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!

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

Tuesday Toddler Tales~A Mother's Worst Nightmare

I lost Jack. Don't worry, he has been found but for the longest I'd say 8 minutes of my life he was gone. I was at the mall with two girlfriends and their kiddos. We were all having lunch at the food court when I stepped away to get some ketchup. Jack stayed behind with his friends. I was gone for maybe a minute and a half or so. When I came back he was gone. His chair was pushed in and empty. I began to panic. One friend stayed behind with all the other kids while my other friend and I darted off in oposite directions. Others began to notice our panic and jumped in the search with us. I saw nothing in my direction, not even shoppers. I turned around and started the other way. I got to the carousel where I thought he'd be and he wasn't. At this point it took everything in my power not to faint. I felt like everything around me was spinning. I was so overwhelmed with where to look. I just kept running, frantically asking people if they saw a little blond-haired boy with ...

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...
