Justin's Baptism

Sorry, but we are running a week behind on blog time! Last weekend we welcomed a lot of family and friends who helped us celebrate Justin's baptism. It was a beautiful weekend with many festivites. Some of the highlights were Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa Johnston coming to visit from WI. They hadn't seen Justin since he was only 2 weeks old! Of course he's gotten to be such a big boy since then and wanted to show them everything he has learned thus far. He was also blessed to have our dear family friends, Mike & Tracy Clark (and baby James) as well as Teresa Tanguay step forward as his godparents. It was a beautiful baptism ceremony and we had a big party at the house afterward. On behalf of Justin, we would like to thank you for all of your love, support and the beautiful gifts. We love you all very much and appreciate you more than you know. And here are some of the photo highlights from the weekend!

9 month bath photos, Random Bumpness & Mother's Day Weekend-Hawaiian Style!

Justin, aka "The-J-Man", aka "Bump" has been a busy big boy lately so we are a few blogs behind schedule, one being his 9 month bath pictures. Looks like we'll have to get him enrolled in some swimming lessons...he just could be the next Michael Phelps!

Justin is really wanting to creep around the furniture.....look out the windows.....and chew on everything in sight with his 6 incoming teeth.

This was my first official mother's day...If you remember from last year Steven gave me a few little gifts with anticipation for Justin's arrival. That was very sweet, but nothing compared to the real thing of this year! Justin came home from daycare with a gift he made all by himself...a picture of himself with his handprints and the sweetest poem. I cried of course. This mother's day weekend we were in Kalamazoo celebrating all the mom's AND a visit from Amanda & Justin from Hawaii! (Amanda is Steven's cousin/Justin is her longtime boyfriend-We know they're getting married-it's just the question of when! :) )

Here are some picture from the weekend!
