Here we are






So, I'm finally trying out the blogging life. Don't let your expectations rise too much, 'cause it'll probably not be too interesting, but that's my life. We are living in Northern Ohio, and loving it. My only complaint is that it's getting cold, and will get EXTREMELY cold. Todd is finishing up his med school rotations up here, and tends to be super busy, but still is finding time to help me out as much as possible.

Michael, our three year-old, is definitely getting big. He's learning a lot each day, and has a cute little sense of humor that he likes to tease me with. He plays really well with his brothers, especially Roger, but I find that he really enjoys his alone time also - makes you wonder what they think about on their own time. Roger, our two year-old, is about as rambunctious yet sweet as they come. He is the typical two year-old and loves to run, jump, and yell. But he's also not so typical, he is always so concerned about his brothers, always giving up his toys to share with them, always trying to lie down with William while hugging and kissing on him. Plus, he loves to express love and affection with us. He will snuggle into me, then scratch my head or arm or back just like he likes it done. William, our 9 month-old, is such a blessing. You will never meet a more happy, pleasant, easy-going, charming baby. He is so easy to please, and loves to hang out with his brothers, even when they "pounce" on him. He loves to watch what's going on around him, and will often try to mimic whatever sounds are produced by others. He has the sweetest smile, which melts my heart, and is quite the lady's man. Whenever a female will give him some attention, he cocks his head, bats his eyes, and gives a charming smile.

My life consists of playing with my boys and trying to find things for them to do, and things to keep me sane. I like to scrapbook, decorate, sew quilts, cook, and read to keep me entertained. Well, I think that's all I have to say.

I love your blog! I can't believe how big your boys are and how adorable, too. I think i am the only one that has not entered the technology era of blogs. I just wonder if people would get sick of seeing Matt and I all the time?? I have been trying to call your parents house to get Regan's address.. do you have it? I wanted to bug your dad and see if he would sell me a swan because my swan's husband got killed and she is lonely.. Are you coming home for the holidays, because it would be great to see you?
