Making an Apple Pie together. Beth loves to bake.

This is our newest nephew. We have 7 nephes and 2 nieces. Brian loves playing with them all. He likes getting them to laugh.

It's a bit blurry but you can see the fun they were having. Brian was outside playing in the leaves with the kids on Thanksgiving. My parents live on 4 acres in the country. So the kids have tons of room to play and tons of leaves to play with.

This is Andrew. He died 2 days after Daniel did. Andrew lived 7 days. He was such an energetic little thing. He would hold the tip of my finger for hours. Right before he died they let us touch him more and I held him while he died. I miss my boys.

Six Flags Fun! We feel that it is important for families to enjoy each other's company and build memories together through fun recreational activities.

I've gone to Niagara Falls four times now. It is overpowering magnificent, especially when you go on the Maid of the Mist boat and get really close. We’ve seen it in winter when most of it is frozen. It is spectacular.
