3. Born 7lbs 14oz - just like Jack
4. Anya has adorably chubby cheeks - somewhat unlike Jack and Lucia
5. Anya has two very excited siblings who are proud to be big brother and big sister
6. Anya is now home
7. Anya has a tired mother who is doing well with the new addition
8. Anya has a tired father who is doing well with the new addition
9. Anya thanks you for your well wishes and hopes you enjoy the following pictures -

it's almost time for the new addition to our family

April has arrived with some lingering cool weather, but we'll take the sun when it pops out. Speaking of popping out, the little one in mama's belly has dropped into pole position and is getting close to making its appearance. Mom and dad are filled with that strange mixture of excitement and nervousness, while the kids are busy planning all the things that they will teach they baby such as: going potty, doing summersaults, to dance, and to go to sleep. Keep your celphones charged as we're expecting the new one any day now...
