Finally an Update

Well a lot has happened since we last updated our blog. We have not been as diligent because since our last post, Damian, the little bug, stood on the laptop and ruined the screen. It is not difficult but rather inconvenient to go upstairs and use the desktop pc.

First we had October. In October, Kimberly took the boys to a pumpkin patch. They had a great time and got to bring back a bunch of gourds and small pumpkins.

Of course Halloween is in October as well. Sterling unfortunately had a bout with the flu on Halloween so he stayed home and did not dress up, but the other 3 had a ball and Tomy even took a bag around to all the houses so that Sterling would get candy too. What a good Brother.

In November we celebrated Tomy's birthday with a big party bash. He had cake and ice cream and lots of fun.


In early December we got our first real New England snow storm. It dumped about 4 inches of snow and they shut down the schools. Go figure.
On the 23rd of December we made a trip down to see Aunt Kathy...


and go into The Big Apple. We had a great time in New York City too. We visited an amazing toy store, FAO Swartz. The same toy store that "Big" was filmed in.


This statue of Chewbacka is made entirely out of Legos. Pretty darn cool.


Of course Mommy had to have her picture taken with all the animals...


And so did Daddy.


Nothing like standing next to a life sized bear and deer. This store is cool.


We saw a pretty cool big Christmas tree...



and the Plaza hotel. A must see location for any "Home Alone" enthusiast.


And what would a trip to New York be without visiting the world famous Rockefeller Center and see the magnificent Christmas tree there.


It is so unbelievably amazing. Words cannot describe what it is like to go to New York and experience that.

And of course, December culminates in Christmas day itself. Here are the crazy boys, standing next to our tree, all wearing their brand new sweaters. They all look so handsome.

Well that is the last 3 months is a very small nutshell. It has been a very good time and we really enjoyed it but it would simply take too long to share every little detail lol.

Our Labor Day weekend trip to Boston

Before getting to Boston, we stopped in Cambridge in hopes that we might spark some desires in some people we know to go to a school there.


Here is a man that is hoping that all four of his boys will go to Harvard.

They don't look like serious students, do they?

Zach and I sitting on the steps of the library at Harvard pondering the meaning of life.

Off to Boston

We walked on the freedom trail. We went as far as we could on it until the boys started getting tired. Some lady got her feet in my picture.

This is the picture I took when we got off the T (the subway). Downtown Boston. Very cool.

This cemetery is in downtown Boston. Many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried here like Samuel Adams and John Hancock. Some of the headstones looked like they were sinking into the ground.

Our day in Boston was so exciting, we think we will go back for more. Stay tuned for our future adventures in Boston. We'll scope it out so we can take all our family and friends when the come and visit soon (Hint hint)

Sights on the way to MA

Damian and Zach wanted to pose by the Sinclair dinosaur at the gas station in the middle of all the corn fields on the way to MA.

Me and the boys at the Kirtland temple.

Aaron and I at the Kirtland temple. I think we look like our eyes are glazed over. At this point we are very tired of hearing "Are we there yet?"

The boys and Aaron's first time at Niagra Falls. It was beautiful, just like I remembered it. The boys were distracted by sticks and dirt. Boys are so weird. Oh well.

I don't know how that boy on the bottom got into the picture. Must be someone else's kid.

Aaron almost jumped. Who could blame him? He's got a few nuts on his hands.

Newest bikers

About 4 weeks ago, Aaron's sister, Kathy came and we had so much fun! Kathy is a delight. She makes the boys smile and she makes me smile. We really love her. We played board games, went for a walk, went to dinner, and two of the four Lewis boys learned how to ride their bikes in one day. It was so nice to have another female in our home. Here are a few pics from our exciting weekend with our Aunt Kathy.

This is Zach throwing away his training wheels. He is quite the mover on the bike!

The First Day of School

Well today was the first day of school. Sterling, Tomy and Zachary all got to start the new year off in a new school in a new city. Unfortunately my camera sucks now and the picture has terrible color but you can see how handsome all four of the boys were for the first day of school. Even Damian got new clothes. The older were so excited to start school and Damian was so sad that they were all going to be gone most of the day. Kimberly told me that he cried for his daddy and brothers for quite a while this morning. He loves his brothers very much.

Tonight at the dinner table we learned how the boys did at school. They are starting the year off good. Learning math, science, and art right away. They are so excited. They are going to do a good job I am sure of it.
