Now we're bloggin'!




So upon the request of some family members, the Lemiere's have a blog. Crazy. I foresee this as replacing my emails, but we'll see. I hope you all enjoy it.
Dash will be 3 months old on the 7th. He's close to 15 lbs. as of a week ago and looks every bit of it. I took him in for his first round of shots and it was ok, but just ok. The nurse hit him with the 3 shots so fast that he was still inhaling from the pain/shock from the first one before she was done. After 2 good minutes of what I call the "next level" of crying, he resumed his chill-mode and we moved on. However since then, he has pooped all over me 3 times and still takes every opportunity he can to barf on me. Think he's still sore at me for those shots? . . .
But, I am happy to announce that on Aug.5, Dash laughed for his daddy for the first time. I have seen him laugh twice before (earlier this week) but it was his mommy that made him do it. She'd sing "Another One Bites the Dust" to him while he was lying down and he'd crack up. Not a full out laugh or giggle, but he definitely chuckled. I guess I would too if Leah did that to me.
Speaking of chuck. Kaeden, who is staying with the Mathews grandparents this week, called and informed us this weekend that he no longer wants to go by his name. And I quote, "You can call me Chuck now. Or Boyd. Or if you think of something else, call me. Bye." So, Chuck it is. Kaed, I mean, Chuck, has also given Dashal a nickname too. "Chumpy". As in, "He sure is getting chumpy mommy." It's been really fun lately hearing him come up with some real off the wall things. He's been great at making up his own words. For example, he likes to go "snerkling" in our pool. He absolutely gets it from Leah. In fact, just this weekend my cousin Greg was describing all the problems he was having with a boat he recently bought and Leah said, "Sounds like you got a melon." Which as we all know is an anagram for lemon. She was speaking in code. She's way into the Bourne Ultimatum by the way.
Well, we got our well in up on the property a few weeks ago, and it was good. Good water at a much lesser depth than anticipated. Saved us mucho-DeNeiro. We got our soil test too for our septic as well and we came out pretty good. The ball is beginning to roll and so far, everything has been in our favor. God is good. All the time.
That's all I have for now. Nick gets married this month so that will probably be my next post. Let me know how you like the blog set-up. Anyone can comment, or email back.

Nice work on the blog. Keep it up with the pictures and stories. Any reason why Kaed likes "Chuck?" Not that a five-year old needs a reason, but why Chuck?
