Family Introductions

Since this is my first ever attempt at blogging, I thought I would start out by introducing you to The Foveaux's!

First we have Rich, my husband and the most amazing father (besides my own) in the world. I truly believe he was brought to us by God. He took on an instant family and it didn't take long before the kids and I couldn't imagine our lives without him.

He is the owner of JointFit Chiropractic and Sports Medicine Center here in Manhattan, KS. He created this company on his own and has worked tirelessly the last 2+ years to make it what it is today. I have never met anyone more dedicated to making sure that his patients see real results. He is the smartest man I know and I have never known a doctor to study so hard to make sure that his patients get the best possible care. He practices with a passion and moral fiber that is lacking in so many others and that makes him stand apart in his profession.

He is more than just a great doctor to us; he is our leader. He shows us a love that we didn't know before him. He has brought all of us closer to God and it is because of his faith and leadership that I am the person I am today. I was lost when I met him and no matter how hard I may have fought, he and God never gave up on me. He encouraged me and the kids to get back into church where we developed a strong fellowship with some wonderful people. It's because of him and those people in my life that I came to Christ again in 2007 and our children love Jesus and speak to him daily. He is hardworking, driven, dedicated, caring, funny, smart, faithful, trustworthy, loving, romantic, and our spiritual leader. I don't think a woman could ask for more in a husband and father. We are truly blessed to have this man call us his family. We love him more than words can say.  

Second on the list is my oldest child, my son Gavin. This little boy is the light of my life. He and I have been through so much together and I feel a very special bond to him because of that. He is the most sensitive and loving child I know. When I look at him I see a little boy who has grown so much over the last few years and what a great kid he has become. I love watching him as he grows and what different interests he develops. He loves Star Wars, Top Gun, and animals just like his mommy and baseball, video games, and being outside just like his daddy. His sister is his best friend and he loves her very much. He is amazing at art too! He loves to draw and color and has a real talent for it.

I have watched this little boy grow up into a little man in just a few short years. Gavin made the decision one day to get rid of the bad people and negative things they brought into his life and embrace the new and wonderful things God placed before him. As a mother, knowing what he has been through, it was so amazing to see him make that decision. I feel like we have done a pretty good job of raising such a loving little boy. I cannot wait to see the man he will become.


Third is my youngest (soon to be middle) child, my daughter Casey. Casey is unlike any other! She is outgoing, funny, energetic, and so full of love for everyone. She makes herself the center of all our worlds by demanding the spotlight. She keeps us laughing with her funny songs and dances and maintains an innocence with the questions she asks daily. She loves babies, playing house, making up songs, dances, and cheers, and most of all her daddy. She is a daddy's girl if there ever was one! Her brother is her best friend and her sister to be will undoubtedly be HER baby.


Casey was very young when Rich came into her life and to me that is a huge blessing. She remembers no one else but him and no love but his. In her eyes he is the one and only daddy she has ever had and ever will have. It makes me so happy to see them together and how happy they make each other. She is an amazing little girl and so caring and concerned for others. We are very lucky to have such an incredible daughter.


Next I must introduce the two 'furry' members of our family, our cats Lauren and Lucky. Not everyone sees cats as members of the family like they would dogs, but this family loves our little kitties more than most. They greet us at the door when we come home, they lay with us on the couch while watching TV and they sleep with us at night. They each have very different personalities but are both amazing pets.


Lauren is a mommy's girl. She and I have been together for almost 11 years now. The attention and love she gives me makes everyone else in the house (especially Rich) jealous, but I wouldn't have it any other way! She has been by my side through thick and thin and no other cat will take her place in my heart.


Lucky is the newest addition to our family and he has taken a very large spot in our lives. He is a unique kitty and is always making us laugh. He loves all of us equally and makes sure to spend time with each of us daily. His favorite things are sleeping and eating which is part of the reason he is so fat! We all have grown to love him very much and it didn't take long for him to become a member of the family.

Last is me and baby to be. There isn't much to say about me except that I am a very blessed woman. I have a wonderful and supportive husband, two (almost 3) amazing children, and the greatest parents anyone could ask for. I am lucky to be able to stay home with my kids and run our household. I have been through a lot in my life but it was all a part of God's plan to bring me here. I am happier now than I have ever been and couldn't ask for more. 

Our little girl, Aslyn Christina Doreen Foveaux, will be born on July 8, 2011. We are all very anxious and excited to meet her! She is a very lucky baby to be coming into this world with so many people who already love her so much. I thank God every day for the blessings he has given us. I cannot wait to see what He has in store for us next!

That is it for the Foveaux Family introductions. Stay tuned for what's next!
