Impression Session

We went to Fired Up in San Clemente to get an impression of JJ's little feet and hand prints. It was so much fun (thanks Monica!!). I think we're going to try and do something like this every year, as long as JJ wants to.

JJ is 8 months old and Elijah comes to visit!

These little boys first met when JJ was just 2 weeks old! I just can't believe JJ is 8 months old now! Look how much these two have grown. I know they're going to be best buds some day, just like their daddies.

John Jr.'s Baptism

Godparents and Fr. Craig Butters
John Jr. was baptised by Fr. Craig Butters, the same priest who performed my confirmation ceremony and who was a priest at our High School. I was pregnant with JJ when I was confirmed Catholic and Fr. Craig asked us if he could do the baptism when our baby was born. It was such an emotional and spiritual experience. We were so happy to have our family and friends witness such a special day in JJ's life. And we were so blessed to have Bill and Traci Goshen, and Kate Toman and Chris Moriarty as JJ's godparents. We were so proud of JJ, he was such a good boy during the entire ceremony and seemed to be having a good time too!

My First Mother's Day

We spent most of mother's day moving and unpacking but I was just so happy to be celebrating my first mother's day with my hubby and baby boy. What a special day for us moms!

JJ crawled!!

We were so excited to see our little guy doing the "army crawl"! He was going after some packing labels and sharpie marker while we were in the middle of our move. My parents, brother Rick and sister Amy were all there to see it too! We didn't get an pictures of it, but did get it on film! We were SO proud!

JJ's first room

Here are a few pis of JJ's first room. It was a bittersweet move. We are so grateful to be in my parents home, but sad to leave the first place we brought JJ home to. We will always have such wonderful memories of 4111 City Lights.
