Our Happy, Quiet Life: Gates 2, Round 8, Fall

Micah Gates and Ellissen Pitziati are 20

Narrated by Ellissen Pitziati

Micah and I are settling in very nicely I think.  We just slid out of our old college habits and straight into our “Adult Habits”… although it’s still so weird to think of ourselves as Adults… I mean, we just graduated from college for goodness sakes!  All of our friends are still trying to complete their Junior Years, and here we are, graduated, with a house and jobs.

Longest Road: Uni, Round 8, Summer

Micah Gates, Ellissen Pitziati, Timithy Bachele, Hannah Lordin, Miriam Regin, and Tyler Ferena are all 20

Narrated by Hannah Lordin

Lately all Elli and Micah have been doing is studying!  Elli enrolled them in this program for a fast track graduation, and even though she seems to love it, Micah seems to be freaking out a little bit.  But seriously, you’d think he’d have learned a lot of this stuff in Biology already!

Adia: Fief, Round 8, Summer

Julio Fief is 28, Carla Fief is 11, Tate and Stewart Fief are 4

Narrated by Carla Fief

Rascal grew up this year.  He grew up a lot actually.  It stinks, everyone seems to be growing except for me.  I’m the shortest person in my class!  I’m taller than Tate and Stewart, but that’s only because they’re four!

Mother and Son Pics

There’s a theme going on at N99 right now about Mother and Son, so I thought I’d take some pictures for it, and before posting, share them with you!

Kalista Sills (I gave her a tiny makeover, hence the hair and re-appearance of her glasses) and Peter.

Quando Quando: Marshall, Round 8, Summer

Candi and Lane Marshall are 31, Rhett Marshall is 6, Vera Marshall is 5, Alexa Marshall is 2

Narrated by Lane Marshall

This month’s family project was fixing up the yard.  Since the winter snow has finally melted, we’re now faced with the task of removing all of the leaves left over from winter and fall.  We managed to make it pretty fun for the kids, they like doing “Big kid work” anyway, so it wasn’t a lost cause.

It’s finally the day of the wedding!  Taja gives Christina a little kiss on the cheek before heading out the yard where she’ll be getting married.  The kids will just have to hold their own for an hour or so!

Dog Days Are Over: Straight, Round 7, Spring

Nora Straight is 30, Alon Straight is 35, Reece Straight is 4, Avery, Eliza, Hal, and Giovanni Straight are 2

Narrated by Nora Straight

Even though the quad’s are entering their so called “terrible two’s” they seem to be getting a little bit more manageable!  They’re very content to just have you hold them, and Hal especially loves to be played with in his parent’s arms.
