Easton meets Taylor and Connor

Tuesday night Taylor and Connor were missing their mom and dying to see Easton. We went to the hospital and, in spite of a couple of scary incidents (including a near shaken baby syndrome episode and a couple of karate-like kicks to Emily's stomach), it was a good time.

Pay attention to the end. Connor gets Emily out of answering some tough questions from Taylor.

P.S. Emily and Easton are home and doing well. So, after a brief stint in the blogging world, I am giving the controls back to Emily.

Easton Emery

Emily is a trooper. She was not a big fan of me taking this picture. It was taken the night before we went to the hospital. We were at Sports Authority earlier in the day and I was afraid they would stop us at the door. She looks like she is trying to steal a basketball.
I am lucky to have her.

Emily's first chance to hold Easton.

He's a big kid. 9 pounds 9 ounces. 21 inches long, 31 inches long standing on tip toes (look at those flippers)

I think that the looks like Uncle Reed. Maybe it's just the cone head.

Taylor and Connor already LOVE him. I will post the video of them with him when I get more time.

Easton was born at 4:44am Oct 14. His shoulders were too big to be delivered (Shoulder dystocia) so the OB had to break one collar bone to get him out. At first they thought that they got him out without a break, but the pediatrician could feel one (poor kid). He took it like a champ. He gets his toughness from his mom, who has delivered about 27 lbs of baby so far.

Pictures and Stories from the last few weeks

Funny things my kids have said

Connor: Mom, what is this?
ME: It's your collar bone.
Connor: Oh, we have collar bones so that we won't get lost.

Taylor: Mom look at that girl's hair, she must not wash it after she goes swimming because its really green.( the girl had dyed her hair half black half green)


Connor: Mom I'm hungry! Hook a brother up with some pizza
