Family Alive: Brian, Kristine, Analise, and Josiah Toone

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 John 4:11-12

Kristine, Analise, Josiah, and I gladly welcome you to our family website! We are settled happily into Birmingham, Alabama. We had another awesome Christmas in the Great White North with the Cardwell family in Wisconsin. Here is our family picture from the trip.

Josiah's Potty Accomplishment (1 comments) posted by Kristine Toone on 2008-08-15 21:31 Just to mark this date... he's 2 years and 2 months old. We haven't even thought of potty training Josiah yet.  Well, I've dreamed, but since we're still dealing with an occasional accident by Analise.  Even though I'm desperate to be done with diapers, I'm not ready to start the the PT boot camp again.Tonight in the bathtub, Josiah said he had to go poopy.  "No, no, no!" I told him, as I pulled him out and put him dripping wet on the little potty seat on the toilet.  I'll spare most of the details, but he actually went a little!  I, o ... continued

Wind Down Weekend (6 comments) posted by Kristine Toone on 2008-07-28 08:38 After the "wildness" of our Vacation Bible School week (which was really fun and fantastic!), we've wound things down this weekend.  Brian had invited the cycling team over for dinner on Saturday, so we whipped the house into shape and cooked up a big pot of spaghetti and a side of italian bread salad (panzanella - toasted bread chunks with tomatoes, cucumbers, and mozzarella chunks tossed in garlicy balsamic vinegar and olive oil and seasoned with basil.  VERY yummy!).  It was a fun evening, but we were in bed soon after everyone left at 8:30.  The To ... continued

Awesome photos of my kids!! (3 comments) posted by Kristine Toone on 2008-07-23 20:49 My dear, sweet friend, Robyn, just sent me some photos she and her husband, Scott, took of Analise and Josiah while we were together for a bike race in Stillwater, MN. We had a fun, crazy lunch at a little outdoor cafe, and Analise ended up riding her little bike in circles around the tables. Robyn & Scott do wedding photography, too, and you can see more of their AWESOME photography at ... continued

Fortunately, the rest of the house is a "pleasant" 80 degrees. Outside is a bit warmer at 99 degrees. ... continued

PASSWORD PROTECTION. For a while now we have shared openly with the entire Internet fairly personal details about what has been going on our lives. With the birth of our son and as our daughter gets older and as we desire to have deeper personal intimacy with our friends and family, we have decided to limit access to our intimate personal lives to only our friends and family. We have tried to make this as easy as possible, but I have included detailed instructions in case you get stuck.
