It's All in a Name

Wyatt Buz Fish


Ironically, I was going to post pictures of Wyatt today before I knew of my grandmother's passing. It is bittersweet looking at Wyatt and this new life while another one ended. Although he was named after my Grandpa Buz, my grandma is such a part of his name too. You see, there is no Grandpa Buz without Grandma.

Wyatt was the most wonderful "surprise" Scott and I could ever receive. I look back at the journey we have been through to create this perfect little family of five and I am in awe! When I became pregnant with Wyatt everyone said it happened for a reason. Well, the reason could not be more clear today. I look at Wyatt and am beyond grateful to our perfect God for blessing us with him and allowing me to name him after two very special and amazing people. Even though Wyatt was created for many reasons, I can clearly see that one of them was specifically for this time. I look into his new little eyes and see a great life ahead yet to be fulfilled and remember the life of my amazing grandma who has touched me beyond measure.

You see, God knew exactly what he was doing when He created Wyatt. He knew that we all needed a new little life to celebrate; a life that will carry on the memory of my grandma, and grandpa, forever. I will always look at Wyatt, or "Little Buz," and remember the love, support, and laughter that my grandma brought to my life. Thankfully she was able to hear him "talk" over the phone and was brought to tears.

I will miss my grandma forever. It will be strange to call her house and not get to talk to her and hear her funny stories and how proud she is of me. But, I get to look at this precious angel everyday and be reminded of the wonderful life and memories that I shared with a very special woman who will forever be held dear to my heart.

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. ...

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 ...

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.
