Erica is Home!

The family is back together again and it feels good! Erica went back to Michigan with her parents so that I could completely focus on a class that was very intense this last month. The class is over and my prized posessions are back with me, and I couldn't be happier! Erica had a great time seeing old friends, Annalise loved playing outside everyday, and I want to say thank you to the Strelecki's for all that they do for me and my family and that without you things wouldn't be the same! We love you Mom and Dad!

Now I'm on summer break and I'm going to enjoy every bit of it. Erica took some pictures while she was in Michigan and I'll post a few now and the rest of them later. Keep in touch!

Recent Events

I'm sorry it has been so long since I have posted, but things have been really busy lately around the house. I finished up my school semester May 14th and started a summer class on May 17th. It has been the most intense class I have ever taken but it is enormously beneficial for me and for the family.

Josh and Michele (Erica's brother and his new wife) got married on the 31st of May and that was a ton of fun and sine I have some free time today, I will post some new pictures of what has been going on and will try to keep updating more often.

Keep in tune!

I'm sooo proud of the family that I have!

A new milestone has finally been hit! The babies are smiling. We haven't gotten to many pictures of them while they do it but I have a few. They are cooing a lot and since they smile more, we can actually interact with them longer, which in turn makes them stay up longer, which coresponds with more sleep for us! It's a beautiful thing...sleep that is. Erica and I never thought that sleeping for 4 straight hours would feel like twelve! It's nice.

The semester is over after exams for me next week. Then I start summer school on the 19th of May. My new job is going wonderfully and I enjoy it very much. I work at a demensia home with 8 residents, and every individual resident has a different form of dementia so it is interesting in how we interact with each of them. This has been an excellent pre-nursing field for me to be involved in. I work 4 mid-night shifts a week and it is tough, but between school and the babies, this schedule works the best. Erica is a wonderful wife, and is very supportive of me and we are thankful to the Lord for everything in our lives and how things have been working out.

Annalise loves her brother and sister, let me tell you. If she had it her way, her lips would be glued to their faces! She is the perfect helper for Erica when I am gone and has actually fed the babies a few times. She talks very sweet to them and she makes sure that they are loved 100% of the time.

Erica is an excellent mother! I am amazed every day by how she handles 3 children at home and is still able to keep a smile on her face when I get home from school or work. She is so content with where we are at in our lives and soaks up the stages of growth we go through with patients and understanding. I cold not have married a more perfect person for me and a more perfect mother to my children than her. I am a very blessed man!

So here are a few more pictures of the past few days and weeks. Keep tuning in for more updates!
