Ceili Concert

Ceili Rain is a great Christian band that we have listened to for years...even named our daughter after them!! They come to Columbus every year and we have always gone and helped out and have gotten to the band members quite well over the past 7 years! Justin, along with two other guys (Chris and Joe) from Columbus, were asked to open for them this year at their concert...and boy were they excited!! They practiced quite a bit together...even though we were due to have Keaton at any moment!! It was a big deal to Justin to be able to open for them, so we packed the kids (Keaton being only 5 days old at the time) and headed down to Columbus to support their Daddy during the concert!! I know, I am totally crazy for taking a 5 day old down there, but I would have hated to have missed it...it was so neat watching him do something he loves to do and something that was such a big deal to him! Plus...Ceili thought it was really cool watching Daddy up on stage - you can see her watching him in a couple of pictures below, being held by her Auntie Nawna! All in all, we had a great time. Keaton slept the whole time in his car seat, so that made it a lot easier! They did such an awesome job - you never would have guessed it was their first time to play together in front of an audience...even when Justin broke his g-string during the concert, he stayed calm and didn't show one bit of stress or being nervous!!
Below is my baby sister Ashley and her boyfriend Gustavo while we were at the Ceili Rain concert - my whole family made the trip down to watch Justin as well as his dad and Lisa (who we have to thank for video taping the concert for us!) I had to post the below picture - how cute are they?!?! Ceili has fallen head over heels for Gustavo (or Escabo as she calls him) - he is so good with her and really enjoys playing with her!! Love you guys!!

it was fun to go down there and see Justin and Ceili Rain! One day, Ceili will think it is even cooler when she realizes the huge banner on the stage says her name.
