Welcome to our blog. Hoping this will be a fun way to jot down all of the cute things the kids do and a way to keep in touch with our dear family and friends.
So, to accomplish the first objective. Jacob is the star of this next anecdote. Lately, Jacob's prayers have been very lengthy and full. He has been praying that we'll make it safely to California for the big race (if any of you have seen the Cars movie, you know what I'm talking about), and then on Friday night, he prayed that we would get a dog the following day. This struck me as humorous on several levels. The first being that he tends to be nervous around dogs, so I'm a little surprised that he's wanting one. Second, he hasn't actually asked us for a dog ... just prayed for one. Sadly, it's not likely that we'll be getting a dog. We got a baby instead this last year, and due to allergies, we also won't be getting one. Upon further probing, I did ascertain that if we did get a dog, he'd like to name it Rex.
The rest of us are doing fine too. Eric is smiling and doing pretty well. I'm getting anxious for some consistent night sleep (and naps would be good too), but we're trying to be patient. We tried rice cereal this week. I cannot believe how little I remember about babies. I called two friends (and asked a bunch of girls at church) what you're supposed to mix with rice cereal to feed to babies. Seriously, the 3 year and 4 month difference in the kids ages has its advantages, but the major disadvantage is that I've aged that much since the last time I was doing this, and I feel like I have child-induced alzheimers!
Lastly, we want to make our blog fun to read ... but we're both pretty new to the blog scene, so if someone can explain how to make a background, add friend links, and post lists (for example, my sister posts her menu plans for the week ... love that idea!), please share the wealth of info.

I feel your pain on the sleep thing. Gavin will only take naps in the swing (and only one that swings from side to side). At night, he sleeps in bed with us. It was fine when he was eating every 2-3 hours, but now that he doesn't require a night feeding we have been trying to get him sleep in his crib with no success. He wakes up after about 30 minutes - it is frustrating. Oh well, I am sure one of these nights he will get it.
Welcome to the blogging world! It will be fun to keep up with you this way. It's hard to explain how to do stuff in a comment, so give me a call when you have a minute, and I can give you a very basic tutorial. I think Michelle actually knows how to do cooler stuff than I do.
Don't worry, my sister keeps bugging me to get a blog spot to but i figure, if I start I'll have to keep it up! Yikes!
Yeah, Julie! Welcome to the blogging world. Congratulations on the new baby!
