Beach Day

I know I am going to take a TON of pictures on this trip so I decided to blog while away since we have internet here. That way I don't bombard you with a million pics all at once. Yesterday was a fun day. We started at one of my favorite breakfast restaurants, Charlie's Chili, by the pier. Yummo! I stuffed myself! Then we hung out at the beach house and took Jack to the beach. We took him Friday when we arrived but only to the sand. This was NOTHING compared to yesterday! He was in hog heaven! The kid LOVED the sand and LOVED the ocean even more. He jumped right in and kept BEGGING us to go back in the ocean when we'd take him out! So funny!!!

He made sand castles with Daddy, chased some birds, found some sand crabs (which he thought was so cool), and even saw a seal playing in the water. We never really see seals in Newport, usually just dolphins, so this was cool for the whole family. It felt so good to have our toes in the sand and was so wonderful to watch my son enjoy what I so love, the beach. After the beach, Scott, Jack, and I headed to my parents house. We enjoyed some time with them and then Scott and I were off to date night. Whoohoo!!! We left the kid behind overnight! Can't get any better than that! It was MUCH needed!!!

Enjoy the pics below! More to come...

Looks like so much fun! So jealous. Texas beaches are nothing like that...I mean, where is all the nasty water? Ha! You are going to have to help me get over my fear of open water so I can go soak up some California sun! Can't wait for you to get back so we can hang out. See you soon!

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.
