I'm walking!!!

Little Miss has been trying to walk for a few weeks now but has always reverted back to crawling. Well today I noticed that she was doing so much more walking than normal. By the afternoon she was mainly walking! Granted it's slow and stiff but she is walking! It's a little dark but hopefully you can see her! Here's a video.

A Celebration

Today we had a busy day! Actually it's been a busy week and I shouldn't even be up doing this right now but I wanted to let you all see how Brother's special day went!

It began with a Birthday serinade from me and his sisters...he didn't like it! We woke him up with our singing and he cried! I hope it wasn't from the sound!


We did some school work and then went to meet Daddy for pizza at Cici's. Check out our photos!

After that we took Biggest Sister to a Doctor's appointement...then, on to the special part! Our children are always asking to go to Chuck E. Cheese but Daddy and I think it's WAAAAAY overpriced so we never go!


Well as we were driving back from Charlotte we got off at the exit and turned toward the Cheese. We could hear the girls in the back begin to whisper excitedly! As we got closer the excitement grew a little louder! We turned into the resturant section where the Cheese is and in Daddy fashion as the whispers got more excited he drove right passed the Cheese and instead went toward the Olive Garden. You could hear the excitment drain from their voices very quickly!


Then Daddy turned around...made his way back toward the much coveted resturant and then...oh joy of joys he turns into the parking lot! The kids were shrieking with excitement! "You're the best parents ever! Biggest shouts! (Are they deprived?)

Enjoy some pictures! And thank you to the family for blessing this boy with some wonderful presents! He loves them all!!!

Excited about Chuck E. Cheese

Still excited!!

Don't remember the name but they loved this ride!

Opening his presents.

Water guns! He's wanted these all summer!

Happy birthday Brother~

It's hard to believe that only 4 years ago the Lord blessed us with our only boy! It's so easy to remember the details! From leaving the girls with some dear friends to getting to the hospital and waiting for what seemed like hours for the epidural. (Actually it was only an hour or two but it felt like an eternity! I'm not good with pain!) He came so fast, was so much bigger than expected and so sweet! He was great, healthy and strong! He peed on the nurse, already had a nice head of hair and a sweet face.
We took him home a couple of days later and he has made us laugh every day! Brother is a character! Always saying silly things, loving juice and his sisters! He was our only thumb sucker and loved his blankie! He had the craziest scoot! He walked late. He was 14 months old and it was Thanksgiving. Grammy, Grandpa, Auntie Jennifer and Uncle Michael were visiting...they got him up and made him walk and walk he did!

He was a happy baby, with that handsome smile and beautiful chocolate eyes! Melts my heart all the time! The Lord has been so good in giving Brother to us to raise! We pray that we raise him to be a strong man. One who loves his God, who puts Him first and leads his family with a sweet spirit and loving heart...but then...

...then I wonder if we are doing enough for him...if we are raising Him as God intended. I often fear that we are not...and I wonder...I wonder about the thoughts of Mary. What could her thoughts have been as she looked into the eyes of her Son. What desires and dreams did she have? Did she even have any? What were her fears, her prayers? I wonder if she worried about failing as well. Then I remember...He was not hers but God's, God's Son! Born to die...no matter what Mary may have dreamt or desired...

No, my son is not mine either, nor is he his father's but he is God's. Am I truly willing to give him right back to God? To let Him have His will and way in Brother's life? Completely? Wholly?

I don't want another year to pass us by without fulfilling some part of God's plan for his life. No matter how big or how small the task...I want what God wants for this child...
