Terrible TWO's

I think Jackson has started the terrible two's already! He has started being more adventurous and getting into more trouble lately. His newest trick is kicking or pushing. He got into trouble today at daycare after hitting another child with a plastic toy and then pushing the child! Jonathan and I both are making sure we are punishing him when he "throws a fit" or kick/hits, but it seems so early that he is venturing into this stage! I just pray that this stage will pass! I welcome any advise from all those mothers who have went through this!

Wonderful News!

I received an update tonight that a very special family was given wonderful news today! There is power in prayer! I am so happy for you guys and your family!

Happy Anniversary!

Jonathan and I celebrated our 2nd Wedding Anniversary yesterday! Over these last 2 years I have come to realize I am so blessed to be marries to such a wonderful man. My husband is such a wonderful, fun-loving, down to earth man and everyone loves him! He is a wonderful father and he constantly provides me with encouragement, love and support. Happy Anniversary to my sweet husband. I love you so much!

Family Tradition

As most people already know, my husband is very talented when it comes to music. This picture actually helped me understand exactly why my husband came to love music as much as he does and why he is so talented. Notice my husband and son to the left (yes, I believe my son will play a muscial instrument). To Jonathan's left is his Uncle Shelton, James (Jonathan's dad), his cousin John, and Uncle Wayne. The family got together for a private concert this past weekend and we had a blast! In the past, Jonathan's family got together for holiday's and all the men would play and sing (I have watched some great home movies!) The last time we had a family gathering was Christmas 2005 at Jonathan's house in Westwood. It was the first time I met Jonathan's entire family and I was very overwhelmed. (My husband has a much larger family than I do!) Traditions are a wonderful thing and I am so happy that both my family and Jonathan's family place such an emphasis on family time! We look forward to more pickin and singin in the years to come!

POUR OUT YOUR BLESSINGS TO ONE ANOTHER

I believe that certain things in our lives occur for a specific reason. Although that reason may not be clear at that moment, I truely believe that there is NOTHING that you cannot overcome and that God does not put any more on us than we can handle. Someone is going through a "rough patch" right now and I am sending out thoughts, prayers, and love for this family! May there be a calm during this storm in your life! You are a wonderful, loving family and there are so many people praying for you!
