Here are the boys wearing their karate headbands Brian bought for them when he was in Japan.
Ethan's says "Bonzai!" which is like "Hooray!" It's perfect for E-man, because he's so happy & smiley! Patrick's says "#1" (again perfect for the competitive one in our brood) and Nate's is "fighting spirit." I mean wow - it's like someone knew our little Super Nate, when they wrote that!
While Brian was in Japan, my dad & I took Patrick & Nate to the circus. It was great! This is my favorite pic from the entire day... Nate, wide-eyed, enjoying his lollipop!

Patrick's playing NYSL soccer, with his cousin Ryan and Uncle Marc as the coach. He LOVES it!
Nate's doing gymnastics and Little Kickers Soccer. Here he is with his Gymnastics teacher Miss Jill. He loves the class! And, he picks out a piece of candy at the end... we all know Nate is our sugar-bug! They really know the way into his heart:)
Here's Nate after Little Kickers with Patrick (his biggest fan... or sometimes worst) and his best buddy Zach!
Here's Patrick with his spiky hair (it makes him look so old!). This was on his 5th birthday, standing in front of the sunflowers he planted. My grandmother gave them to us - and we planted them from seed in the house this Spring. They grew to be GI-NORMOUS!
