Jonathan and I just got back home from our completely fabulous party at the Dolans' home in Northfield! (FYI--In case you don't know, Diane Dolan is our repceptionist at St. Norbert School! AND she is one of my very favorite people ever!! She also helped me decorate my kitchen!)
Diane's party was complete with water balloon throwing, egg tossing, sack racing, basketball playing, zip-line zipping, trampoline jumping, and moonwalk walking (and crashing!). It rained all morning---and we were all a little concerned about the weather, but it ended up being BEAUTIFUL!
Lots of hugging and talking and laughing--and a little bit of crying.....(okay, sometimes there were lots of crying!)....Plenty of food and drinks. It was such a great day of visiting with everyone! Jonny met a LOT of people--He really enjoyed himself!
At the end of the party, we watched a precious video of St. Nobert folks, the kids quoted memory verses and sang songs......and THEN Diane had the song Auld Lang Syne play---and the kids filled a basket with cards and contributions to the Davis "Adoption Fund!" (Just like It's a Wonderful Life!) It was quite an overwhelming moment!
I have certainly had the time of my life with my family at St. Norbert! So many of you said to me today that God had used me in the lives of your children and family--Words which blessed my heart to hear. But please know that God has truly poured out His grace to us today through you and your great love for us! We are truly humbled at your generosity and kindness to us!
We love you dearly!
Love,
Julie

My First Blog!
Hi y'all! I'm blogging!! I am hoping this will prove to be a great way to keep in touch with all of our dear friends and family from Chicago to Birmingham to Nashville to Dallas to Kentucky!
As of today, we have a little over a week left in the Chicago area. We are currently living with our dear friends, the Panozzos, and will soon be heading to our new home in Mississippi. We will be living with our friends, Keri and Andrew Smith and their 3 precious daughters, for probably a year. In the spring of 2007, we plan to build a home on a 2-acre lot just a "stone's throw" from their home in Mississippi.
Email us to get our address! We would love to hear from you!
