Wake Up Call





Oh Jackson. You never cease to amaze and surprise us! Grady and I were still asleep while Scott was getting ready for work right before 7am. Scott finished up and I heard him looking for Jackson. All of a sudden we hear the ding of the back door being opened and I hear the following conversation:

Scott: Why are you naked? Why are you wet?
Jackson: Because I went in the sprink-al-lers. It is fun going in the sprink-al-lers.
Scott: How'd you get outside? (Scott answers himself) Oh. You pushed your table over and unlocked the door.

Jackson slid his small picnic table over to the door, unlocked the hotel lock and the other two locks, took off his jammies, and took off running. A few minutes later Jack was dressed and in bed with me and explained that his hair was wet because he had fun going in the sprinklers. Then he asked me why they went off so fast. Our sprinklers do a three minute water on each section of our yard. Poor guy only got a quick run through. Maybe I should try a run through the sprinklers in the morning instead of my regular cup of coffee.

Through all his craziness, Jackson is a very sweet boy; especially to his brother. Grady was on the floor today rolling around playing with his toys. Jack got down on the floor with him and helped Grady grab his toys and play. They are so cute together! I love watching them play! Grady just LOVES his big brother!

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.
