At home he likes to read Hardy Boys and Star Wars books, play Nintendo, GameBoy, and computer games, and scooter or roller-blade outside. In the summer he loves to swim, and goes to a local pool several times each week.

Corey would like to be a professional soccer player when he grows up. Since he is very good in math and logical problem-solving, he agrees that it is more likely and realistic that he will become an engineer.

   92 F    ii. Erin Rae Lerch was born on Jan 21, 1993 in Ripon, Wisconson.

General Notes: Erin Rae Lerch is the daughter of Susan Marshall and Victor Lerch. She was born in Ripon, Wisconsin. In September of that year her family moved to Raleigh, North Carolina.

Erin attended Hudson Memorial Presbyterian Church daycare for two years. Since kindergarten she has attended Green Year-Round School in Raleigh, North Carolina. She is presently in fourth grade.

She learned to read right along with her older brother and was reading Hardy Boys books by the time she started kindergarten. She has continued to read voraciously and usually has books “in progress” littered all around the house. Some of her favorites are the Boxcar Children, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, and the Harry Potter books. At school she's earned more points than any other child in their Accelerated Reading program. She also does well in her other subjects and has never gotten anything less than a “C” (which stands for “Commendable” and is the highest grade they can get until third grade), except for handwriting.

Erin likes going to the Little Gym and has played several seasons of soccer with the YMCA. She also likes roller-blading and scootering around the neighborhood. Even a collision with Corey that resulted in her getting about eighteen scrapes on her legs, arms, and face didn't dim her enthusiasm for her scooter. She also loves to swim in the summer. At home she likes to get out the big box of markers and draw pictures - about half of which are of rainbows, so that seems to be a favorite topic for her.

Erin loves potatoes in any form except mashed, and would happily live on French fries, roast potatoes, and chocolate chip cookies if her parents would allow it.

Erin thinks she would like to be an artist when she grows up.

Unlike his brother and sister, Kyle walked earlier and was much more physically active and coordinated. He started going to the local Little Gym when he was around a year old and it is still the highlight of his week. He loves to swing on the parallel bars and do tumbling such as forward rolls and cartwheels. He is constantly moving, running, jumping, climbing and singing. He frequently performs “concerts” for his family. His favorite performer used to be Raffi, but due to the influence of his older brother and sister, he has recently switched to the Backstreet Boys. He also loves Roy Orbison. Kyle learned about Roy from a DVD owned by his daycare provider's husband, Ken, and now has his own copy of the DVD. He even strutted around the house one day wearing sunglasses and singing Only the Lonely pretending to be Roy.

He has not gone to preschool, but spent much of his time at home with his dad, or with a neighbor, Carol Knight. Carol has a lot of preschool and daycare experience, and has given him fantastic one-on-one care with lots of crafts, reading, and outdoor play. They frequently go out to the observation deck at the airport to watch the airplanes land and take off. He loves to watch any kind of machinery at work and knows the names of all the equipment. At the age of four and one-half, he started reading, and is getting better each day. His current favorites are the Mr. Men series of books, although he also loves the Arthur books, particularly Arthur's Underwear, which really tickles his funny bone.

In July 2001 Kyle started kindergarten at Green Year-Round Elementary School in Raleigh. He is presently in first grade there. During the 2001-2002 season, Kyle, his dad, and his brother and sister all became big fans of the Carolina Hurricanes hockey team as they almost won the Stanley Cup. Kyle now thinks he'll be a professional hockey player when he grows up, and is practicing by playing street hockey on his roller blades every chance he gets. He also learned to ski. With only three days of lessons, he could out ski anyone else in the family, except maybe his dad. His instructors wanted to keep him.

   94 F    i. Kiley Marie Marshall was born on Jul 27, 2000 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

General Notes: Kiley Marie Marshall, daughter of Roger and Janet Marshall, was born in the St. Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. She weighed eight pounds, eleven ounces, and was twenty-one inches long. What her parents remember most about Kiley at birth was that she had lots of dark hair and was the loudest baby in the nursery. Before Kiley reached her first birthday, she had developed quite a personality. She enjoyed being with other children and they adored her. She adapted well to adults, especially the ones who wore glasses, earrings and necklaces. Kiley loved pulling on those things.

The family dogs, Murphy and Lucky, are a source of joy for Kiley. Lucky waits patiently outside her bedroom door for Kiley to complete her nap so they can play together. Bath time is one of Kiley's favorite activities. She enjoys lying on her stomach in the bathtub splashing water everywhere. Another of her favorite activities is watching Mozart, Einstein, and Bach baby videos.

Kiley loves to go outside and have someone push her in her little car. She says, “Go riding” and that means for someone like Grandma or Pappy to take her outside and push her in her car.

At one time her vocabulary was limited to “no, dog, Daddy, and go riding.” She would tell her mommy, “No, no, no!” Now she is talking up a storm! It appears that Kiley will be a social bug - just like her mother. She helps her mother with many tasks and is even helping her do the housework. She takes the wet wipes and washes the windows. She helps her mom unload the dishwasher and the dryer. Her mom puts the clothes in the dryer. Kiley takes them out. She has begun throwing things into the garbage can. Most things Kiley throws into the garbage can aren't supposed to be thrown into the garbage can! Her parents must carefully check the can before putting the garbage out for pick-up. She has also started chasing both dogs. Now they run from her ASAP. Lucky still sleeps outside her door. Murphy could care less.

Kiley likes books, but doesn't want them read to her. She just likes looking at the pages. She enjoys helping her daddy water the flowers and the vegetable garden. When Preston was first born, Kiley didn't pay much attention to him. Now she tries to be a little mother to him. Her favorite new thing is swimming. When her parents took her to the beach, she loved the water. She has to be watched carefully as she will jump in whenever she sees water - even if no one is there to catch her. Her parents are planning to enroll her in swimming classes soon.

Kiley is starting to get an attitude about what she wears. Even though she is only two years old, she gets mad if her mom tries to put something on her that she doesn't like. She and her little brother play well together. She calls him PahTah and calls herself Kiki. Everyone else has begun to call them by those nicknames.

   95 M    ii. Preston Brooks Marshall was born on Sep 7, 2001 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

General Notes: Preston Brooks Marshall is the son of Roger and Janet Marshall. He was born in the Women's Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. He arrived at 8:26 a.m., weighing in at eight pounds, five ounces, and measuring twenty and three-fourths inches in length.

Preston loves his bouncy seat and his swing. His favorite thing is for someone to talk to him. He is starting to smile and laugh out loud.

On his daddy's birthday, he presented his mommy with the best present she could ever receive. For the very first time, he slept through the entire night. He is starting to find his voice and let his likes and dislikes be known. He is getting into everything. His mother can't sweep when he is around because he crawls over to the cord and chews on it. He is definitely a Mommy's boy and his mommy loves that! He is at the age where he wants to see her all day.

He and Kiley both love Elmo. While their mother drinks her coffee and does the dishes, they will sit quietly for an hour watching Elmo videos.
