Life is precious!

Well, Michaela has moved up in life. She has a box! Why buy toys when you can make them even more happy with a cardboard box? I just want to say that God is too good to me. Take a few moments and ponder the blessings that are showered out from our Lord. It can be overwhelming at times. Even through trials, God always manages to work through us in a way that is incomprehensible. He is a faithful God!

Have a wonderful day.

Just some pics.

Pumpkin Patch!

Chris, Michaela, and I went to the pumpkin patch in Hamilton on Saturday! We had a great time. The weather was beautiful, which was an added bonus. Michaela especially loved the wagon ride! We are going to carve our pumpkin tonight! I will post pics of that later. Life has been absolutely wonderful here lately! Michaela is more of a blessing each day. We couldn't ask for more. I can't help but wonder if God has another one in our future! For all of you prayer warriors out there, please pray that there is another miracle in store for us. I know though that GOd's timing is always perfect.

I hope you all have a wonderful week. Tah Tah for now~!

So much fun!

I just thought these were some cute pics. Michaela wanted me to put that headband around her head tonight. She thought she looked so cool. She pulled it off every few minutes and then would bring it back to me to put on. You would think it was Easter time because she was all about walking around with her basket picking things up. So fun! Everyone have a great week!

Michaela and her rocking chair!

We have discovered that Michaela loves to climb on things. She loves climbing in and out of her rocking chair that Grandma Becky painted for her. It was actually Chris' when he was a little boy. She climbs in, rocks a little, and climbs out. This goes on for quite a while before she wears herself slap out! I am so proud of her little sweater in the above pics. Her GG Jessie knitted it for her before she was born. I am so glad that she will get plenty of use out of it this fall and winter. Grandpa Bob bought her the other sleep outfit. It says NEtJets on it and has little airplanes on the jacket and the onesie! Thanks gramps!

Well, Michaela is officially walking more than she is crawling. I think she has figured out that it hurts her knees much less, and she just looks so darn cute doing it. As a matter of fact, I believe that walking has been the only way of getting from place to place that she has used today! I will talk to you all soon.

BYE the way, the womens conference I attended last weekend was unbelievable! I urge you to go next year if you are in or near the Jackson area. It was an Extraordinary Women conference. Also, if you have not heard, the new Point of Grace CD is awesome!!! I never thought I would ever say that b/c I got a little tired of them through the years, but this newest one is by far their best one yet. (In my opinion) You can go on the Point of Grace website to get a taste of that as well. I will talk to you all soon. Have a fab day!

Just a few ramblings...

Well, we have had a really great past week! Chris' ten year high school reunion was this past weekend and we had a fun time! He was able to see people he hadn't seen in a really long time. I enjoyed meeting many of them as well. It is so unreal that it has been 10 years since we have graduated high school! WOW!
Michaela is doing lots of firsts these days! She started standing up in the middle of the floor when she was about 10.5 months old, so we thought walking was soon at hand. Think again. It wasn't until two months later that she started full out walking around. About a week or two ago she started walking about 5-10 steps at a time. Now she is a pro at this walking thing. It is so exciting to see her learn and experience new things! I love being a mommy! ME want more!!!! :) She is also talking a lot more. It is so fun to be able to tell her to go get her baby, bunny, or whatever and see her go directly to it and bring it to me. It is so amazing that although they cannot verbalize a ton of things at this stage, they know exactly what we are telling them to do. It reminds me of what a responsibility we have as parents to be an example in word and deed. They pick up on more than we realize!
I do not currently have any pictures to upload at the moment. I will post some as soon as I get around to putting them on the computer!
Oh yeah! I am attending a conference this week in Jackson. I am so excited! Chris will have Michaela Friday and Saturday, so it will be an adventure for him as well. I am looking forward to seeing what the Lord will do at this conference!
Nothing but love~!

What a Crazy Few Weeks!

Michaela likes to get in her pool anytime. Even when fully clothed! I love the ghetto bootie in this picture. It is amazing how much a diaper can absorb!
She is all about mommies sunglasses now. I think she thinks she looks cool.
It is a treat when mommy actually gives in and lets Michaela see the cell phone. She really thinks she is hot stuff then!
Well, it has been a while. First of all, my wonderful mother was here with us for a week after Michaela's birthday. It was an absolute joy to have her here. I just wish my family lived closer. Michaela had a blast with Grammy too! The weekend after Michaela's bday, mom stayed with her for a night while Chris and I went over to B'ham for a night. That was the first night I had away from Michaela, so although it was very wierd and I thought about her very often, it was a treat for Chris and I to be able to get away and relax! Thanks mommy, your the best.

Michaela got her shots right after her birthday and they did not go over well. She has never really had any type of reaction before, so this was all new to me. It took her a good week to start feeling herself again. I am just thankful that there is only one more round left for a long while! At her year checkup, everything looked great. She weighed 20 lb 10 oz and is 30 inches tall. It is amazing how much they grow in the first year.

Michaela is still not full out walking, but as close as you can get. Seven steps is the most I have seen her take at one time before realizing she gets places faster crawling. It is amazing to me that she loves to pick up heavy things and stand dancing like a maniac, yet she still has no real desire to take this walking thing to the next level. It will come at the right time though.

Well there is a lot more to share but I will do this at a later date! I have too much to do today, although I would love to share my life story on here. I love you all and hope that you have a wonderful rest of the week. Remember, life is precious, life is sweet...
