Family, Sweet Family

Lightning and thunderstorms did not prevent the Hall clan from getting to Texas. Amy, Jake, Josh, and Allison landed on Tuesday despite the crazy weather and the fact that they were the only plane permitted to land at that time. We were so very thankful and happy that they were able to get in. Jackson was beyond excited to see his cousins and aunt. His face lit up like it was Christmas!

We had a blast and I ran them into the ground. We enjoyed our time together hanging out at home and in the pool (mostly the spa), seeing a movie, exploring downtown Mckinney, and driving to Oklahoma to visit Arbuckle Wilderness (a drive-thru zoo) and Turner Falls home of the largest waterfall in Oklahoma. We experienced lots of laughter and created some very special memories! We were so thankful and blessed to have them visit. Jackson cried when they left and still asks me where they all went! We are so very very blessed to have such a wonderful and loving family! Enjoy the pics of our exciting Texas adventure!!!

The Fam...Amy, Jacob, Joshua, Allison, Me, and Jackson in front of Turner Falls.


Me and my sweet boy! It was so great to see him so happy and excited with his cousins! He LOVED the water. He would've jumped right in had I let him. No fear this one!

This is what happens when kids are stuck in the car all day. They ran around like wild banchees tying each other to trees and what not. They were hilarious! Jackson was right there with them.


This camel stuck its head all the way in the car to steal food out of the cup holder in the center consol. I wish you could see Amy. She is sitting right under the camel. We were laughing so hard we could hardly breath!


This horse was nibbling the back of Jack's head until he turned around and gave it kisses!


Jackson and the Llama. He LOVED the animals!!!

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.
