The Facio Five:): Today

Facio Five

John, Melissa, Christian, Faith, and Zoe We are Disneyland fanatics, and have been yearly pass-holders for the last 4 years. We love having children especially because it gives us automatic approval to be "kids" again:) We are crazy about chipolte, and swear that we need to stop eating there if were ever going to lose weight!!! We are obessive compulsive and you would never know that we have 3 small children by looking at our house. I guess that is a good thing that John and I are both cleaning freaks, I can't imagaine having a messy husband. We both love our jobs and consider them to be a lot more than jobs, but rather our ministries for Christ. Above everything we love Christ and look forward to Him comming back for us-soon!

Today

Wow-The Lord really spoke to me at lunch today as I looked to seek Him, and Hear from Him.
I was reading Philippians...

Instead of saying or thinking about someone who is on your "nerves" take and replace that with putting that person on your "heart."

Who's on your nerves?
Who or what is robbing you of joy?

Pray for them!
Pray for God's blessing upon them
Pray for God's work in their lives
Pray for good things to happen to them

Most importantly know that God will change them, and He will change you!

So with that I will be busy praying:)

About Christian

Born October 12, 2004
Christian is our first born prince. He is inquisitive and very smart. He knew all his letters and sounds at 2 years old! He loves to learn, and always wants to play school (which I love to do), he loves to go to Disneyland and is obsessive about roller coasters (he watches them on you tube), loves to play outside, loves to drink coffee (with flavored cream of course), loves to go to yiayia's house to watch Mickey's Club House, loves picnics, he loves to sneak in mommy's bed to cuddle, loves reading, and loves to play cops with daddy. Some of his favorite foods are feta cheese, chips and dip, corn dogs, and of course junk food and candy!

About Faith

Faith born November 28, 2005
She is our little princess-everyone knows her as "sissy." She loves make-up, dress-up, body-spray (slice of heaven), eating candy, and watching walle! She is very sensitive, but has a very tough side too! She loves playing mommy, her teacher says she is very shy (it takes her awhile to open up), she says Mo for "No", loves spending time with her thea (aunt in Greek), and her yiayia (grandma in Greek), loves her long hair, her favorite rides are pooh-bear, small world, and mattahorn. Her most said words are "mommy I am so so so so hungry." She loves to eat and some of her favorite foods are spaghetti, Mac & cheese, feta cheese, and of course candy and junk food!

About Zoe

Born on October 28, 2007
She is known as the "ZoZo" thanks to her big brother. Zoe means life in Greek and that is exactly what she is "life." She is our sweet baby girl. She loves hugs and kisses, playing with her brother and sister, eating paper (especially toilet paper), she has 11 teeth already, she loves Elmo, doesn’t like her car seat, loves to misplace the phone, likes to play "monsters" with her siblings, spends lots of time with her thea, and is often mistaken to be a boy (thanks to the hair cut I gave her), she loves spaghetti, bananas, and oatmeal!

John

John is an awesome husband, wonderful father, kind-hearted son, caring brother, gracious deputy, and a great friend! He has many friends, and can strike up a conversation with anyone, I mean anyone! He loves Christ-more than life and is always looking for opportunities to share Christ with someone. He loves to play the guitar, but only in front of people who don't know how to play. He loves to sing to the Lord, and has a great voice (although he would never admit it). One time a lady in church asked if he was in a band, and told him that he should start a "boy-band." I was flattered for him, but he was embarrassed. I said, "see honey, I told you that you sang well." He just laughed if off! He loves eating, and has a weakness for cookies and milk. He loves playing STAR-WARS with the kids, going to bible studies, praying for people, listening to Christian music, and spending lots of money on devotional and bible teaching books, hanging out with the guys, goofing off, playing jokes on his friends (he has some great stories),singing in the shower, taking the kids to Disneyland, drinking decaffeinated coffee, watching war movies, digging in drawers at his moms house, going on walks with the Lord, trips to the beach, eating, and shopping (yes, I can't sneak out of the house without him), wants to go camping (but has not convinced me yet), playing cards, and just hanging out with family and friends. Did I say eating? I love him; he is a wonderful husband.
