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...

Fall 2007
Sorry for the long delay... The Cunningham Clan has been busy!
My dad's health deteriorated quite a bit over the past year & he was hospitalized for a while this fall. Tests revealed that a few minor strokes in his past have left him with Alzheimer's disease, or some form of dementia. My parents have moved down to Florida full time & they have sold the Queens house. Dad is working with a local neurologist & doing really well, he seems really happy & is still able to do most things on his own. With Mom's nursing background she hopes to keep him home for a long time, but it is a tough disease that we are all learning way to much about these days.
Aside from that Katy, myself & the boys are all doing great (even Bailey)! Katy is the best & continues to whip her men into shape. She is constantly on the go & the boys are always smiling when I get home. We are still waiting for our Baby Girl... nothing has really changed there. From what we read on the Internet sites, we are now expecting to travel & finalize the process this time next year or perhaps even into 2009. Still we are very excited & can't wait till she is here with us. The boys are getting big quickly so I will focus on them for a while... After my last post, we only had a few more weeks to catch up on sleep & play around in the pool. We also had a real nice visit from my little brother Jose, who helped the boys get started on their Christmas lists introducing the boys to "PSP" & "MEGA-MAN".
After "Uncle J" left, it was back to school & Sean's 1st time riding the bus... 
Ryan was NOT real happy about that!
But he has one more year at Pre-K & will be riding with his brothers next year!
Here he is saying "Mom, I want to get on that Bus!"
Ryan is in his last year of Pre-K, and the school was short on teachers. We have become close to all the teachers & parents so they asked Katy if she would help. Katy knew she would enjoy it & became the 2yr old 3 day a week teacher. It has taken away some of her free time but the schedule works out great & I can tell she is really getting a lot out of it. Ryan still wants on the Bus though!
Even with school in full swing, it is all about play time with these 3. We still get to enjoy the
beach and practice surfing on our boogie boards (That is Ryan there), We all like to fish
a little in the yard (we even catch one every so often)... It is nice that the weather stays warm down here & allows us to do all this pretty much year round. Though, we cant make snowman!
Then we had Halloween to look forward too, so we went to find the great Pumpkin... The 3 boys
were very helpful in our quest. You can see what they thought of the Pumpkin I liked best. We have a lot of costumes, so when the big day finally came, I was not sure who would wear what. For 2007 this is what they decided. Kyle was Harry Potter, with glasses & his robe, Sean was DK (Donkey Kong if you do not have a game boy) & Ryan was the evil Black Spiderman (with extra big muscles).
The next morning we were on a plane to Aruba for Tara & Adam's Wedding.
She became Mrs Tara Zickerman on Nov 3rd at the Westin Aruba... It was fantastic!
We spent the whole weekend getting to know Adam's family and all of Adam & Tara's closest friends. The boys made quick friends with Adam's nephews & it was not hard at all to have fun on the beaches of Aruba. The wedding itself was beautiful as the sun set behind them barefoot on Palm beach. The reception was a blast with great food & lot's of dancing. Even the boys were on the dancefloor most of the night. Adam is a great guy & we were so happy to welcome him, his family, and his friends into the Cunningham Clan. 
Tara looked stunning & I must admit to sibling bias, but even the majestic sunset behind her could not compare.
CONGRATULATIONS Tara & Adam.

May God be with you and bless you;
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings,
May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.
A few weeks after returning from Aruba, we enjoyed a long weekend at Disney thanks to Grandma + Grandad Ryan. They have been dreaming of taking their grandchildren to Disney since Katy & Mary were little girls. We did the Magic Kingdom, Epcot & Animal Country. Grandad was brave enough to go on all the roller coasters, even the ones that only Kyle was tall enough to ride. Grandma became very familiar with the Buzz Light year ride (hitting that 4x's !) With all the walking Katy had to resort to renting a stroller for all 3 of our BIG MEN... The picture to the right is our proof.
The rest of November was spent wrapping up Kyle's Fall Baseball season, which I was able to help coach again & Kicking off the Soccer season for all of them. Sean & Ryan were very excited to play on the same team & start playing in the "big league". Katy is helping coach Sean & Ryan's team, trying to keep the two brothers from slide takling each other on the field... I always tell them they are on the same team!
Finally, Katy & I hosted Thanksgiving with members of the the 
Cunningham's, Ryan's, Woods', Salerno's, & Hannah's. All together we had about 20 relatives enjoying the day. Everyone helped with a side dish or desert, so we will think about doing it again! We finished our dinner celebration singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sean who turned 6 on 11/28th. The Pumpkin Pie was good, but Sean's birthday cupcakes were the big hit! We hope everyone is enjoying the holidays.

Spring Break 2007
Spring break is now behind us & Katy made sure the boys had a busy week of beach and fun. All is good down here & we hope everyone is doing well. We had a nice St Patricks day but the town celebration was a far cry from the festivities back north (I guess the weather makes up for it?) Anyway, there is really no major news at this point from the Cunningham Clan, so I will keep it short. As always let me know if summer plans may bring anyone to Disney or the Florida Beaches... See ya soon... The Cunningham's
