Two months and many tears later....

Here are a couple pictures from our favorite beach, Nate with buddy Kavi and Scott getting a kick out of the trees overhead. Trey never stops long enough to be photographed anymore. The Roth clan has been reunited in American Samoa for over a month now and things are just starting to become routine, not sane by any means but routine. Scott is almost 3 months old and has calmed down dramatically. He established his dominance in the house quickly and with emphasis. Nate doesn't appreciate the attention being taken away and so as soon as Scott cries, he runs interference, either to my arms or Scott's face. He has thankfully only caused bodily harm to him on 3 occasions, all of which teeth and digits were involved. Overall I think he's taken the adjustment very well. Trey continues to do well in school. He's reading very well now and is showing great interest in math. He's still in Tae Kwon Do and now has his yellow belt. This week is spring break and we hope to be spending a lot of time in the water.

Greetings 2008!

Still just hanging out in Silver City, adjusting to the new little one. Looking forward to getting back home to Samoa. (We're taking Grandpa with us)

Trey's creativity at it's best! Some of the candy actually made it on to the house.

The boys with Uncle Dave and Aunt Miriam

Nate's not the baby anymore and is handling being a big brother better than expected. His favorite things to say now are "I hold it?" and "I kiss him?"

We have to get creative to keep the kids entertained here.

Scott's after-bath fro. I thought it only happened in cartoons.

Sweet dreams!

The latest photo shoot

Merry Christmas!

Jay's dream come true.....a house full of boys.

We celebrated Christmas a few days early so because Jay had a flight to catch on Sunday. It was the first time the whole family had been together for Christmas in many years so it was a special day for all. Today Trey's uncles and Grandpa took him up the mountain in search of snow for some New Mexico style tubing. They had a great time, so I hear. I opted for the warmth of the fire.

Scott Isaac December 18, 2007

Here's some pictures from Scott's birthday!
He was born December 18th at 1:42 am after a 4 hour uneventful labor. He weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. He's doing very well and his brothers can't get enough of him. We are so thankful all went well and we have this healthy, beautiful new boy in our family.

Family photos

As you may have gathered from the picture, I'm still holding on. I was hoping to be a little lighter by now but, so is every other woman due at Christmas. Hope to have some news soon.

Update

Hey there Samoa!
We're still waiting. In the meantime, we spend our days doing a whole lot of nothing. Jay arrives soon and we hope to have some good news shortly thereafter. Sorry to disappoint those who were expecting something a little more newsworthy.

We miss you!
