Easter Preview

How do you explain to an almost three year old that Easter isn't just about bunnies and eggs? Well, I have tried all week to explain to Jack the true meaning of Easter and he listens but doesn't truly understand quite yet. However, he does know about Jesus so that's a good start. For now I will enjoy the fun activities of the holiday.

Jackson LOVED dying the Easter eggs! I thought I was in for a huge mess and tons of cracked eggs but Jack did awesome! He was so amazed at how the eggs turned colors in the dye and kept saying that the eggs were beautiful. A couple days later we made bunny and egg cookies. Again, I was expecting mayhem. However, Jackson surprised me once again and we sat together nicely and decorated our cookies. He had a blast! Then, on Saturday morning, we went to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt. After much waiting and anticipation, Jackson was off searching for as many eggs as he could find. It was funny because he seemed a little unsure and overwhelmed by all the kids at first which is so not his personality at all. But once he got out on that grass he was a happy camper! He got a bucket full of eggs filled with candy (yipee for mommy & daddy) and got to see the Easter bunny. We had a blast! Tomorrow is the big day full of church, lunch & an egg hunt with the Bullard clan, and dinner with the Fish family! More pictures to come:)

The Easter bunny looks a bit out of place. And sadly costumed.

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...

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...

Grady's Story

Grady Steven Fish 7lbs. 3oz. 19 1/2inches April 25, 2009 4:45pm SURPRISE! Actually, I think absolute shock is more appropriate! This was me a week ago...happy at 36 weeks pregnant with not much happening. I thought for sure that I had at least 2 weeks left, if not four. I did, however, frantically run around town that day getting all the things I thought I needed to get just in case. Good thing I am a little neurotic and OCD because it paid off a few days later. I have had contractions on and off since I was 25 weeks pregnant or so. I never thought anything of them because they were so sporadic and fairly painless. Friday camearound and I noticed that I was having more contractions than usual. Grady was still moving about so I didn't worry much. Around 2:30pm that day I laid down because the contractions were coming on a little stronger and closer together. I called Scott to let him know and honestly, to see when he was coming home from work. Jackson was still napping and I wasn...
