Two years ago today....

we were blessed with our sweet baby boy Bryson. We love him dearly and are so very thankful to God for giving us another little one in our family. He is by far our most strong willed child- ha! ha! We didn't think it got any worse than Emily. Definitely a challenge sometimes but we have our good times too! :o) He has amazed us with his ability to learn new things. I never would have thought at this time last year that by this time this year he would be able to not only say all his letters but recognize them as well and tell us what sound they make. He also knows all the shapes and colors and can count to 14. He can spell his name and we're working on how to spell mommy. He absolutely loves music and one of his favorite songs to do is 5 little monkeys swinging in a tree. He also loves Elmo and Blues Clues. :o) It has been an exciting year and we look forward to what's in store for the "terrible" 2's! We love you sweet boy!


We celebrated his birthday by taking him to Gatti-town. He was so excited to ride the "horses" that he didn't want to eat his dinner. We managed to get through it with lots of screaming. But he had a blast running around playing and getting to ride the carousel. We took him to Target afterwords to look at TOYS. :o) He had lots of fun playing with firetrucks and lots of other things. His "official" party will be on Saturday so we'll update again with cake and more pictures! There are pictures from tonight on our picasa web album or you can click HERE.

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...
