Our Day At Carowinds

We decided to go ahead and get season passes to Carowinds since it basically pays for itself even if we only go a couple of times. Memorial Day was obviously NOT the time to go. The water park was so jam packed you could barely move around in there. Every chair they had at the wade pool was taken so it was either stand or sit on the cement. Dollywood is 100 times BETTER! We had never been to Boomerang Bay inside of Carowinds before. It's definitely worth the extra drive to go to Dollywood. We picked Carowinds since it is closer by and we could just go for a day and drive back. Dollywood is a little far for that. Oh-well. We'll know better next time. Anyways- here are a few pics. from the day. You might think by looking at the pictures that Bryson did a lot of sleeping but he DIDN'T! He slept quite a bit on the way there and finally conked out in his stroller for all of about 10 minutes- if that! Crazy kid. If he can't be on a blanket in his crib than you can just forget about sleeping.

Thanksgiving at Dollywood

We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving in the Smokey Mountains! Hopefully good memories our children will cherish when they are grown. We managed to pull off cooking dinner in about a 4x5 foot space called the kitchen! It all turned out and everything was delicious! The kids shot some hoops and Bryson had a good ol' time just running around and picking up leaves while we waited for the Turkey to get done. Later that evening after Bryson was in bed we played a game of Cranium. The front desk had games that you could check out. Definitely not a game I would care to play again! The day after Thanksgiving we headed over to Dollywood. The weather was gorgeous and could not have been more perfect. Bryson was in awe at all the lights when it started to get dark. I think the first time ever he has actually sat in his stroller for a whole day without fussing to get out. There was lots to look at and it kept him busy thank goodness. After that we headed back to our condo to e...

Trisomy 13 - Dignity and Grace in Life and Death

On September 14, 2001 Andrew and I found out we were expecting our 3rd baby. We had done this twice before and I was not that concerned or anxious to get to the Dr. right away. We were very excited even though we had not actually "tried" to conceive. We had also decided we would keep it a secret as long as possible! :) Love to keep a good secret! On October 31st we had our first ultrasound and discovered that our baby had markers for a chromosomal disorder as well as tachycardia. Devastated at hearing this we shed lots of tears and I experienced a lot of worry, anger, and fear at what lied ahead of us. I prayed many times that if the Lord was going to give us a baby that would not live that He would just go ahead and take it from us right then. On November 23rd, I began spotting and cramping but since it was Thanksgiving weekend we waited til the following Monday to go to the Dr. where we found out that there was no heart beat and our baby was resting safely in the arms of Je...
