Welcome to our page!!! We decided to create a blog to keep family members up-to-date about our newest addition to the family ~ Arya Nicole Hurley. John is currently enrolled at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary College and just last year graduated from Franciscan Univeristy of Steubenville. He is employed at Lincoln Avenue United Methodist Church as the Youth Pastor and also works full time at Fox Run Hospital. CiJi is a stay at home mom to their bundle of joy.

Long Time No Post

Well its been a long time since we posted anything so I thought I would give whoever actually reads this an update....Well Arya is growing like a weed!!! Shes standing and crawling and has 3 teeth (2 on bottom and one on top). She has an awesome personality...She's a little clown---she knows when your laughing at her and she knows how to make you laugh---shes awesome...
Shes still a skinny-tall little thing, but she is getting some more hair (not much, but some).

John is still driving back and forth from where we are staying in Mt. Pleasant to school in Pittsburgh. He seems to like school for the most part---of course he finds things that he disagrees with, but mostly he likes it. He's still working for Fox Run and LAUMC as the Youth Pastor. We got some hopeful news not that long ago from our Pastor at church---John is eligible for candidacy for the church starting in January of 2008---which means that starting in January he will be eligible to student pastor a church!!! Which hopefully means a job as a Pastor for John, and well --- a parsnage for us!!! Hes excited and should be able to start all the paperwork in the upcoming months so it will be done by January!!! We are sad that we may not be going to church at LAUMC or be able to be involved with the Youth there, but this is a huge stepping stone for us!!! We are very excited!!!

As for me, well I'm still a stay at home mommy --- which I wouldn't trade for the world!!! I've been helping my mother-in-law with Erin's baby shower!!! Fun and Exciting!!! This also means that I get to talk to Aunt Debbie a good bit---because shes awesome and is helping out tremendously!!! Sweet!!!

So pretty much everything is going good!!! Hope all is well your way...God Bless and Take Care---Always!!!

Well just an update to let everyone know that we will be gone June 8th through the 15th---going to Myrtle Beach!!! WoooHooo!!! We will get back on the 15th though so we will make it to the reunion on Saturday!!! And John will actually be awake because he won't be just getting home from work---so you'll get to see more than just his eyelids!!! We can't wait!!!

Arya Drinks From A Cup


Arya loves to drink from cups now!!! She refuses to try a sippy cup and tries to take the lids off of them...Shes only drinking water from the cup right now (there serisously wasn't a milkshake in that DQ cup) but she loves every sip of it...

Arya Ate Cereal



On March 26th at around 8pm, Arya ate rice cereal for the first time --- and it was with a spoon. She did really good. It was funny to watch her try to figure out how to do it. We got it all on video for everyone to see too!!! Shes growing up too fast for us. Also on the 27th, she drank a lil water from a sippy cup---way way way to fast!!!!
