Who needs therapy...Jack's Room Part 1

Who needs a psychologist to tell all your sorrows too when you can drown them out in a painting session??? That's just what I did! Saturday was a beautifully warm day in Texas and I enjoyed the beauty and peace by opening the window and painting Jackson's room. Can I just say that this was SO refreshing and much needed! I have disliked his room decor for a while now and just haven't done anything with it...until now! I figured since I don't have a nursery to design, just yet, Jack can reap the benefits of his mommy's inner teacher creativity that has been brewing inside me since I quit and is dieing to get out! His nursery was safari animals back in California and I have always liked the safair theme. However, once he went to a big boy bed it was difficult to find cute animal bedding. So, I got him simple striped bedding that will last as he gets older and decided to spice up his walls. The room is by no means done yet. I still have to hang the chair rail, add some cool black and white close-up pics of some animals Bre took at Arbunkle Wilderness (a drive-thru zoo where animals come up to your car), and Bre is going to paint a jeep above his bed (I know, she rocks!!!). Here is what I have done so far...enjoy the pics and stay tuned for more!

I painted a snake above his closet and a tree in the corner. Scott always wanted me to paint a "safari" looking tree so I tried my best copying one off of the Lion King dvd case:)


The jeep is going to be painted above his bed. I am so excited!!!

The room looks awesome! I've been trying to find something cute to do in Sadie's room - are you looking for a job? Seriously, you did great! I bet Jackson loves it!

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.
