The Russo's

Josh was building a box stand for hunting. Hudson was helping and I took pictures even though they didn't want me to. 😉 I want to capture these times so we can look back and see Hudson learning from his father.  He had one wall complete and I had the idea of using it for a picture spot at church. We gathered all his hunting gear and used it as props. It was a fun little project!  Sunday morning   Three generations of Russo men. We are so glad to have Papa as a role model for our kids and the for the time he spends with them.   Some of the church men  I am so thankful and blessed to have Josh as my husband and the father of our children. He is a great example of a hard worker, provider and giver! We love him 💓 Dillon was in town that week and we got together at my Mom's house. She had a snowball maker for the kids and they loved that.  The June birthdays were celebrated too 

We got a FaceTime call around 8:15 pm on May 31st from Jamie saying she was in the hospital. I was very surprised and she took a screen shot! I had to hurry to get ready because her other births were not long. The kids went to my in laws' house to spend the night, so Josh and I could be there for the birth. They didn't find out the gender, so we were waiting in anticipation. Everyone gathered in the room and waited to hear the announcement   It's a girl! Jules Rey Gehbauer, born June 1st at 1:42 am.
