Birthday...
It has, once again, been a VERY long time since I've actually had a chance to set down and write an entry....we have had a busy summer with work schedules, visits, you name it- we've had it...but now that I have a few moments free I thought I would sit down and write a quick update. Last month was Rajiv's 1st birthday...it was great- he had a fun time anyway- Mommy and Daddy didn't have such a fun time cleaning up, but all in all it was worth it. We had an open house for friends and family to stop by and we took a LOT of pictures, only a few of which I will include today. July has been fun- Rajiv loves to swim and we've taken him to the lake a few times now. Andrew and I also had our first water tubing experience- which was an...experience....
And we are now looking forward to the fall with all of its busyness. Love to all my friends and family out there! Hope you are having a wonderful summer!

UPDATE!
First, Andrew's mom came and visited us. SHe flew in from Papua New Guinea and stayed with us about a month. It was a lot of fun and she was such a huge help to us. Rajiv loved her and bonded with her immediatly....it was so hard to see her leave. She is a wonderful person and hopefully we see her again soon.
Next on the list, I am now doing a job I ABSOLUTELY LOVE! (For the first time in the history of my life...hahah) I am teaching in Cincinnati Public Schools...third grade assistant...and its awesome...
hmmm...other than that we are keeping busy...Rajiv is a full time job in itself...he is very proficient at crawling...pulling himself up to things and breaking, ripping, pulling apart, and eating whatever he can get his chubby little hands on. A lot of fun, but a lot of work. So far there is no room in the house that hasn't seen his destruction...but he makes us laugh and is worth every moment of chasing and picking up after....
well....I had better turn in...early morning tomorrow! HOpe everyone out there in blogger world is doing wonderful...feel free to email or call anytime! Love to all!

Today...
Ah, yet another busy day. I woke up to a cold, rainy day.....which was rather depressing considering a couple days before the weather was around 70 or so....I am ready, lets restate that: MORE than ready for the spring weather! I am done with the jackets and boots...and ready to break out the T-shirts and sandals....sunny days please come quickly :)
But, enough of my whining about the climate...in other news...we are doing great. I am still in school, hoping to be done before too long. I go to school from 8am-1pm and then Andrew works from 3pm-2am- so we keep very busy!! Weekends are always the best, we call them our "family days" we just get to spend quality family time, and do fun things together...
Rajiv is growing so much everyday it seems! He is now almost 9 months old, and keeps us busy. He has two teeth which he uses as much as he can, and has most recently discovered how to cause havoc....he gets into everything! (Which is hard to believe considering he can't even walk yet)....but he is alot of fun. His newest game is "pattycake" you start singing and he will clap his hands, he is so proud of himself. He is a happy, yet demanding little man...and a daddy's boy. He has so much of Andrew's personality and his expressions tend to mimic his daddy's.
We love our little guy so very much, and he brings so much joy to our lives. No matter what the weather, he is "our little sunshine..."

Another Sunny Day..
It's our first blog post! I have been advised to start this blog to keep others updated on our family and what's been happening in our lives...
Currently we are doing well. Recently moved, and working hard at life. Andrew is working for a pharmacutical company and I am going back to school to be a paralegal. (this should be complete in a few months with my credits from my previously obtained degree.) We are just trusting and praying that all goes well. Rajiv, our most recent addition to the family is as active as ever, and keeps us busy.
Well, that's all for now. I will write more later....love to all! :)
