Why is it so hard to keep up...

I don't know why it is so hard to keep up with my blog but if I would put the things that the kids say and do out here I would be out here everyday.

One thing Camille said this past week...

She stayed with my mom on Sunday afternoon and had a new outfit on when I met her at church that evening... I must have looked at her like I didn't recognize her but she looks at me and says, "Mom, it is meeee Camille, don't you recognize me?"

Here are some Halloween photos - not the best but what I have for now.

Family Fun Days - Memorial Day Weekend

Matt had off two days for Memorial Day and went fishing in the morning he came back to me and the kids playing in Micah's frog pool so he blew up the large pool (with an air compressor).

The next day we showed Matt what Monkey Joe's was all about... He ask why we had never gone there before now - you can tell he had just as much fun as Camille did if not more!

Can you tell Matt was having a blast... Micah on the other hand would rather stand behind the pumps and have the air blow in his face.

My new plants!

A friend of mine needed to thin out some of her plants so she called to see if I wanted anything - if you don't know I love flowers and gardening (except veggie gardens - will post pictures of that disaster soon). Anyways I said, "Yes!" I thought I was going over for just a few things but here is what I got!

My hydrangea is coming back!!!

The next one is the right side of the driveway...

This is the left side...This is a ginger plant - buried a root that looked like a dead root... but here it is with six shoots coming out now.

Easter

Here's two pictures from my parent's annual egg hunt.

Camille on the hunt...

Meem showing Micah how to hunt!

30th HSB Welcome Home Ceremony

Yesterday we went to a Welcome Home ceremony for the 30th Brigade. It was at the RBC center and they had bounce house and slides, which Camille had a blast. They also had face painting. I didn't get any pictures of Matt - maybe I can get some from my dad. I think he also has one of Micah sleeping on Matt's lap.

Updated Picture... okay well updated for here...

Our last snow! Matt and Camille made a snowman and Micah crawled around and ate snow.

A Story from Camille

Camille loves for you to make up stories and tell them to her. When my friend Cheryl was here she would tell make stories up and Camille thought that was the best thing and since she hasn't wanted to read books but stories to be told to her. I have a hard time making up stories. Any way as you will read Camille has a fun time with it...

"One day, there was a great big tiger named Jack. And he would crawl and crawl and crawl. Then he found another tiger and that was Camille tiger... and they found another big big big tiger that was Poppie tiger."

So this was the story she told my dad last night - she told him some other ones but I couldn't remember those.

Two Month Doc Appt.

Well Micah had his 2 month doc. appt. today - 11lbs 11ozs and 23 3/4 inches. He is a a growing boy! He had some shots today too - my sweet boy was so sad afterward.

Mother's Day

The other day my friend April called to see if they could come over for lunch after church on Sunday and bring lunch! I was so excited because I thought I was going to be a little sad, even though I had my little ones with me. So April, her husband Jon and their two children Ruby and Alex came over for Mother's Day! We had so much fun - Here is Camille shortly after they left.

Oh and yesterday I got flowers from Camille and Micah - so I think Camille is smarter than I thought and has some money stashed away somewhere.

Cute little Camille Story

We were in the car coming home and Camille exclaims, "That boy has girl lips Mommy!" I said, "What boy has girl lips?" Camille replies, "My baby brother Micah does!"
So my son has girl lips... what ever that means.

Thanks!!!!

I want to say "Thank You!" to all that set up and helped out with our 24 hour care last week! It was so wonderful for me to have friends and family to take care of me and the kids after Matt left. My first person was here about 45 min before Matt left. It was also helpful for me to have so many people in and out so I didn't sit and be sad that Matt wasn't here - I did have some moments but it made it soo much better. Thank you all for the wonderful fellowship!

Going Home

Well the nurse came in tonight and asked what we thought about going home tomorrow! I think this is a grand idea! So we are working on tying up the last of the details and hopefully we can go home about an hour or so after the little guy is circumcised in the morning.

Let those that were thinking about coming to visit us today that know we may not be here! Yeah!

Micah's Second Day of Life

Well yesterday Micah did not cry much at all but today has been a different story but those that came to visit will wonder what I am talking about since he didn't cry when we had company.
Camille got to come back by for a visit again today. She has some adjusting to do - she was a little full of herself but she was also here during her nap time. She did sing "Jesus Loves Me" to baby Micah - once I can figure out how to digitize our video I will upload it for all to see.

Thank you all for your prayers - Matt gets to stay until the 20thish.

He is HERE!!!!

Kenneth Micah Lesher has officially joined our family!!
7lbs 6oz 18.5inches long at 10:13am

Setting the Table

Camille wanted to help make dinner the other night and it was a lot of chopping and cooking meat.... Taco Salads. So I asked her to set the table all by herself and this is how it turned out. I was so proud!

Yeah Daddy... park and Easter

Playing at the park with Daddy!


Easter Egg Hunt at Ma and Poppy's house.
Easter Sunday!
Painting Easter Eggs - Saturday night

Matt will be home soon!

As in minutes... since I can't sleep I thought I would update the blog. We are not sure how long he will be able to be with us since with the military things are changing all the time. Please still pray that Matt will be able to be here for the birth of Micah - I would love for him to be able to hold him before he leaves. I know that he will be in NC at least through the 14th since there is a deployment ceremony in Fayetteville on April 14 at 2pm. (My c-section is scheduled for April 17th at 9:30am.)

I apologize if you have asked me a question and I have just sent you to the blog but I have been feeling like I am typing the same thing over and over again so thought it would be easier to put it here. Thanks!

Pretend Play

Camille has started to do more pretend play lately... so today she was pretending to sell me some book. She said "You can buy this book mam." And yesterday she was saying "Hey Lady" and then she would tell me something but thought it was funny that she would say hey lady.

Micah's Room - painted

This is a picture with the bedding...

Micah's Room

Today Tonja came over while Camille and I were at a FRG meeting (Family Readiness Group) and painted Micah's room. It looks so adorable - we have some touch up work to do but it looks great! If Tonja is able to swing by to look at it tomorrow she will bring her camera and I will post some pictures.
