The Party

Happily married since December 2004

Joe is a Pastor of Student Ministries and loves to read, play sports/watch sports, read, spend time with his family and read.  According to the kids Kim's job is to feed Stephen and stay home.   She is an imperfect perfectionist who loves her family and drives a minivan.
We look to Jesus Christ for our strength and want to raise our kids to follow his teachings.

Michael Man

Our energetic, sweet, sports minded son.  He would spend every second of the day outside playing if he could.  He loves USC Football, Angels Baseball and watching ESPN with Daddy.  He is sweet and sensitive and takes incredible care of his siblings.

Lizzie Bear

Elizabeth is her mother's daughter.  She has a huge heart for others and loves to share, serve and help out...but can also be a bit of a diva/hypochondriac.  She is fun and silly and has a vast imagination.  She is also a girly girl.  She loves dresses, hair bows, purses, and jewelry...but doesn't mind getting dirty while in them.   

Audrey Pearl

The face says it all!  She is adorable and charming and can almost smile her way out of anything.  She loves to read, color and wear everyone else's shoes.  She is very animated and almost always has a smile on her face.  She is sweet and sassy and keeps us on our toes!

Stephen Joseph 

Stephen is our little heart hero.  He was born with a serious congenital heart defect and has already undergone two open heart surgeries.  He is an amazing little guy.  He steals the hearts of many with his precious smile and big blue eyes.  His life has blessed our family greatly and has reminded us of what is truly important.  You can read more about his story here www.ourspecialheart.blogspot.com
