Christmas Adventure in Frisco


The Fish Family has experienced not one, but two big adventures this weekend! Yesterday morning we joined the Bullard family and drove 40 miles northeast of Frisco to a Christmas tree farm. Mike and I wanted to relive our childhood days where you tagged your Christmas tree and cut it down yourself. So, we visited the city of Van Alstyne and a BEAUTIFUL Christmas tree lot! The owners live on a breath-taking piece of property! The boys had an absolute blast running through the trees and gathering acorns. When all was said and done, I am sad to say that neither the Bullards or us cut down our own tree. We opted for noble trees that the farm imports from South Carolina where they are native. It was the experience that counts, right?


After we all rushed home and decorated our trees, we gathered, once again, at Frisco town square for Merry Main Street; a Christmas tree lighting ceremony. This was spectacular! They lit the entire town square and the lights blink in rhythm with music that they had playing on speakers. They had everything from fake snow to Santa and real reindeer. We had such a good time! This city really knows how to do things for families!


I am sure we will have many more adventures to come! We are traveling to California for Christmas and are so excited to visit with our family and friends! We love and miss all of you. Our hope is that you are have a blessed Christmas season and an even more blessed 2008!

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold

Monday Musings~You have been called...

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14 ...to pray. Meet our newest addition; baby Fish. I am officially 8 weeks four days pregnant! PRAISE GOD!!!! We saw our precious miracle today for the second time; heart flickering away on the monitor with little arm and leg buds beginning to form. The doctor gave us a great report telling us that everything looks perfect...can't get any better than that. God is so good to us. We are blessed beyond belief to experience the miracle of life once again. Please pray for our growing family and our precious growing angel. We feel the presence of God daily and welcome and need your prayers.
