Update

With the girls' birthdays approaching, I wanted to let everyone know what we all have been up to.

Scott passed is PA State EMT Certification and got a job with Noga Ambulance in New Castle.  He is still working as an orderly at Ellwood City Hospital.  He's been taking online classes for a degree in Fire & Emergency Management. And, finally, he will be out of the Army in December. He has been in for 9 years, so it will be a big adjustment for our family. He's been fishing this summer in his spare time.

Jaime is still working as a Medical Assistant.  She spends her free time taking the kids to their various activities and helping out with the youth programs at church.

Arianna will be 7 on August 29th. She will be in 1st grade at Laurel Elementary this fall. She takes dance during the school year and can't wait for it to start again. She played t-ball this past spring. This summer she went to dance camp, church camp, VBS, art camp, and will go to swimming lessons next week. She wears size 6/7 and likes Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana, Silly Bandz, animals, Littlest Pet Shop, and Barbies. She is also excited to go to the Youth Field Day at the Coachmen Club this Saturday for hunting, fishing and boating. Arianna had an upper endoscopy last month due to reflux and to rule out Celiac Disease. They endoscopy was normal except for some nodules in her small intestine from the stomach acid so she is just to keep taking Prevacid.

Talia will be 5 on August 19th. She will be starting Kindergarten at Laurel. She takes gymnastics and has started the training team this summer to be able to start going to competitions. She will be playing soccer this fall as well. This summer she went to gymnastics camp, art camp, VBS and will be also taking swimming lessons next week. She wears size 5 and likes Silly Bandz, jewlery and makeup, Barbies, Polly Pockets, and drawing, painting, and coloring.

Danica will be 1 on September 25th. She wears size 12 month clothes. She has been walking since the day before she was 10 months old.  She loves her sisters and follows them around everywhere. She likes to dance to music. She likes to play outside and in her wading pool. She had a pelvic ultrasound last month to make sure her ovarian cyst has resolved, which it did.

Most likely the girls' party will be September 11 at Ewing Park in Ellwood. We will send out invitations when we get it all planned.
