The Livingston visit

Vonda, one of my best friends came in for a visit from Germany with her husband Ian and her beautiful daughter, Ella Rose, whom I got to meet for the first time. Vonda and I have been friends since 1997. What a wonderful and enriched freindship we have. Their visit was awesome! Ella Rose is just a sweet heart and JJ would like to take her out on a date in about 18 years if it's ok with her Mom and Dad. It is always good catching up with her. Everyone needs a little Vonda in their life!!

Frank made a true Italian meal and Justin topped it off with an Italian Love cake for Vonda's birthday. We miss and love you guys!

Life's Journey is a story waiting to be told

Our life is a book telling a story. As we turn the pages, life gets more interesting as we go along in our journey. I have learned in life that you can do anything you want to do and accomplish any dream you have dreamed. Trusting in God and letting Him direct you path has never hurt me. Although I have stumbled from time to time, I find it easier doing things God's way.

To be completely satisfied in life is a goal many strive for. I'm glad I have teamed up with the best man ever...my sweet husband Justin. There is no I in teamwork and that's why we get along so well. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves of that, as we both can be stubborn sometimes. I look forward to many many years with him and to watch our son grow and any other children we may have. God has blessed me with so many blessing and I am forever thankful. We are blessed beyond all means with our family and friends, they are truly a blessing to us. Justin and I hope to pass on a legacy to our children that is cherished, deeply enriched and above all, Christ centered. Our lives will tell a story and one that will last for a lifetime.

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!
