Reclaiming the Home

Well- there's not a whole lot going on around here to post about. We served in our church nursery for the first time ever yesterday :-) and LOTS of screaming babies. Wow! There were a couple of girls that were good as gold and played contentedly the whole time. There were about 3 who cried the whole entire time and then 3 that cried off and on. Bryson was right across the hall from us and we got to see him a few times. Once when I looked over he was throwing things over the gate out into the hall! Crazy boy! He has been really bad lately about biting, hitting, pulling hair and just being right down mean. I was telling Andrew how I would be horrified if he bit another kid or pulled hair or anything. Don't know what were going to do with him. Aghhhh! One of the boys in our nursery actually bit a little girl and pulled her hair. Anyways- hopefully this is just a phase he is going through. Our pastor is doing a series on spiritual warfare and I thought I would share the message once again in case anyone is interested in reading it. Click HERE to read "Reclaiming the Home".

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...
