ROOOOAR!

Scott, Jackson, and I had an extremely fun family day on Saturday. We started the day by going to The Heard Museum of Natural Science in McKinney. The museum has a walking trail and along that trail they put life-size dinosaurs that move and make noise. It was so cool (I thought of you and the kids, Amy)! Jack was very excited to see the dinosaurs on our drive there. He has a dino book and loves reading about the amazing creatures. However, once we got up close and personal he was a little unsure. He was okay as long as Scott was holding him and as we walked away from each one. It was funny to see and hear all the parents tell there weary toddlers to just go up to the giant roaring animals even though you are terrified. Of course Jackson can't stop talking about the dinosaurs and wants to go back. We just may. It was a blast. At the end of the day we ate pizza and watched Madagascar in our media room. So much fun!!!!

This was the only dinosaur Jack would touch.

This is what Jack did most of the time...sit on daddy's shoulders!

Yeah! Finally a pic by T-Rex!





The trail we walked along...very pretyy!

The land surrounding the trail.

These signs were all along the trail. They warned us to watch out for poison ivy and copperhead snakes! Nice! Thankfully we didn't see either!

Uh, I'd be a bit afraid of the dionosaurs, too, I think. They are huge! Looks like you guys had a blast! Jackson is getting so big!

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. ...
