Disbelief


I can still remember the first moment I laid eyes on you. Time stood still.


Your daddy is SO proud! I am so blessed to be able to watch him with you. Breath-taking


Your brother was in awe of you then and adores you now!


And now you are this little boy getting bigger by the second and more precious by the moment!
Dear Grady~

One year ago at around 11:30am your mommy and daddy strolled into Baylor Hospital in Frisco, Texas not knowing we would not be leaving without you in our arms. Mommy thought she was going to get a big cheeseburger for lunch and daddy talked about new job prospects. Five hours later you arrived changing our lives forever. Your birth was a whirlwind with lots of laughs and surprises. We wouldn't have it any other way.

When I think back through the journey of having you I get teary-eyed and shout praises to our Lord. Mommy and Daddy prayed for and wanted you with all of our being! Jackson desperately wanted a sibling and God knew exactly the right guy for the job! You were a fighter in mama's belly not willing to give up even then! You came four weeks early big and strong with no complications. Only our amazing God could do something as miraculous as that!

Grady, you are the sweetest little guy making yourself known when necessary. You love hard blessing everyone you come into contact with. As much as mommy doesn't like seeing her little guy grow up so quickly, I enjoy watching you grow, learn, and explore. Your bright blue eyes just soak everything in amazed at the world around you. You are not in a hurry to do anything but just go with the flow of life enjoying every second. I admire that in you!

You have hit some milestones this month taking a few steps on your own here and there, using a sippy cup, and drinking whole milk. You don't seem to mind the transitions you need to make as you grow except you REALLY like your bottle when you take a nap and go to sleep at night. It is very comforting to you. You say "bye bye" actually singing our bye-bye song from MyGym and say "ball." You like to push cars around and play with balls. You have also gotten one more tooth giving you a grand total of eight teeth!

You are incredible, little man. We love you so much and are so excited to watch your life grow and flourish knowing that you are here on this earth to do great and amazing things! May we give to others the love and blessing that you give to us each and every moment of every day!

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Jack, and Wyatt

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.
