Welcome 2011....

Hello from the Archibald house, and Happy New Year!!  One of my goals for the year is to start blogging.  I feel this will be a great way to preserve memories for the boys to look at in the future, and also to keep those we love updated on what's happening in our always crazy household!  So here goes...  OH BOYS!!!

Meet the family!!  I am blessed with the most amazing husband EVER!!  He is the best friend anyone could ask for, the most playful Daddy you will ever find, and an extremely motivated and talented person!  He works for Legat Architects, in Oak Brook and Aidan finds it absolutely amazing that Daddy designs big buildings.  We LOVE Daddy!!

Our oldest son Aidan is now 4 1/2!!!  This seems unreal to me!  He will start kindergarten next year and although he is more than ready for this new challenge, mommy is NOT!!  Aidan is an awesome kid.  He is so fun, VERY outgoing, and a BIG ball of energy!  He is ALWAYS on the go.  He loves all sports, especially baseball, soccer, and football.  One of his favorite things to do is take batting practice with his Papa Gerry on the University of Georgia softball field.  He is definitely a little athlete in training!  He entertains us daily and can always bring a smile to my face......

Maddux just turned 2 in December.  He is definitely his own person and quite the opposite from Aidan.  Maddux is our cuddler and our musician.  He is such a sweetheart!  He is definitely the "gentle giant"!  He wants nothing to do with Aidan's wrestling, and is much more concerned that no one gets hurt!  Maddux loves to sing and play his instruments.  But his absolute FAVORITE thing to do is to ride tractors with his Great Grandpa Gerald!  This little man is precious beyond words and such a blessing to our family....

And last but DEFINITELY not least our little Payton.  Payton joined our family on March 7th, 2010!  He is such a sweet, loving baby.  He seems to just sit back and go with the flow, which in our wild household can be quite the ride sometimes!  He suprised us all by arriving 4 1/2 weeks before his due date, but we could not be more blessed to have this little man in our lives.  He is slowly starting to catch up to his brothers in size, he was by far our littlest baby 6 lbs 13 oz.  We can't wait to see him start to develop his own personality and find out what will interest him and what great things he will accomplish in this big world!!

I look forward to sharing our lives with you all in 2011!  Happy New Year!!
