Knee walking

This was a few weeks ago, but she does it every now and then. She is pretty much a walker now. But it is so cute to watch, especially since Xavier never did this.

Pictures from John's Ordination

Just some more pictures from John's ordination. I have more on my Facebook page.

John speaking at his Ordination

This is John speaking at his ordination service on February 7, 2009. I missed the first part where he talks about his parents. It was really nice.

Fire

Dry Ice

This is an experiment with dry ice. Xavier didn't know what was going on, only that the cup was getting cold because of the dry ice.

Happy Birthday Xavier!!!

5 years ago today, John was driving me to the hospital in Chesapeake, VA so I could give birth to our first child, Xavier. Our awesome bundle of joy arrived at 9:49 p.m. with no complications weighing in at 7lbs 9ozs. he was absolutely beautiful with big blue eyes and just the right amount of blonde hair over his little head. God had truly blessed us and given us exactly what we needed.

The last 5 years have been a wonderful and awesome experience. I wouldn't trade one day for anything else. Xavier has been a pure delight to John and I as well as all the others who love this little guy. He makes us so proud to be parents.

We love you, Xavier! May God continue to bless you and mold you into the incredible person you are becoming. Happy Birthday baby boy!
