MOPS Harvest Festival

I joined MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) this year and am so happy I did. I love going to the meetings and the other mommies are absolutely wonderful! It's so nice to hang out with other moms going through the same stuff you are while hearing God's Word.
Anyway, last night we had our annual Harvest Festival. Jacson had an ABSOLUTE BLAST! It was so fun to experience a holiday event with him this year since he gets it now and reacts in such a fun way! However, the night didn't start off perfect...We had to wake Jack up from his nap to go and he was crying the whole way there saying, "I don't want to have fun." But all this changed when we pulled up and he saw what lay before him: bounce houses, games, a train, food, and trunk-or-treat. His eyes grew wide and his face lit up. I'd have to say that he had fun after all:) Enjoy the pics!

The Fish Fam in our trunk. We participated in the trun-or-treat. This was my first time decorating my trunk and I didn't have a clue what to do. Now, after experiencing and seeing what other people did I can't wait until next year to go all out!


Army Soldier Jackson and Bumble Bee Macy. Isn't she the cutest little bee ever!


Jackson sitting in the back of the sub. He LOVED that our trunk was decorated!




Mmmmmmmm...yummo! Nothing tastes better than sausage-on-a-stick!


This is Jackson and Jackson. "Big" Jackson was so sweet and wanted to hold "little" Jackson's hand while they waited on the curb for the choo choo to arrive.


Jackson checking out "Spidey." He went through a major spiderman phase so this was like a dream come true! If you ask Jack about his train ride he will tell you all about how he sat next to Spidey.

Oh what fun! I bet it's a fun time now that Jackson shows emotion to fun things! And, your trunk wasn't already "all out"? What kinds of trunks were there if yours wasn't decorated enough? I thought it looked great!

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.
