Max is home or....Jacob, dinner's up!

Melissa did it. She brought our Max into the world at 2:07 am Thursday September 25. I was on hand and had just shined off a spectacular sandwich that I had made earlier in the hospital cafeteria. It was a thing of beauty but more about that latter. (4 different kinds of meat!)

Max is now home and Melissa has been up with him every night. I have taken the task of softening the blow to Jacob. This is two fold. First we want Jacob to know he is loved and secondly we don't want him to eat the new baby.

Jacob has been giving Max lots of loves. But Melissa caught him licking Max's face the other night. To make matters worse Jacob has forgone playing with the Tupperware and gone straight for the skillets. We think there may be a plan in place. 

Lyndsey is being a wonderful helper. She loves her boys and is very sweet to them. I should also add that in all the excitement of Max's arrival Lyndsey has won a climbing higher award from school for completing all her work on time and correct the first time. She is such a good student.

Noah has been awful lovey with the new baby also. He made Max a card welcoming him home and telling him the various reasons why he loves him so. (He's cute, he's little and cute). Noah also won a climbing higher award. We are proud of how hard he works in school to complete his reading, math and spelling each night. 

Melissa is adjusting to being home with the baby nicely. She was a trooper during the whole thing. She was given an epidural (Twice). YIKES. It didn't look fun. 

I've been staying home with Melissa to help out with the baby. I'll be heading back into the normal routine mid week. I think she'll be glad to see me out of the house so much. 

Well that's all for now. Men dominate our house. It's sweet! Can't wait for the flat screen television filled with sports all hours of the day. Testosterone reins supreme!!!! MUAHAHAHA!

Hi Everyone,
We have crossed over into the world of blogging....as scary as this sounds, hopefully it will be a way to stay in touch and share our crazy world.

Things are going well with our family, we are anxiously awaiting for the arrival of the newest member, well most of us, I don't think Jacob has any idea how his life is about to change! The doctor said things are progressing so we are just waiting, waiting and waiting.

Lyndsey and Noah are doing very well in school. A couple of weeks ago Noah earned a "Climbing Higher" award for his writing and illustration. Lyndsey just brought home a note today that she as well has earned a "Climbing Higher" award. We couldn't be more proud of their success in school.

Jacob keeps me busy at home, he recently discovered Cheese Nips and Animal Cookies so all is well in his life.

We will keep you posted on the newest member, (still haven't decided on a name).

IT'S ON!!! Our first blog

This is our first entry. We hope you all can use this as a way of seeing what we are up to. I am still installing the various room webcams so that you can see Melissa at home in real time. It's sorta gonna be like Big Brother without all the games, and people, and controversy, and stuff. But other than that it's the exact same thing in that Melissa can never leave our house unless we vote her out. Noah is the current HOH. (I think Lyndsey and Jacob have an alliance, but I'm not going to say anything. For fear of rousing suspicion.)
