Luke's Baptism 3/6

 A few weeks ago we had the sweetest Sunday morning for Luke's baptism. 

It is always the sweetest seeing Dad get to baptize his grandchildren. Luke makes for his fourth grandchild baptism and it never gets old seeing this special moment take place. 

I think he was excited to get in his baptismal gown that Mimi made. It's such a special gown made with some of Mom's tatting from her family line. 

The Jussely family, ready for the big morning!

So, Aaron & Blair were talking about if James would come on the stage with them or not so when it got close to time, Aaron had him come to the front row with them and the following is what happened.

He wanted some solo time and while he didn't make it to the stage with the family--he gave us the funniest, best laugh that I've had in a while. That little mischievous face!

Someone didn't want to be in the picture...at first!

Ann Hatten LOVES some "Baby Luke". I mean, every time she's around him she wants to hold him, kiss him, talk to him, so, so cute. 

Praise The Lord for His faithfulness from generation to generation. 

We are praying that there’s never a day sweet Luke doesn’t know the vast and deep love The Lord has for him and pray that Luke will seek Him all the days of his life!

 Little Luke, welcome to the world little buddy!

In September, Jason and I welcomed another little nephew into our family and it was such a sweet and exciting time. He is the sweetest little bundle and it has been so cute watching James becoming a big brother! 

With both Luke and Bennett, it has been a bit sad that we haven't been able to wait at the hospital and meet them as soon as we could. But man, when we're finally able to get our hands it was the sweetest moment. 

James giving his brother some love. 

And last but not least, I have to share this precious treasure of a picture from Charlotte Stringer. Look at this family of four! It has been the absolute sweetest thing watching my siblings become parents. I love aunt life and am incredibly thankful for all the little treasures we get to love! 

Aaron & Blair's Diaper Drop 6/5

This cutie little family has another little Jussely boy coming in September!

Blair's friends threw her a drive-by diaper drop and it was precious. 

Big Brother, James looking cute as can be! I am sure he doesn't know what's coming but, he is going to be the best, best big brother and I know he will love having a little buddy to play with and grow up with. 

Aunt Ellen and Uncle Jason cannot wait to meet you sweet, little, baby! 

James is ONE! (1/30)

 Last weekend, we celebrated "baby James" who's not so much a baby anymore since he's one!

We had such a fun time and Blair had the cutest theme with, "this really is my first rodeo"--meaning, western, cowboy, horses, the whole nine yards and it was precious. 

The decorations were so precious and James was the cutest little cowboy you've ever seen!

The birthday boy and his Daddy--looking mighty dapper!

Wanted: for being the cutest cowboy at the party.

Yes...I went there--LOL!

Look. At. That. Smile!

He didn't dig in like I thought he might but, he was so stinking cute pinching off little bites.

He wasn't too sure what to think.

And this one cracks me up--it's like the sugar hit him all at once and WHAM! 

Look at that smile! He has the sweetest smile that lights up his whole, entire face and it makes me melt. 

James, your Uncle Jason and I love you so incredibly much and we are so, so thankful for the last year with you around. You bring joy and light into the Jussely crew. We can't wait to see what year two brings as we watch you grow and change even more!
