Last Day at Seacoast!

Thursday was my last day at Seacoast! It was a sad day, as I have been there for 5 years! I got a job there right out of college! It has been an amazing place to work, and the people there have become my family! They have all done so much for me, and I will forever be thankful to my Seacoast family! They all know and love Lily, and that has meant so much. They had a surprise party for me on Thursday, and I said my goodbyes... I mean see ya laters! Thank you to all of you!!! I will never forget you! I love you all!! Keep in touch!

Lily's Special Day!!

Last Sunday was a very special day for Lily! She had her christening! All of our families came up, and it was so special to have them there! We have been so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter! She is an angel! We thank God for her, and vow to raise Lily to know and love God! She is a blessing to all around her and we love her so much! Pray for us as we raise Lily! We had a great day, and we thank everyone who came! Thanks to Granna and Pepe for her beautiful dress! So special! We love you all! Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it! Thank you God for our little angel sent from Heaven!

Lily's Party!!

After the christening, we came back to our condo community party room and had a little luncheon for Lily! We had yummy lasagnas and ziti, salad, and breadsticks! And for dessert... a beautiful cake! (thanks mom!) Everyone had a fun time eating and visiting. Lily got some beautiful presents! It was a very special day! Thank you everyone for the thoughtful gifts! Poor baby was so tired, she conked out before her party was over! Thanks to everyone for helping with the party! It was a bitter sweet party though, because it was the last time we were gonna see all of our siblings before we move! There were lots of laughs and tears! Love you Lily and we thank God for you every day! You are so special to all of us! Thank you to everyone who came up for Lily's special day! You all mean so much to us and we are so lucky to have you in our lives!
