New Blog for New Happenings

My purpose in starting this blog is to share with friends and family the little and big happenings in our lives.  Tommy and I want to share pictures of our family, chronicle important events, you get the picture!  

  
A lot of wonderful things have transpired in the month of May, including the birth of our niece Collette Rose Edwards.  Jake and Carly are awesome parents to two little ones already and we know they will transition wonderfully to having another little girl to love.  Here's a sweet picture below of Jake and Ellie holding Collette, isn't she beautiful!  It makes us so sad we haven't seen and held her in person yet, BUT we are SO excited to say "hello" and hold this little precious baby in our arms in just about a month at the Edwards family vacation.  We love you already Collette! 

Papa Jake and his girls <3



Another big event occurred prior to Collette's birth ~ my sister Kristy met her match and married Rich Kilfoyle in Fort Myer's Florida on March 26th!  They said their vows right on the waterfront of Rich's mother's GORGEOUS home - it was a beautiful event.  Not to mention we got down on the dance floor with the entire night with family.  I will say, Tommy was quite the hit on the dance floor - my parents friends were begging him to get out there and show off his moves.  It was too funny, although I will say my husband's got some hot moves.   We had a great time visiting with family as well as meeting Rich's friends and family! Here's a pic of my sweet family from Kristy's wedding day!

The Edwards Family





After returning from their New Zealand honeymoon, they threw a fabulous reception here in Indiana as well.  Tommy and I had a blast as we enjoyed a much needed night out without the girls!  Here are a few pics from the Indiana Reception on Cedar Lake:

Redemptive Threads  AN OLD,  OLD DRAFT OF A BLOG POST FROM WAY BACK WHEN : It's been so long since I last posted.  Like, REALLY REALLY long.  And even before that, I only posted a few times before I ( gave up ) got too busy.  It's hard to know where to start to be completely honest.  I want to get back into updating this space with what has been going on in our lives.  Not for others.  For me.  For our family.  Let's be honest, my memory stinks and it's such a blessing to look back and have my memory jogged with beautiful moments.  It might have the added benefit from keeping far away family and friends abreast on what's been going on with us.  As a warning, this post will be dreadfully long. Olivia Joy After almost two years of loss and heartache our little rainbow baby was conceived.  Each day in the first trimester was met with both sickness and fatigue yet the worst aspect was the fear and anxiety Tommy and I felt not knowing if Olivia would be

Father's Day and A Birthday!

Today (well, actually it was yesterday, but I wrote this blog post yesterday and didn't get to posting it until today :)) is my sister-in-law, Maddy's, birthday!  Tommy and I are so glad that she joined the Edwards family just a little over a year ago and that she is the perfect match for his little bro Mark.  Thanks for being a great sister Maddy, even though we don't see you often, we love the time we do spend with you.  You are a godly young woman who has a heart after the Lord.  Continue to seek Him and He will make all your paths straight.  Only 5 more days until our North Carolina lake house vacation and we are so excited to catch up with everyone!!!  This past weekend we celebrated Father's Day.  I have to admit, I outdid myself.  HaHa.  No really, I did.  Last year was a total FAIL, so I'm glad I was able to redeem myself this year.  A week before Father's day, I scheduled a 1-hour massage for Tommy (for $35 mind you) with a family friend of ours and
