Crazy times

Man I'm bad at this! A lot has been happening, maybe that's why I haven't updated in a while. The daycare is moving ahead slowly but surely. I can really feel God's calling to lead me to this stage in my life. I can't wait to open and be staying home with Joey every day.
Another update in case you didn't know... we are expecting our second child in November. All I can say about that is CRAZY!! So far everything looks good and I'm feeling well. But this week was a big reminder for me that this baby is totally under God's control and I need to totally trust him with taking care of him/her. One of my great friends lost her baby this week at 7 months along. I grieve for her and pray for peace and acceptance of God's will for her life.
Mother's day was fun, we had some of the family here at our little house. It was a little tight but lots of fun!

Here is a few pictures from our trip to Atlanta...we had a great time spending the weekend with my brother TJ and Jim! Joey checking out the view at Stone Mountain

Two new videos

Joe is getting too big and too smart! Here are two videos of him. The first is of him playing soccer outside with Brian. He loves to kick the ball around much to his dad's delight! Too bad he's left-footed like his mommy! Later after I filmed this video I came outside to see Brian trying to get Joey to kick with his other foot! Sorry Charlie, he's a lefty all the way.
The second video is of Joey playing Guitar Hero with Brian. He loves anything musical and lately he has a huge fascination with guitars. Brian has a few old guitar hero guitars around so he lets Joey play with them. At church Joey plays air guitar along with the praise team. The VonTraps have nothing on the Louzons! Watch out for our cd coming out someday!

Playing the Drums

Joey is so creative! The other morning while I was getting ready, he found a "drumstick" in the bathroom, ran out to get his drum and played me a song while I got ready! Oh the things they come up with!

Talking away!

Wow it's been too long again. Sorry! Here is a cute video of all the fun stuff that Joey can say. Hope ya like it!

FAMILY!

I am so excited about spending the next few days with my family! I really think that is the best thing about Christmas. My brother is hopefully making it into Holland sometime tonight, not on the amtrak like scheduled, but on a bus. Thankfully he did not come in last night though! Bri has to work tomorrow night and then is off for the rest of the week until Saturday! I can't wait! As crazy as things can get in families, I'm so thankful for mine that is full of love and laughter! Can't wait to share stories and pictures! And I would love for you to share with me your family stories too! Merry Christmas all!

Visiting Santa

So we went to visit Santa tonight...let's just say it didn't go so well! Oh well, at least he looked cute in his outfit, although he will probably kill me for making his wear this when he is 18.

Cupcakes

Making cupcakes! Need I say more, it was lots of fun!
