  • Got one down!

    Josiah is starting to memorize scripture with me.  We have been in a series called HABITS on the weekend with our students.  One of the HABITS that has been weak for me is memorizing scripture.  So, I asked Josiah if he wants to do memorize some verses with me, of coarse he said yes.  He is so good he already has our first verse down.  Here is his translation of Hebrews 13:8

    “Jesus Christ is the same the other day, and today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8

    He is doing so good and it is cute that he says the other day instead of yesterday.  I am excited to see how far this goes for both of us!

  • Great Podcast – After the Heart

    Well, we still have no new news on Jackson’s sleep study and are hoping to have some info tomorrow.  Luckily we do have a monitor that seems to alert us if he stops breathing for more than 10 seconds.  Its’ something we have had for awhile but didn’t really know we could trust it or not, but after two nights of us taking turns staying awake watching him and watching the monitor we both tried to go to sleep at the same time last night.  I don’t know if it did any-good, it seemed like both of us were up every hour checking on him.  So please continue to pray.  Here’s how you can pray specifically!

    Well tonight, on my walk, I know I am sounding old, but it’s part of the new habits I am trying to create, I listed to a podcast from the village church with Matt Chandler over Luke (part 30) After the Heart.  Great talk and if you are a Fusion Volunteer, one you should check out; it’s only 37 minutes long!  You can get it here or on itunes the village church podcast.

  • Goooooaaaaal . . . Pumpkin Patch . . . Friends

    Today started early with Josiah’s soccer game.  Joe played really well, he had a couple of assist, takeaways, and scored four goals.  It was so much fun watching.  Nana, and Papa were here to take in all the action.  From there, we ate breakfast at McDonald’s and then went to a pumpkin patch to pick up some pumpkins for Josiah and Jackson.  The boys had a great time picking out their pumpkins and playing with the straw.  All the pumpkins sold helps raise money for a youth group mission trip.  Great Idea!!! Right now, Josiah has his neighborhood friends in the backyard playing with the water table.  Here are some pics from today.

  • Plano Balloon Festival 08

    What a night. This was our second year to attend Plano Balloon Festival and we had a great night.  Josiah Jumped on a trampoline with bungee cords attached, we ate carnival food, watched Hot Air Balloons, Sky Divers, and Fireworks, all while hanging out as a family with some good friends.  I think Everyone had fun!

  • Paranoid!?!

    Have you ever been there?  I guess this is a form of worry, but ever since our last Hospital visit with Jackson, I have not been sleeping well.  It’s almost like I dread the evenings coming because most of our bad experiences have happened in the late evening/early morning.  I find myself watching his every move, feeling to see if he is breathing ok, or checking to see if he has a fever.  It typically starts about the time he is wanting to go to sleep.  It almost seems as if I sleep with one eye open.  If I do by chance wake up, I always check on him.  I am hoping that this is a short lived phase that doesn’t linger so I can get some good sleep with confidence that he is ok.

  • Fun at Target

    Target has put their Halloween costumes out so Joe and I had some fun!

  • Another Long Night

    Josiah decided to spend the night throwing up almost like clock work every 20 minutes from 11:30-3ish.  Jackson did the same thing Monday Night and seems to be fine.  I hope it over for Josiah that fast also!  On another note, I am feeling sick now and hoping that its not my turn next!

  • It’s Finished . . .

    The boxes from Ikea are empty and the stuff is put together!!!  It only took me until 4:00am to get it all done.

    No I haven’t lost my mind.  Jackson was throwing up last night (6 times in less than an hour) thanks to Long John Silvers and we were watching his fever to make sure he was ok.  Therefore, today I am paying for it!

    Here are the pics.

  • We went to Ikea . . .

    Now I have to put the contents in these boxes together before I go to bed.  It’s 8:45pm now . . . PRAY!
