The DiSalvo Family

I am sorry for taking so long to post new pictures. I have been a little busy with two boys now and have needed much sleep. That's my excuse. :)
God has truly blessed Justin and I with two beautiful and exciting boys. JJ is just about into everything you can think of and challenging us everyday. Boy I had no idea parenting was gonna be so hard. But it's so much fun too! JJ teaches me things everyday and one of the biggest I am still learning is patience. It's truly exciting teaching your children and watching them learn their new world. JJ can say about 30 different words but chooses to grunt for his form of communication. Don't most men communicate that way though? He loves running around and playing with anything that has wheels. He loves outside so much and enjoys being dwarfed tossed by his daddy. He is so outgoing and has so much energy I should bottle it up and sell it. He enjoys being a big brother and likes to help momma by giving Jonathan his "peace of fire" and his blankie. Although sometimes he likes taking it away too.

Jonathan is so content and peaceful! An answer to prayer. He is now 5 weeks old. Boy where does the time go? He sleeps all the time and barely cries. Only when it's feeding time and he lets you know with a loud burst of I'm hungry. We are still working on him sleeping more then 4 hours through the night. He enjoys being in his swing and loves, just loves to be cuddled. He loves lying on your chest too. Jonathan is mister smiley. He is always cracking a smile. Mister happy go lucky indeed. Justin and I enjoy watching our boys grow up. Man has the time just gone by and for over the past 4 years we have done something new each year. Justin and I meet in 2004, got engaged in 2005 and married in 2006. In 2007 we had Justin Jr. and 2008 we had Jonathan. Have we been busy or what! We look forward to what God has in store for us.

Justin Jr. 2 weeks old at his first Birthday party!

When JJ was 2 weeks old, we had a birthday party at our home for Abigial. Robin got her the biggest water slide I have ever seen. In fact it was two slides side by side with a little pool at the bottom. The kids had so much fun and so did the adults. Cheryl held the hose and sprayed everyone as they went down and the guys had baby soap they covered themselves with to go even faster. All the men where having races with each other and seeing who could get the most air going down. Justin I think had more fun then the kids. They really love their Uncle Justin! I of course had to try the slide too, but I waited for all the kids to leave in case I didn't make it up the ladder. It indeed was a lot of fun, but rough on your feet climbing the ladder.

All my family got to meet and hold JJ. He was pooped after being passed around all day. So his first birthday party was a hit. We will have to get him that slide one day so he can experience all that fun too!
