I Am 2!!!

Jackson had an amazing and very special 2nd birthday. Grandma came to celebrate for the weekend and Jack was very excited. He was a little disapointed at first that Grandma didn't bring cousin Alli but, after a few minutes, he was ok.

He began his birthday morning with two small toys at the top of the stairs from Grandma. Then he got his presents from us and his favorite breakfast of waffles and fruit. We went to Target (his FAVORITE store) to get some more birthday party stuff and then to Chilli's for lunch. He got a special ice cream treat which mostly landed on his shirt.

That night we went to Ghatti Town for dinner and games. Jackson loved his Mac-n-Cheese and running around like a wild man. We went home for cake which he was excited about. He was so excited about his birthday candle that he kept blowing it out. I had to re-light it 3 times.

Jackson had a wonderful day! I was so blessed watching him really understand and enjoy his birthday this year!

The Fish Fam!


Looks like a yummy cake!


Blowing out the candle (for the third time...he kept blowing it out).


Shooting hoops with daddy.


Playing Skeedall...he's say, "1,8,9" and then let go of the ball which typically landed in the lane next to us.


Looking for "buggy guys" with his new tools from grandma.


Taking a break laying in the grass. Birthdays are hard work!


Hmmm...this looks like a fun place to sit!


WOW! This is what Jack said as he opened each present. So funny!


The tools...so, a couple of months ago I bought this cheapy tool bench for Jackson's bday. Let me just tell you...this toy is gold! He played, and continues to play, with his tools. He even passed up swimming to play with his tools!

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.
