Our Week in Review

We have had a fun week enjoying the Ft. Worth Zoo and a kid concert at the church where I attend MOPS. Jackson has had an exciting week! Here are a few pictures from our adventures. Enjoy!

All the kiddos. Cheese!

We got stuck inside the penguin exhibit because it started down-pouring. This is Texas:) Anyway, there were two penguins that kept swimming back and forth playing with the kids. They were so funny!

Jack and Gavin being safe holding hands as they walk through the zoo!

THe 4 kiddos:Jackson, Caden, Sydney, and Gavin watching the monkeys

Jackson petting the fake elephant. I think he was more impressed with this little guy than the actual elephants!

This was so cool. We went into an area filled with birds with a stick with seeds on it. The birds flew all around us and landed on our arms and hands. The kids were laughing so hard!

Sydney cracking up at all the birds on her!

The boys loving the birds and cracking up!

Swinging like a big booy!

Checking out his shadow. I explained to him that he has a shadow and he was intrigued the rest of our time at the park.

Smiling at mommy through the planets.

Rockin' out at the Kidz Kingdom concert.

Dancing the night away at his concert:)

Loving on baby Claire, my friend, Michelle's, baby. He was so sweet with her! It was precious!

I made eggs for us this morning and this is what they formed when I cracked them in the pan. Pretty cheesey that I took a pic but it was funny that the eggs formed a smiley face:)

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...

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. ...

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...
