I Am 2!!!

Jackson had an amazing and very special 2nd birthday. Grandma came to celebrate for the weekend and Jack was very excited. He was a little disapointed at first that Grandma didn't bring cousin Alli but, after a few minutes, he was ok.

He began his birthday morning with two small toys at the top of the stairs from Grandma. Then he got his presents from us and his favorite breakfast of waffles and fruit. We went to Target (his FAVORITE store) to get some more birthday party stuff and then to Chilli's for lunch. He got a special ice cream treat which mostly landed on his shirt.

That night we went to Ghatti Town for dinner and games. Jackson loved his Mac-n-Cheese and running around like a wild man. We went home for cake which he was excited about. He was so excited about his birthday candle that he kept blowing it out. I had to re-light it 3 times.

Jackson had a wonderful day! I was so blessed watching him really understand and enjoy his birthday this year!

The Fish Fam!


Looks like a yummy cake!


Blowing out the candle (for the third time...he kept blowing it out).


Shooting hoops with daddy.


Playing Skeedall...he's say, "1,8,9" and then let go of the ball which typically landed in the lane next to us.


Looking for "buggy guys" with his new tools from grandma.


Taking a break laying in the grass. Birthdays are hard work!


Hmmm...this looks like a fun place to sit!


WOW! This is what Jack said as he opened each present. So funny!


The tools...so, a couple of months ago I bought this cheapy tool bench for Jackson's bday. Let me just tell you...this toy is gold! He played, and continues to play, with his tools. He even passed up swimming to play with his tools!

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...
