Mr. Big Boy


"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever." 1 Chronicles 16:34

Dear Grady~

Seven months have quickly come and gone. I cannot believe that seven months of your life passed by so fast. I feel like it should still be April with us still trying to get to know each other. Yet you keep growing each and every day astonishing us with your development and sweet spirit. You are one very special and unique little boy.

Your hair is quite fuzzy growing in a crazy spikey fashion with a strawberry blond color. One tooth has made its debut on the bottom. Teething didn't seem to bother you one bit. One morning you woke up and poof, there was the little pearly white tooth. You LOVE getting up on all fours rocking back and forth taking a few crawls here and there. Daddy and I keep encouraging you to go but I think we are going to regret that later. You are all smiles laughing and cooing all the time. You say dada, baba, and blah. No mama yet but we are working on it!

You went on your first airplane ride to Auntie Amy's house. Wow! You did FANTASTIC!!!! You slept and played each way. Never once did you cry. You are eating all kinds of foods these days. You like pretty much anything I give you which is nice. I know I say this every month, but I must say it again. We fall more deeply in love with you each and every day. You bless our lives so richly nothing could ever compare. Thank you for your sweet smiles and hugs and reminding us to smile each day!!!!

Until next month sweet angel...

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...

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. ...
