"A Fiesty Moment"

I love this girl......Tonight after her bath time she walks into the kitchen looking very similar to this photo(I forgot to take the shot tonight).  She had on mama's knee socks and instead of tennis shoes she was wearing my crocs(yes I have a pair).  She thought she was too cute(and she actually was).  She looked at me and said, "It is time for me to go to bed now.  Can you put me to bed?"  What more could a mom ask for than a child that DESIRES bedtime.  Now, this doesn't happen every night, but she does love her princess sleep and I am thankful!  

Well, here you are Little Bit.  If only I knew how to rotate the pic to see your profile better.  Yesterday, I went to our 38week appointment and the Dr was so kind to let me have a "viewing."  It is hard to believe you will enter our life in less than 9 days.  I want you to know how much you have been prayed for and loved from the beginning.  This has been a season of "clinging" to Jesus and holding onto HIS promises for you.  We have struggled with anxiety and fear,  but have come to realize that JESUS is truly the only one that can give us PEACE.

"They will keep in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on HIM."  Isaiah 26:3

The doctor is saying you are a BIG baby for this Mama.  Yesterday, we could see some chunky cheeks and the ultrasound tech could not get over how much HAIR....Yes, I think you got your daddy's hair which a GREAT thing.  So, stay in there a few more days.  We will enjoy life with just Fiesty and Flash, but look so forward to the day you enter this world.  My prayer is that you will always know the LOVE of your CREATOR!  

SWIM LESSONS

The season is NEAR and Flash needs to learn to SWIM to help mama out this summer.  We had our first lesson and I "failed" as a mother and bought the CHEAP swim goggles.  Needless to say, our swim coach, Mrs. Paige, didn't put up with the "cheap" ones.  So, it was off to Homewood Sporting Goods.  Flash picked out the COOL green/blue goggles and we got to wear them home.  Shhhhh but Fiesty was given the "not so nice" ones.  We have had some GREAT bath times this week with our new goggles and even worn them the BED!  

We love Char Char

DOUBLE TROUBLE(my two favorite 2 year olds....

Happy Valentines DAY!!

TWO WEEKS!!!

It is hard to believe that TWO weeks from today we will meet our "Little Bit."  Little Bit is moving like crazy in mommy's belly and I think everyday she/he might be just ready to arrive.  We are all making bets on the "sex" of this baby and I look forward to that day that we know.  I can get emotional thinking about these past SIXTY weeks and all that Jesus has taught me.  I am learning that HIS timing is perfect and there is beauty in the WAIT!  It is a MIRACLE to think all the longing and waiting is about to be over and let the CHAOS begin!  Little Bit, we love you and oh how we have prayed for you!  Keep growing and we will see you two weeks from today!  

A visit from Charlotte

I am late in posting this, but a few weeks ago we had a some of our FAVORITE visitors..Mama and Papa. It was a special weekend in the life of our daddy.  He is now an elder at our church.  Sunday was a great day as he was installed in front of the congregation.  Daddy and I both are amazed at our Jesus redeems and uses us in HIS body.  Mama and Papa were sweet to come for the weekend.  We did many fun things and they are always so sweet to read us our favorite books.  Thanks for coming and we look forward to seeing you in TWO weeks when this baby arrives.  

We got to eat our special meal in the dining room

They always bring presents and brought us a nursery rhyme Mother Goose

"I just think I SO CUTE!"
