Life

Well, here we are, almost 3 weeks old and we are living in transition. I am learning in the midst of life, if I really believe what I say and think I believe. My character is being developed daily and where do I find my thoughts? ... Being grateful. Being grateful for a mom who would come and sepnd 2 weeks with me and pack up my house all the while taking care of me and my new bundle of joy. Being grateful for a husband who would move us out of the house and continue to press on, even though there are uncertanties. Grateful for a another daughter that seems to be adjusting well to a new addition. Grateful for in laws that would let us move in with them just because they love us and know that we have a need. Grateful to God that His timing is perfect regardless of what the world says about everything happening at once. Grateful that God has not left me in this world alone and loves me as I struggle to press on. I am so grateful for all the blessings and the blessing of just being right now. When I get caught up a little, I will post pictures and change my lilypie. We are all clinging to Jesus and to each other. Thank you for all the calls and texts and prayers.

Maggie Kate's Arrival

EJ & MK

Our family of four.

EJ, Daddy & Maggie Kate

Well, it is long over due so here goes. Last Tuesday, November 3, 2009 I was on my way to pick up EJ from school and I thought my water broke. I walked inside and went to the bathroom and still thought my water might have broken. I got EJ and then called the Dr. We then had to head to the Dr.'s office and get things checked out. I ended up being admitted on Tuesday night to be monitored. My Dr. arrived at 6:20 am on Wednesday morning and told me that I would have a C-section at noon. So that is what we prepared for and began to call family. So MK came at 12:17 pm on November 4, 2009. Weighing in at 6.2 and 20 inches long. We are so thrilled to have her here safely and we are adjusting to being a family of 4. As Trey says, we'll be playing man to man defense.

Amongst all this excitement, we have a contract on our house. Things are moving rather quickly too and we could be out by Thanksgiving. Who knows? I firmly believe, the Lord is in control and that His timing is perfect. Please pray as we make this transition and even aren't sure about all the details that are to follow.

Here are some pictures:
