Happy Halloween!

We had such a great Halloween!!! Our day began with a little Halloween arts and crafts party. We painted spiders, made leaf collages, colored Halloween pages, made pumpkin cookies, and played forever! At night we went to Mike and Bre's for a little trick-or-treating. Jackson was OUT OF HIS BODY excited!!! He LOVED going door to door saying "trick-or-treat." I don't think he even cared about his candy. He just liked the experience. After trick-or-treating we sat in the front yard passing out candy and letting the kiddos play. What a wonderful day!!!

Painting their spiders


Concentrating so hard!


Getting his hands dirty...usually not a big fan of that but had fun with it anyway!


Emily, on the other hand, would have painted her whole body if we'd let her. She LOVED it!


Eli LOVED getting his hands painted! He was right in on the action!


I wish I could express to you how excited this kid was to go trick-or-treating. He was freaking out in the car on the way to Gavin's. So funny!!!


Mmmmm...the kids enjoying some yummy pizza before filling their bellies with candy.


Had to have one pic of Jack by himself all dressed up.

The Airforce Pilot and Army Soldier holding hands ready for action...I mean, trick-or-treating. They look so fierce:)


Gavin the Pilot, Jack the soldier, and Jobe the dinosaur


I wish I could express to you how over these kids were of getting their picture taken at this moment. But isn't it precious?!


The two monkeys: Sam and Eli. I could just eat them up!


Trick-or-treating


Not sure about this...maybe it's the candy's doing...


Where'd the candy go??? It actually went into Jack & Tatum's buckets. They stole all the candy we had for tric-or-treaters.


The ladies: Amanda, Heather, Bre, and Me

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.
