Halloween 2009

We went over to our neighbor’s & Friends (the Wells) for a fun Halloween Party…

Kyle was Jason Voorhees, Sean was a Ninja, & Ryan was the “Scream” Ghost.

Between the 3 of us we collected loot’s of goodies in the hood.

We also wanted to say Happy B-Day Uncle “J”

70's Dance at School!

Burke's Visit

Deer in the yard!

Just love when the Deer walk thru our yard!

Boys Will Be Boys...

11's a big number for us & it's 11yrs!

What’s better than a perfect night with take out from our favorite restaurant on Honeymoon Island?

Engaged at 11:11 on 11/11 - I have been blessed to be married to Katy Ryan for the past 11yrs!

I can only hope we have another 111 years left – ya never know?

Back To School

We had such a great summer…

It was so nice to see many of our friends and family up in NY.

We have been home for a while & getting back into the swing of things.

The boys were very happy to get back to school & see all their friends.

Kyle is in 4^th grade, Sean in 2^nd & Ryan so excited to start 1^st grade.

Our boys are getting big – We are very proud of them!

NY / NJ Trip Summer '09

Cunningham Clan is just back from a fantastic vacation & gearing up for school! Katy took the boys up
to the NY area via the Auto Train & it was a HUGE Success! They all had a great time & by going up
ahead of me they got to see a bunch of our friends up in NY & NJ.

Passing of Gene Sr. (2/3/38 - 6/1/09)

On June 1st Gene's Dad lost his battle with stroke related dementia / alzheimers.
Very tough to think or write about his passing, but we are at peace with it.
His final few years were very tough & I imagine scary for him.
Always wanting to make others happy, he never let it show.
He had a huge impact on the lives of those he cared for.
This poem expresses our feelings very well...


God Saw You Getting Tired

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around you
And whispered 'Come with Me.'

With tearful eyes
We watched you suffer
And saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.

It's lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day
Life doesn't seem the same
Since you've gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong
We seem to hear you whisper
'Cheer up and carry on.'

Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say
'Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping
We'll meet again someday.'

We will miss you, but know you're proudly watching over us.
We will never let go

Spring 09 & all is Fine!!!

Hi everyone...

Again - so sorry for the large gaps between postings. Rest Assured... all is indeed well in the world of Cunningham.

Since it has been so long between posts, I am just gonna keep it short.

The Phillies got lucky & beat the Rays, it was a lot of fun though.

The holidays were really nice & we enjoyed a Christmas Week family ski trip at Ski Beech! So fun to relax with family & see the boys skiing & boarding.

The fall was very busy with School, Soccer & Tae Kwon Do... 

Baseball began in Feb & based on league age, we found ourselves in 3 leagues.

Kyle played Machine Pitch, Sean Coach Pitch & Ryan TBALL.

We have been up at the fields all day (9am - 3pm) every Saturday.

Life continues to revolve around the hectic schedule of 3 active young men.

Baseball is ending just in time for Swim Team & Soccer to start up again.

Another fun year of School is also winding down... all 3 doing well.

Incredible to me that they will be 4th, 2nd & 1st Graders next year...

We have recently renewed our adoption paperwork & remain on track.

It has been quite the journey, & despite the delay we are all still excited.

Lot's on the plate, but it keeps us busy & we love that they enjoy it.

I can finally understand when my parents would say "It goes too fast"

Here are some recent pictures of the clan...
