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...

Grady's Story

Grady Steven Fish 7lbs. 3oz. 19 1/2inches April 25, 2009 4:45pm SURPRISE! Actually, I think absolute shock is more appropriate! This was me a week ago...happy at 36 weeks pregnant with not much happening. I thought for sure that I had at least 2 weeks left, if not four. I did, however, frantically run around town that day getting all the things I thought I needed to get just in case. Good thing I am a little neurotic and OCD because it paid off a few days later. I have had contractions on and off since I was 25 weeks pregnant or so. I never thought anything of them because they were so sporadic and fairly painless. Friday camearound and I noticed that I was having more contractions than usual. Grady was still moving about so I didn't worry much. Around 2:30pm that day I laid down because the contractions were coming on a little stronger and closer together. I called Scott to let him know and honestly, to see when he was coming home from work. Jackson was still napping and I wasn...

Joys and Sorrows

Ok,so I don't really know what to say. All I know is that writing is therapeutic for me and I think I need a little therapy right now. Where to begin? I guess with my doctor appointment. I went in for my routine 12 week check-up only to find out some grim news...the baby had no heartbeat and stopped developing at 10 weeks. No...this cannot be happening...again. There is just no way. God wouldn't allow this to happen again. Yet, it did. How am I feeling, you ask? Honestly, I don't really know. I am deeply saddened, angry,hurt, overwhelmed, fearful, determined, full of faith, lacking in faith, etc., etc. How should I be feeling? What should I do now? Do I sit and cry or do I go finish the errands I need to get done today? I am at a loss. What I do know is that less then a week ago I was experiencing such great joy. I watched my son enjoy the very things I loved as a child. I enjoyed time spent with my husband and with us as a family. I felt my toes in the sand, watched my fav...
