Springtime Already???

Ah, open the windows, breath in the fresh air, enjoy the sunshine, and get in your closet. WHAT? Get in my closet? Already? Geesh! Well, it seems that it is that time of year again in Texas. We had our first big storm of the season and all wound up in the closet around 9:30pm last night. I actually didn't take this storm as seriously just because they had been talking it up all day and nothing was happening. However, I was mistaken.

I was in bed enjoying some peace and quiet and a little OC Housewives when the wind started picking up. I thought, "Hmmm, might as well flip to see if the news is showing anything." When I turned it on there was a tornado warning one county over and the little spinning yellow circle was headed our way. It's never good to see the spinning yellow circles on the radar heading toward you...lol. Anyway, I went upstairs to tell Scott that we may have a warning and then our sirens went off. So, he got Jack and I grabbed the computer and some other stuff and into the closet we went. I guess we needed some extra family bonding time last night:)

The storm was loud but passed quickly. Then total silence. I always wonder if the storm has passed or I am in the middle of the tornado when that happens. It's just so weird that it can be so loud and then so quiet. We were in the closet for about ten minutes and then all was good. We came out, the skies cleared, and then we had to put a toddler back to bed. Ha! That's funny. Poor Jackson was so tired and confused when we went to get him but he did finally go back to sleep. Hopefully this will be our first and last visit to the closet for the season!

I hear ya! We were at Tyron's baskeball game when our sirens went off. We all had to pack into the foyer of the gym. Crazy weather. It's awfully early in the year for such bad weather. I agree, maybe this will be the only bad, bad weather we get!

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.
