St. Louis Visit July 2010

Stefani made a trip to St. Louis for a week of birthday celebrations. She arrived in time for her mom's birthday. They celebrated with a dinner at Cannoli's. Stefani visited with some of her former co-workers from Andrews Academy. They had a great time catching up. Stefani was able to see her Grandma Gavisk. She isn't able to travel right now, so she tries to see her every time she comes to St. Louis.  Stefani and her parents had a family day. They went to the Art Museum and had lunch at Schlafly as well as toured their brewery. 
The main event of the week was Noah's 1st birthday party. Stefani was so excited to be a part of his special day. His "Aunt" Stefani really loves him.

Stefani's last day of visiting was quite busy. She went to breakfast with an old friend who happens to be expecting her first child! After breakfast, Stefani was able to get in a visit with The Algers (Stefani's cousin, Jen's, family). They were in the middle of their move to Jacksonville, North Carolina. It was great to get in some visiting before their big move. Stefani sees some beach vacations in her future. The last big event of the visit was a BBQ at Stefani's godmother's house with her mom's high school friends. They haven't seen Stefani since she was a baby.

The trip was very fun. Although, Stefani missed Joshua very much. She feels blessed that she is able to visit frequently. 

God's Blessings,

Joshua and Stefani
