We're Moving!!

We finally sold our house!!! Although I am ELATED, a  part of me will miss this place. This is the first house Josh & I bought. We came home from our honeymoon to this house. We brought our babies home to this house. We have a lot of memories in this house.
I know our new house will not have the nostalgia this one holds.
But I am certain there are new memories to be made. New adventures to be had. And I am excited for all that the future holds for our family.

One Whole Hand!

Last Saturday my big boy turned 5 YEARS OLD! (I know, I know....Hard to believe I have a 5 year old, right? :))
I remember the excitement and unknown when he was born. I remember how scared I was to love something soooo much. I remember anxiously awaiting his arrival, when he decided to come 2 weeks LATE (In JULY, I might add)!!!
He is the one who made me a mommy. He is the one I am learning with. He is the one I get to share my "Firsts" with. He is my heart. I love this sweet, precious little boy more then words can describe. The Lord has been good to me, for sure!

My Sweet P only gets better with age.

Worry....

I am a born worrier.
I wish I wasn't.
I know as a Christian, I'm not suppose to worry. I'm suppose to give it to the Lord & PRAY. But, The Lord knows he created a worrier, and so I just hope he understands that this is hard for me.
Some worries are big.......some small.
I am currently in a "worry state of mind".
I also want God's will to be done in all of this, and not my own. Sometimes its hard to determine the difference.
I know I ask for prayer constantly, but....
Please Pray.

O Update!

We finally had Owen's Immunologist Appointment this morning and the doctor said that although what Owen has is very rare, he doesn't think it will cause him any serious problems. He did feel like it helped cause the hearing loss he already has, but he said his IgA levels are coming up and he thinks they will increase with his age. He said his IgM levels will probably always be very low but as long as we take proper precautions, he should be okay.
I have been praying for good news and what a Blessing! I feel so much relief. I am thankful for the wonderful friends who prayed constantly for my precious little O during this time. I am greatful for you all.

Birthday Boys!

P&O had a FABULOUS bday party this year! It was easy to choose a theme since they both think they are little boys by day, Superheros by night!

All of our closest friends were there to share in their special day. We are definitly blessed with so many great friends and a wonderful family to share such special moments with.
Super Sarah Dippity came to the party and did face painting and a magic show, which the kids loved. She definitly made the party. I also gave out Superhero Capes as the party favor which seemed to be a big hit as well. I don't think things could have gone any better. It was a wonderful day and I'm so glad I only have to do this once a year! :)

I cannot believe my babies are 5 and 3. Time sure does fly......especially when your having fun!

O's 3 & Cute as can be!

Three years ago today, I gave birth to one of the most precious little boys on earth! Owen is one of the most loving, affectionate little boys I know and I am so very blessed that God chose ME to be his Mommy!

I thank the Lord everyday for this precious little boy! I am sad my baby is growing up so fast but I look forward to the little man he is becoming.

Beachin it!

We just got back from our family beach week and it was the best beach trip yet. The boys are at the perfect age to enjoy the beach......and for Josh and I to enjoy a little relaxing as well.
It was just Josh and I with the boys the first part of the week and we enjoyed spending some quality family time together.
We ate dinner with one of my college besties, Amanda, and her family on Sunday then went to play at their house. I'm sad to say we did not take one single picture.....
We also spent a day on the beach with Josh's best friend and his family....again....no pictures. I got better towards the end of the week! :)

On Tuesday night the Mitchells joined us the rest of our vacay and we had a blast. The kids enjoyed playing on the beach and making sand castles, flying kites and swimming in the pool. We also took a trip to broadway and then of course to Kirks Ice Cream....my fav.









It was a great week and we are already looking forward to going back with Josh's family over Labor Day weekend.
