Family Reunion!

We had the opportunity to go up to VA to visit both of our families the first week of July. We had a great time! Here are some pictures to prove it!

Aunt Amanda and Joy

My dad used to ride the VRE. We visited the station and the boys were thrilled.

A train arrived. We got to meet the conductor and even set foot on the train!

 

 Since we couldn't ride the VRE, the boys got to ride the train at the mall.

As you maybe could tell, Joy was the center of attention.  Everyone, even many of her cousins, wanted to hold her. Thanks to their moms, Joy had fun and so did their cousins.

On Saturday, May 25th 2013, Joy Cheryle Fox was born! She weighed 6lb.7oz. and was 20 inches long! She is dearly loved by all of us in her family! We hope you enjoy just some of the photos we've captured so far!

 

Fabulous Mother's Day 2013

I am living my dream, daily! I am so happy being a mom of 2 precious boys. I know I am blessed that I can be at home with them.  I am also so grateful for my mother and for Larry's mom who worked so hard to raise us with faith in the Lord and a desire to live close to Him.

This last Sunday's Mother's Day was really special because it was the first time that James was really excited about what he had made that he wanted to give to me for Mother's Day. He had made it at school several months ago, and he told me that his teacher was making them wait to give it their moms until Mother's Day. So, when I picked him up from school, this past Friday, he was so excited about what he was carrying in this big paper bag. I promised that I wouldn't peak nor ask him what was inside it. I told him I couldn't wait until Sunday morning, and he told me he couldn't wait either!
Finally, here we are on Sunday morning. My boys and I.

Getting ready to open it.  Johnny excitedly watching from behind.

The little heart-shaped "pinch pot" James had made and painted just for me!

Larry and James made a special dessert for our Mother's Day celebration- Strawberry Lemonade Cake.  Johnny wasn't too keen on it- "It's gross" he said.  James helped make it and he loved it. Me too!

  Here is Larry, the man of my dreams, posing in a picture with me.  (Thank goodness James takes good pictures for a 6 year old!)  Larry makes every day "Mother's Day" in our lives together. How blessed I am!
