So I added a couple new features to the page which you’re welcome to try out if you so desire. If for some reason you need to contact us (and for some odd reason don’t feel like using the phone), you can now send us an email on the new Contact Us page.

Alternatively, if you’d like to leave us a quick note, but don’t want to go through all the hassle of sending an email, you can now use the nifty little chat box over in the right-hand menu. Just enter your name and your message and like magic, it will appear in the little chat box (isn’t technology amazing).

Enjoy.

Well… we got the little whippersnappers home on Monday and so far they just kinda lie there. Hailey and Mallory would love it if they’d get off their lazy butts and come play, but they seem to think it’s more important to sleep. That’s all they seem to do besides eating. We thought about making them get up and start pulling their weight around here, but then we decided to give them a couple more weeks to get settled in.

I don’t think they do it on purpose, but they do tend to snuggle together when we lay them down by each other.

As of 7:40 am today, Emily and I upgraded to four children instead of just two. Jack and Annie joined us this morning with no complications and they are both doing very well. Most likely you’re here for the pictures though so I’ll try not to bore you with all the details. However, for those of you who do want to know, the vitals are as follows:

Annie Haymond
Born at 7:37 am
Weight: 5 lbs 11 ounces
Length: 18.5 inches

Jack Laursen Haymond
Born at 7:39 am
Weight: 5 lbs 15 ounces
Length: 19.5 inches

And now on to the pictures. Check back over the next few days for more details and pics.

Well… it’s been a long 8 months or so for Emily. The last 2 months have obviously been a bit worse than the first 6, but the last 3 or 4 weeks have pretty much kicked her in the gut (terrible pun intended). However, we just got confirmation from the doctor this morning that we’re a go for delivery tomorrow morning. BOO-YAH!!

The picture to the right was taken about 2 weeks ago so as you can imagine, she’s ready to be done with the whole pregnancy thing. Over the last couple weeks the babies have made it pretty much impossible for her to sleep, or breathe, or sit comfortably or… the list goes on. But all that will soon be a thing of the past as our new family members join us on the outside tomorrow. Then the real work begins… =)

I’m not sure how the schedule will work out tomorrow or when I’ll be able to get a hardline into the matrix, but please check back tomorrow or Friday for updates and pictures of our new additions. I’ll try to get them up as soon as I have access to the interweb.

So… with all the pictures we’re beginning to collect over at Flickr, I thought I’d just set aside one post to be the official “Pictures” post dedicated specifically to our Flickr slideshow feed.

Because… you’re really only here for the pictures anyway, right?
