Happy Holidays!

Hope this finds you all doing well after celebrating the 2009 holidays and looking forward to 2010!  I've posted new photos from the last month or so...we've been busy-We start the holiday season off with baking the annual fruitcake for PopPop.  We had breakfast at the Air and Space Museum and Santa joined us, after he flew in on a helicopter!  Simon had his first visit to Daddy's hanger, and we took our annual trip to Zoo Lights with Anita, David and Rory.  And we've also been busy with the typical holiday preparations of decorating the tree and the house, shopping, and baking.  We also spent Christmas Day with the McGuire's, which was also a lot of fun!  Enjoy the pictures and keep in touch!  

We are looking forward to our February visitors -Snavely's and Jerm and Mali and Nana and Pappy's visit in April!

love the Semonsky 4.

We Welcome Simon Charles Semonsky!

Can't believe it's almost been a year since I last posted...oops!  We definitely have reason to celebrate and update the blog as we welcome Simon to our family.  Elliot is enjoying his baby brother...giving him lots of kisses and loves to push him in the stroller.  We are adjusting to being four pretty well so far...although we haven't ventured out much in the past two and a half weeks, so we'll see how that goes ;-)  We were very fortunate to have Marmee and PopPop help us out for the past 3 weeks-after they drove across the country to be with us!  Nana and Pappy were also here for a short visit to spend time with the boys...and us and were also very helpful.  We look forward to more family meeting Simon in the near future!  

We miss you all -

please keep in touch and check out the newest pictures...!

Hope to be better about updating so keep checking back.

love

Beth, Sean, Elliot and Simon

Happy New Year!
We've had a great holiday season and winter break...sad to see it end, but we have lots of fun (elliot and I even got to play in the snow!!) memories and pictures to share! Elliot really seemed to 'grow up' over the break-He wrapped up a box full of his "stinkies" (pacifiers) and we brought them to the baby monkeys at the zoo-and he has really not looked back! I think it's also pretty safe to say he is finally totally potty trained-for all necessary duties! We are VERY excited about that!! He really is such a big boy now!
We look forward to the visits from family that are already scheduled and welcome any new ones....
love ya all
