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!

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...

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...

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. ...
