Easter 2008

This will be the last post that I do today. If anyone is interested, I have done about 3 or 4 to try and catch up the last month. Easter this year was spent at Grandma and Grandpa's. Jon had to work Easter night, so we went to church and then went to my mom and dad's for an early dinner. The kids had fun hunting for eggs and eating a TON of candy.







Payten's Easter Party

The Thursday before Easter, Payten had an Easter party at school. I was able to get away for a couple of hours and go with her. It was really cute. They had an Easter egg hunt and played on the playground. I got a few pictures while we were there.

This is her friend Trevor. I think she has a little crush on him.

Finally...Pictures of Jackson

OK, my internet has been down for almost a month, so I have not been able to upload any pictures to my blog. Yes, this has been EXTREMELY frustrating, but we finally got it working today. Hopefully it will stay fixed.
Jackson Lee Free came into the world on February 26. He weighed 8 lbs, 12 oz and was 21 inches long. I was induced, which I was a little aprehensive about, but things went wonderfully. I was only in labor a total of 5 hours and only had to push once before he was here.
Payten and Seth have been doing great having their baby brother here. Both have adjusted pretty well. Me, on the other hand, am taking a little longer to adjust to life with three. This past month has definitely been a learning experience for me. I am getting more comfortable, so now the test will be seeing how things go when I go back to work.
