Sunday Smiles

Life with a toddler is interesting. No longer can you lay your sweet little baby on the bed or in the bouncer while you get ready. NO...instead you get a crazy little troll rummaging through all your cabinets, drawers, and closets while you take the fastest shower known to man hoping that your little angel hasn't managed to drink any chemicals or escape the house. Below you will find what my precious baby boy did while I tried to get ready for the day...by the way, I'm not sure where Scott was during all this:)

In this pic Jackson has gotten into my mascara. I must admit that I did see him with it but thought that there was no way the little bugger could open it. I guess that I didn't realize that I was raising He-Man. He had mascara on his cheek, in his hair, and on his teeth. Nice!


Now this I can tolerate but I don't think Scott was too keen. Jackson got into my hair accessories basket and began piling headbands on around his neck. I am lucky he didn't hang himself.

Note to self...being a mom to a toddler means that you no longer are able to get ready peacefully. If you want to be clean and radiant, get ready before the troll awakes.

I do remember the days that you used to lay him in the bouncer or thingamabob so that you could shower. Because I'd be over and I'd be scared that he was going to start crying and then I'd have to do something. And we all know THAT would have been scary.

Megan - that is too funny. My friend Noelle has an 18 month old who just did the same thing with the mascara - she posted her pictures on her blog too...but it was her little troll's 2nd time doing it. You would think we moms would learn to put things up...anyway we are still praying for your sweet family! Love ya!

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.
