Fond Farewells and New Beginnings

Justin, Sara and Addie headed for the Phillipines and Rachel and Trey introduced Riley Jane to the family. We had a wonderful family gathering to send Justin, Sara and Addie with warm wishes for a wonderful experience. We will miss them terribly, but at the same time, we are envious of the adventures ahead of them.


Riley Jane entered our family on April 22, 2008. She weighed 8lbs. 13 oz. and was 20" long! She's a beautiful baby as you can see! Rachel, Trey and Riley are headed to Hawaii in June and we will miss them, too. We are so lucky to have such exotic places to visit!

Confirmation

In April, Patrick was confirmed at Our Lady of the Fields in Millersville. It was a wonderful celebration marking this milestone in Patrick's life. Brian and I were thrilled when Patrick decided to ask Justin to be his Confirmation Sponsor. In our minds, he was the perfect choice.

Justin is Patrick's godfather and has been an integral part of his life. Justin took care of the basics - making sure Patrick knew everything about about Star Wars and that babies are "chick magnets!" But, more importantly, Justin taught Patrick about life. By his example, Justin has shown all of our children that living by your convictions using your moral compass allows you to live your life with a sense of freedom. It gives you the courage to test your own boundaries because you are aware of their limits.

Thanks, Justin, for being a wonderful godfather, nephew, cousin, and sponsor. It has been an honor to watch you grow into an amazing man. We can only hope that Patrick follows in your footsteps.
