Our BUSY Life......

Wow, where does one start to re-cap the last 8 months of our beautiful busy life?!
     I left my readers hanging with the promise of a new baby due in March 2012.... But before that we've had a trip to California for my sister in-laws wedding, Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, family fun filled memories, Resurrection Sunday and a new neice born!
     To get back on my feet in the blogging world I will basically just post a TON of pictures to enjoy as we went on our exciting adventures. God has been so good to us and we thank HIM for everything!

Heading to the airport to go home to N.Y. The boys really enjoyed having the rental van there....

Home again...with Christmas lights to hang! Josiah and Elijah scurried right up the ladder to help their terrified Daddy!

We did a "Bird" themed tree this past year..the kids painted birdhouses for it...and we put cardinals and doves around the branches. It was alot of fun.
