Now....... Where to start!
Nate and I just celebrated our 9th Anniversary! You're probably think the same thing I am. Wow, was it that long ago. =) We are now living in Wallkill, NY. We have lived here now for about 4 years.
He has recently purchased a 1963 Chevrolet Biscayne and is working to restore it in his spare time. It is coming along quite nicely and I can't wait to see it finished.

I am a stay at home mom and enjoy it. Taking care of 4 boys is definitely a challenge at times. I am blessed with a large kitchen and love to cook and bake. I am always looking for a yummy new recipe to try and they boys are right there to help make it. I am also homeschooling the boys and that has been fun and challenging all at the same time but I would not trade spending the day with my boys for anything. I must say I am blessed beyond measure.
Elijah turned 8 this past June and is growing like a weed. He is always measuring himself up to me and can't wait to pass me by. He will be entering the 3rd Grade this fall and I am looking forward to it, as crazy as that may sound. He is a great worker and loves to help out around the house and with Ethan. He is a great big brother. Elijah enjoys coloring, reading, riding bike, fishing & basically all the boys stuff. =) For his birthday he was given a Volcano kit and couldn't wait to make the mold and make the volcano erupt. It was lots of fun for everyone.

Malachi is 6 1/2 he is growing like a weed too but does not have the height like Elijah. (not yet anyways.) He is entering the 1st grade this fall and is loving every minute of school. He has a sharp mind and can even beat Elijah some math questions. He thinks he is cool but Elijah doesn't. C= Malachi has a mind of his own. He has the wildest imagination and could play forever all by himself. He us also our clown, he can be so funny with what he does or says and not even realize it. Malachi enjoys reading, riding bike, fishing & basically all the boys stuff but give him some sticks, dirt, shovel, permission to dig and he is in heaven.

Adrian is 2 1/2 and has given us a run for our money. He was our busiest baby and always into everything. But I must say he has changed a lot in the last few months. He as begun to change from the "toddler" to the "little boy" he is hanging out more with the "big Boys". This change is definitely never easy on mom. We have been in the potty training stage forever it seems but he is finally getting it and I think will be done soon. He has recently learned to peddle his tricycle and loves to have everyone see him. "Mommy, look me I peddling!" He definitely has his days and drives his brother's crazy but he will get over that before too long. ( I Hope)

Ethan turned 1 year old this past June. He has definitely been the most different. When he was 3 weeks old he was intabated (tubes in his throat and nose) life flighted from Batavia, Hospital to Buffalo Women & Children's hospital because he caught a cold and couldn't breathe. He was diagnosed with para influenza and discharged after a week in the hospital. That week was the longest and scariest week of my life.
He is now 20lbs and a little over 30 inches long. He is so tall and skinny it is hilarious. He looks exactly like his daddy as a baby. He has 4 teeth and a couple more on their way through. He jabbers on and on like you totally get what he is saying. He does say, dada, mama, ball, and makes sounds for an elephant, dog, car and many other sounds. He gets around well crawling but has not really started walking, He has taken a few steps but he is so tall I think it will be a bit before he has good balance. He mastered the stairs first time and is more of a monkey than Adrian, Elijah or Malachi. He is alot of fun and I love watching them grow.

| Happy 1st Birthday, Ethan!! |
I guess that is about it for now. But I can't go without thanking God for blessing and taking care of our family every step of the way.
