How Devin and Kristin Met
 
Devin and Kristin first met online during the Summer of 2004. Kristin caught Devin's eye with some song lyrics that she had posted on her site, John Mayer's 'Your Body is a Wonderland'.
 

Devin's first email elicited no response from Kristin... his second email got a sarcastic response from Kristin (apparently she'd met one too many creepy guys online and was playing hard to get). But after a third email, Kristin decided to give Devin a chance and was surprised at what a great guy she had almost lost! After chatting online and over the phone for a few weeks, Devin and Kristin met for their first date on July 31, 2004 at Ivy by the Shore in Santa Monica. It was love at first sight... and both were convinced that they had found "the one" after just one date.

After dating for 3 months, Devin proposed to Kristin during a trip to La Quinta Spa Resort in Palm Springs. While they were out at a special dinner, Devin arranged to have the concierge fill their suite with 5 dozen long-stemmed red roses and candles. When they arrived back at their suite, Devin got down on one knee - and, after having an entire speech prepared, could only manage to say "will you marry me?"  Of course, Kristin said yes.

Nine months later, Devin and Kristin were married on July 30, 2005 in the Mulholland Hills of Los Angeles. They currently live in a beautiful suburb called Westlake Village, located between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.

About Dathan
 

Dathan Antone Adao was born at 7:54am on Friday, September 14, 2007. At birth, he weighed in at 5lb 11oz, and was 19 inches long. Dathan was born healthy and happy! His middle name is after his late paternal grandfather, Antone Adams.

 
In his early months, Dathan learned to lift up his head before anyone could believe it... and then proceeded to roll around like crazy - even while he was swaddled up tight! And... Dathan quickly learned to snooze soundly while his sister was crying just a few inches away!
 
These days, Dathan's favorite activities include flirting with the ladies, playing outside, crashing cars & trucks, stepping on any toy he can, and teasing his sister by stealing toys and running like mad! Dathan says that his very favorite activity is doing art at school - he loves to draw, paint, glue & construct beautiful pictures for us. He is often affectionately referred to as "Day" or "Dee Dee", the latter of which Livienne nicknamed him. Dathan has a heart of gold that shines through in his eyes, and is a very observant little man.
 
About Livienne
 

Livienne Austyn Adao was born at 7:55am on Friday, September 14, 2007. At birth, she weighed in at 6lb 2oz, and was 19.5 inches long. Livienne was born healthy and happy! Her middle name is after her maternal great grandfather, Frederick Austin Gilley.

 
In her early months, Livienne's favorite activities included eating and crying! She was a bit of a "princess", and became very upset that we did not hold her every moment of every day! Livienne has always been very expressive, and often gives us bizarre expressions that make us wonder what's going on in that little head!
 

These days, Livienne's favorite activities still include eating... and also smiling! She loves to run fast and jump off high structures, scaring us half to death. She is very proud of riding the "bikes with pedals" (tricyles). Despite her screams that would indicate otherwise, we know that she secretly likes getting teased by her brother - she's a little attention-lover! She is often affectionately referred to as "Liv" or "Ennie", the latter of which Dathan nicknamed her. Livienne loves to test her limits & exert her independence - so we know that she is going to grow up to be a very strong, sharp little lady!
