Tuesday Toddler Tales

We saw Santa...again. Santa will definitely know what Jack wants for Christmas!

I have three stories so bear with me. I couldn't choose a story for this week. I swear I should start writing a book. This kid can make me millions!!!

Story 1: A few days ago Jackson watched a Christmas episode of "My Friends Tigger and Pooh." On the show, Winnie the Pooh licked the North Pole only to find that it was one big candy cane. Well, on Sunday night, Scott, Jackson, and I went on a train ride called The Polar Express. Outside the event there were poles decorated in white and red like candy canes. Every time Jackson came up to one of the poles he would lick it. Scott and I were laughing and freaking out all at once! Gross but funny! Good thing we weren't getting our freeze Sunday or the kid would still be stuck there!

Story 2: This is an update on our sleep deprivation. Jackson slept through the night last night, stayed in his bed the ENTIRE time, and did not wake up until 9am! Wahoo! And, the only reason I knew he was awake was because I was in the guest room right below his room and I could hear his little feet pitter-pattering around. I expected to find him in some sort of mess but when I can in he had a HUGE pile of books next to him and he was reading. Oh my gosh! I seriously thought I was having the best dream of my life! Thank goodness for Christmas miracles!

Story 3: We were driving home today from our fun playdate and Jackson asked me for a cupcake. So, I handed him the chocolaty delight and he went to town (thanks Missy). I looked in the mirror and his face was covered in chocolate. He informed me that he was done and he ate the trash to. "What? The trash? What are you talking about?" Apparently he had eaten the paper wrapping on the outside of the cupcake. He informed me that it was in his belly. The kid did tell me he was hungry.

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.
