Sunday Smiles

Life with a toddler is interesting. No longer can you lay your sweet little baby on the bed or in the bouncer while you get ready. NO...instead you get a crazy little troll rummaging through all your cabinets, drawers, and closets while you take the fastest shower known to man hoping that your little angel hasn't managed to drink any chemicals or escape the house. Below you will find what my precious baby boy did while I tried to get ready for the day...by the way, I'm not sure where Scott was during all this:)

In this pic Jackson has gotten into my mascara. I must admit that I did see him with it but thought that there was no way the little bugger could open it. I guess that I didn't realize that I was raising He-Man. He had mascara on his cheek, in his hair, and on his teeth. Nice!


Now this I can tolerate but I don't think Scott was too keen. Jackson got into my hair accessories basket and began piling headbands on around his neck. I am lucky he didn't hang himself.

Note to self...being a mom to a toddler means that you no longer are able to get ready peacefully. If you want to be clean and radiant, get ready before the troll awakes.

I do remember the days that you used to lay him in the bouncer or thingamabob so that you could shower. Because I'd be over and I'd be scared that he was going to start crying and then I'd have to do something. And we all know THAT would have been scary.

Megan - that is too funny. My friend Noelle has an 18 month old who just did the same thing with the mascara - she posted her pictures on her blog too...but it was her little troll's 2nd time doing it. You would think we moms would learn to put things up...anyway we are still praying for your sweet family! Love ya!

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...

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. ...

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...
