A Page of Pictures

Let me begin by saying that Scott and I are mere amateurs and I actually despise my camera. With that being said, I had the brilliant idea of taking Jackson's three year pictures on our own at 8 months pregnant. I took Jack's 2 year pictures myself at the Arboretum last year and they turned out okay so I thought I'd give it a whirl again. I know I will not have time once Grady is born and I didn't want to do his pictures any later when I am just to huge to do anything.

We woke up to a dreary day and Scott not feeling that great. However, we ventured out anyway and got some GREAT shots! The clouds and drizzle really helped with the lighting. Jackson was amazing! I LOVE taking pictures of him outside away from a studio where he's asked to pose. I also used my picture program for the first time and I AM IN L-O-V-E! I could sit and play with this photo program all day! Enjoy the pictures! They are in no particular order. I think the last one is Jack just being silly.

Hi!
I met you at Michelle's house(around Christmas). Anyway, wow you look great and it is almost time for that sweet boy to arrive!!
I just wanted to say I LOVE those pictures, especially the bridge! What program are you using? My Dad was just telling me about Lightroom. I hoping he likes it better than Photoshop, so he can pass it down to me..haha!
Take Care! :)

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. ...

A Welcome Blessing in a Surprise

"For you created me in 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 A few weeks ago Scott and I got the surprise of our lives! I was home with the kids. Jack was napping while Grady and I were snuggling while I was feeding him his bottle. I had a strange feeling that something was up. I decided to take a pregnancy test not thinking the answer would be anything but negative. As the hour glass blinked on the screen, I continued to play with my baby. Then, the words appeared..."pregnant." What? No way! I think I had to look at the test a million times before I really believed what I was reading. How was this possible? I was holding my 4 month old for goodness sakes! I laughed out loud right then and there and praised God for His humor and His blessing. Scott didn't get home until late that night. I wrote, "Oops! We did it agai...

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 ...
