Tuesday Toddler Tales~Who Are You?

Jackson got a haircut yesterday (I'll post a pic later. He's sleeping right now.) and all I could do was look at him and wonder when he got so big. We were at Nordstrom today and the make-up lady was having a full conversation with him. I didn't have to translate the babble for her or help him. He just talked away. I LOVE what stage Jackson is at right now. Yes, he is "testing his limits" trying to see where his freedoms and control lies, but he is so much fun. I just cannot believe what a little man he is becoming. It is incredible!

Being pregnant I keep having crazy pregnancy dreams. All of you who have been pregnant before know what I am talking about. Anyway, anytime I dream about Grady or a baby they all look like Jackson did when he was itty bitty. Even though I love my "little adult" I cannot help but get a little teary-eyed that he no longer has those sweet baby toes, or makes his "duck face" when he stretches, or snuggles against my chest after his morning feeding. He is my precious boy and sometimes I miss the little baby he once was. There is just something magical about a mother and her son.

Oh, I know what you mean. I was just thinking the same thing about Andrew. I was rocking him for his nap and his toes were hitting the wall because his legs are so long they hang way over the arm of the chair. It just seems like yesterday when his whole body fit in my arms.

I hear ya friend. Its surreal how much they change over what seems to be such a short period of time. It makes us sound like our parents who talk about how fast life passes you by. Just think, Jack will be three, Gavin will be four, ELijah will be two and lil Grady will come greet us all this year!!!!!

I know exactly what you mean... Even now that I have another bitty, I still miss the baby C sometimes... She's just growing up so fast. And, not even to mention how quickly that littlest one is growing - someone's gotta tell her to stop it!

I look at Grace everyday and wonder how did she get to be so big. It is truely amazing how they just overnight turn into this little person and aren't a bitty bitty anymore. Makes me kinda sad and kinda happy all together in the same moment. Hope you are feeling good!

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. ...

Tuesday Toddler Tales~A Mother's Worst Nightmare

I lost Jack. Don't worry, he has been found but for the longest I'd say 8 minutes of my life he was gone. I was at the mall with two girlfriends and their kiddos. We were all having lunch at the food court when I stepped away to get some ketchup. Jack stayed behind with his friends. I was gone for maybe a minute and a half or so. When I came back he was gone. His chair was pushed in and empty. I began to panic. One friend stayed behind with all the other kids while my other friend and I darted off in oposite directions. Others began to notice our panic and jumped in the search with us. I saw nothing in my direction, not even shoppers. I turned around and started the other way. I got to the carousel where I thought he'd be and he wasn't. At this point it took everything in my power not to faint. I felt like everything around me was spinning. I was so overwhelmed with where to look. I just kept running, frantically asking people if they saw a little blond-haired boy with ...

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...
