MOPS Harvest Festival

I joined MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) this year and am so happy I did. I love going to the meetings and the other mommies are absolutely wonderful! It's so nice to hang out with other moms going through the same stuff you are while hearing God's Word.
Anyway, last night we had our annual Harvest Festival. Jacson had an ABSOLUTE BLAST! It was so fun to experience a holiday event with him this year since he gets it now and reacts in such a fun way! However, the night didn't start off perfect...We had to wake Jack up from his nap to go and he was crying the whole way there saying, "I don't want to have fun." But all this changed when we pulled up and he saw what lay before him: bounce houses, games, a train, food, and trunk-or-treat. His eyes grew wide and his face lit up. I'd have to say that he had fun after all:) Enjoy the pics!

The Fish Fam in our trunk. We participated in the trun-or-treat. This was my first time decorating my trunk and I didn't have a clue what to do. Now, after experiencing and seeing what other people did I can't wait until next year to go all out!


Army Soldier Jackson and Bumble Bee Macy. Isn't she the cutest little bee ever!


Jackson sitting in the back of the sub. He LOVED that our trunk was decorated!




Mmmmmmmm...yummo! Nothing tastes better than sausage-on-a-stick!


This is Jackson and Jackson. "Big" Jackson was so sweet and wanted to hold "little" Jackson's hand while they waited on the curb for the choo choo to arrive.


Jackson checking out "Spidey." He went through a major spiderman phase so this was like a dream come true! If you ask Jack about his train ride he will tell you all about how he sat next to Spidey.

Oh what fun! I bet it's a fun time now that Jackson shows emotion to fun things! And, your trunk wasn't already "all out"? What kinds of trunks were there if yours wasn't decorated enough? I thought it looked great!

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...
