Well it is here, a POST!!! Sorry followers!!!! Enjoy :)

It was a summer full of memories and blessings. God has walked us through a tough summer and we thank him for that. Everyone is healthy, strong, and happy for the most part. Life threw us a couple curve balls, but we swung hard. The weather this summer was hot as heck after a spring of non-stop rain. The fall has started out beautiful and we love it!!! The dogs had a great summer and were able to partake in our family vacation to MN. My sister got married finally to a great guy, Rob. I wish them LUCK and happiness. We have been so busy all summer, swimming lessons, remodeling, babies, babies, and work. I hope you enjoy the pictures and find yourself with a smile. Have a fantastic week.



PS: The reason I am able to write today and found time on a Tuesday afternoon is that I was bitten by a Black Widow spider this weekend. I spent five hours in the ER yesterday and three prescriptions later I am doing ok. Please watch your children and if they say a spider bite them, just take them to the ER do not wait like I foolishly did. Lots of things to learn in life I guess.

SIDNEY DALE ROSENTHAL

L-R (Mom, Sidney, Nadia, Dad, & Teegan)

Hi Everyone!

Sidney was born on Friday the 12th of June, 2009. After a few attempts to the hospital, Maria after great effort had her at 1130pm. We have to thank Aunt Tara for coming up twice to help! We also have to thank our great neighbors Manni and Minni for all their help! It is wonderful having a big family and we Thank God for bringing us all together safely and healthy. Dad, Nadia, and Teegan went to see Mom and baby sister Sidney Saturday morning. I will post more pictures soon guys.

Uncle Ryan came and we went to Atlantic City, NJ

Uncle Ryan came to VA for Memorial Day weekend. We had a great time he and I went to Atlantic City and saw a KoRn concert at the House of Blues in the SHOWBOAT CASINO. We ate at HOOTER'S and both lost $200 to the WHEEL OF FORTUNE slot machines. I tried to keep Ryan hopes high but, we just had to cut our losses. We return home after two day and he was able to spend some quality time with Teegan. We watched Paul Blart Mall Cop and it was horrible so take it off your watch list and save the $5. We had a great time Ryan come see us anytime!!!!

Making memories!

I'll show you I can walk just fine Uncle Ryan. TAAAH DAAH!!!!!

Teegan v.s. The Beans & Teegan v.s. The Cake

I think we can all safely agree Teegan won this battle. Mom and Dad lost though:)

I must say it was a tough battle for Teegan but, the beans won! Valiant effort though.

Great Grandma Rosenthal Came to VA and Teegan is walking!

Hi Everyone!

It was a long time coming but, she finally made it. She cam last April and brought her sister my Aunt Dorothy with. They stayed for a week it was 94 degree's for the entire week. We are so glad she came and we hope she returns this winter. Grandma was able to witness Teegan's first steps on her own. She only went 4ft but it was amazing! She did it all on her own and she completed it on her 10month B-Day. Now the she is doing 6-8ft at a crack and can go up and down our stairs no problem. Going sown takes a little thought but going up takes seconds. Enjoy the pics everyone. Grandma we miss and love you. Happy Mothers Days to all you Mom's!!!!!

Grandma and Teegan reunite! Mom, Grandma, Teegan having breakfast.

For those of you who think we live in the city, you are wrong. We have deer come eat out of our squirrel feeders at night.

Nadia's trip home was self explanatory from these pictures.

Like most of you know we are still fighting this horrible custody case to get Nadia home and we are asking all of you to pray for us, asking the Lord to bring Nadia home and for this phase of our families lives to all be put behind us. Many more pictures were taken while Nadia was here, she took lots of them herself. If you would like to see more feel free to email myself or Maria. This very last picture is the last picture that was taken while Nadia was here. This was taken by Nadia of Mom just as they pulled out of our driveway heading back to the airport. I usually show the good and better side of our life but, like many of you we all have our challenges that we face as families. With the Lords help we will get through ours and you will get through yours. We miss and love you all. Come see us, many of you have and we love it.

Happy Birthday Nadia we miss and love you!

Dad, Mom, Teegan, Sidney, Kyza, Kota, and Bean'yo
