Resuming the Blog!! Plus lots of updates!!

Well my last blog post was WE'RE PREGNANT! Now we are a family of 6 and four of them are our beautiful little boys. Well a couple of them seem to be not so little anymore but we won't talk about that. I want to believe they will always be little. Our newest addition is Liam Elias and he was born on March 20 by my first c section. He weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and was 19 inches. He is a beautiful baby and is a great addition to our family. Plus the boys think he is fabulous which is even better for our family. Before our baby boy arrived we had lots of life changing events happen in our family. We lost two family members. Mat lost his Dad last August and I lost my Dad in November. It was such a sad time in our lives and still is. Papa was an amazing man and I had a tough time knowing Liam would not know him. We gave him his middle name, Elias, to carry on a little part of him. I am sure the boys will fill him with lots of wonderful stories of the amazing Papa he was to them. Austin hasn't played guitar as much but he did get his Papa's guitar when he passed so that was a gift to cherish. I think playing it is a difficult thing right now for him as he has told us many times he lost his best friend so with time it may become easier. For now we don't push it too much. Well that is just a start to getting this blog back underway. I can't believe I took a year break. I guess that unfortunately sadness, pregnancy, and a new baby took a toll on remembering to update the blog.
