By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. John 13:35

Harvest Farm






We've been so busy that I let the blog get away from me. So here's a few catch-up posts.


On October 20th, we went to a Harvest Farm to find a pumpkin and have some fun.


Noelle and Dad found the perfect pumpkin, which subsequently rotted on the floor inside our front door before Halloween ever came. We went through the mini-cornstalk maze and a hay bale maze. It was a very nice day with perfect weather.

Isaac's Dedication


On Sunday, October 7th, Isaac was dedicated at Christ Community Covenant Church.

Pastor Dave Scherrer shared our family's commitment for raising Noelle and Isaac to walk with Christ. It was great having Scott home to take part in this special day.


Pastor Art Greco sent this blessing to be read at Isaac's dedication...as Dave prayed over Isaac - Isaac looked him straight in the eye like he understood every word, it was amazing!
may the lord bless you with the same heart
he displayed when he wept over jerusalem;

may your greatest pain in life be the pain
you feel when people reject christ;
may you refuse to ever wear the masks
people hand you, or the labels people hurl at you;

and may the cross you bear for christ be that of a great man who chooses service over recognition.

may these things mark your life, isaac santonastaso;

and may you always cling to the anchor that is christ jesus.



A Visit From Hawaii





The last few weeks have been lots of fun. Scott visited from Hawaii and Isaac was dedicated at church last Sunday.


Uncle Scott arrived on Oct 2. Tony picked him up at the airport in our new 2007 Shelby GT - what a surprise!





Noelle, Isaac and I met the boys at Los Arcos for a true homecoming meal...Top Sirloin Mexican with Green Chile! We spent the next week hanging out, taking pictures and enjoying Scott's stories about the life of a North Kohala Police Officer.
