. It's helped me enjoy these first couple of weeks as a mother of 3.

Jacey did something cute the other day. As incentive for good behavior, I told the girls that if they didn't fight/argue, that at the end of the day they can put a Christmas present under the tree. It's worked pretty well so far! One of the presents Jacey got to put under the tree happens to be the 4th set of "Bob Books." These books are great for beginner readers. We have the first 3 sets, and she was so sure that it was the 4th set that she wrote 'Jacey's Bob Books' on it...except there was one spelling error: this is how she wrote it "Jacey's Boob Books" Yes, I laughed inside myself and decided NOT to point out the small error! :)

Okay, gotta go, Eric is crying now. TTFN!

Our Newest Lil' Lemon

Okay, so here are the much-anticipated pictures of the newest addition to the Lemon family! Meet baby Eric...



Awwwww, isn't he cute? (okay, perhaps I'm a little biased...I guess I should be!) :)



In case you haven't heard already, he was born on Friday. Labor and delivery was a quick, but intense 4 hours. Luckily Dane made it all the way from work to be there for the last 1.5 hours at the hospital. The anesthetic didn't work so well, so it was the hardest labor I've had, even though it was the shortest. But once I got to hold him, it made all the pain/hard work worth it!



He's not such a little guy either. He weighed in at 9 lbs. 10 oz.! Yeah, that made my jaw drop! And 21.5 inches long. I took him into the pediatrician yesterday and he's in the 95th percentile for weight, and 95th percentile for height. He's a big boy!



Welcome dear little Eric: our little gift from Heaven! We love you!!!
