Baby In A Tree

Do you see it??? Too cute not to share!!

Hopefully next post will be more informing on what is going on in my life.

Alot has happened in the last week, so please check back!!!

Posting

For the next couple of days I may be a little negligent in my posting. Please don't forget to check back. We have some exciting things coming up like Gracie's last day of school!!!! Wow how they grow up.

Thanks to all of you for all the well wishes for my going back to work!!

Back To Work

Although I have had an entire year off of work, I must go back. I have to return to work TOMORROW. Ahhhh . I am so nervous and the reasons are endless. I feel bad for my two year old son that knows nothing more than me being at is beck and call. I also feel nervous just about going back to the office. Now grant you I will only be there for a week, then I will be able to work from home. But this week away just seems so grueling. They also want me to come in for an 8 HOUR DAY once a week. again AAAHhhh. I know to some people this may seem a little strange, but until you have been a stay at home mom you can't quite understand.

So wish me luck on my next chapter in life and for those of you that pray, say one for me. MY NERVES ARE KILLING ME.

Happy Mother's Day

Mothers are many things with many qualities. Some of them include making their needs more important than our own or giving up any sleep to care for them. Also the fact that we can heal an owie with a kiss. To them we are super women who love them and take their every need serious! To all of you readers that are mothers I hope you had a special day with your special little ones!!!

MOM:You are the best in all ways. Although I may be a grown women you still heal my pain with a kiss. You are not only my mom you are my VERY BEST FRIEND. I love you so much that words can't express what I feel for you and our relationship.

NADJA: I am so proud of the mother you have become. My heart melts when I see the love in your eyes for your special little girl. You have grown in so many ways. You are a mom that many wish they had. I love you and wish you only the best that motherhood has to offer!

PAM: Thank you for all that you do for our family. I know that your life is very busy, but you always make the kids feel they are #1. For that I am truly thankful.

Name Idea For Baby?????

What's Your 1950s Name?

Dear ,
In my marriage seminars, I have asked thousands of men and women this question; "How many of you were raised in a home where one parent was clearly dominant over the other parent?" In every seminar the majority of people raise their hands to signify a yes answer.
After that question, I ask this one; "How many of you who just raised your hands believe the dominance of one parent over the other had a negative effect on the marriage and family?" Immediately, every hand that was raised the first time goes back up.
Dominance is one of the most damaging dynamics that can exist in any relationship -- especially in marriage. God simply didn't intend for marriage to be a relationship where one spouse would dominate the other.
To understand this we have to go back to the Garden of Eden before the fall of mankind. In the Bible, there isn’t a reference indicating Adam was superior to Eve or vice versa, until the fall. After Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God pronounced a curse over them. In Genesis 3:16, we find that He told Eve her desire would be for her husband, and he [Adam] would rule over her. The word desire in that scripture means "a desire to usurp authority."
Dominance and a struggle for power or superiority in a marriage are the result of our fallen nature, and they destroy intimacy and goodwill in the relationship. Early in our marriage, I was very dominant over Karen and didn't respect her input or value as a person. It led us to the brink of divorce. Karen had all she could take and I was at a crossroads. In a dark moment in my life, the light of Christ broke through my hard heart and I made the decision to stop dominating Karen and to begin treating her as an equal. The results were astounding.
It must be understood that dominance is as common among women as it is men. It is a gender neutral sin. In my own life and in many counseling sessions, I have seen the devastation dominance causes.
There is only one answer -- both spouses must surrender themselves and the marriage to the authority of Christ and stop trying to control the marriage. This means the dominant spouse must have a humble attitude and "stand down." It also means the dominated spouse must stop enabling the dominance. He or she must lovingly "stand up" and take an active, equal position in the relationship.
Marriage is a partnership of two equals under God's authority. The best marriages are those where both the husband and wife are committed to doing God's will. Their time and energy isn't spent fighting each other, it is spent finding God's will and doing it. This is how God created marriage to function in the beginning. It's still the only way it works.

Blessings,

Jimmy Evans

Soooo... It's Official

My husband and I are going to start trying for my third pea!!!!!!
Anyone that knows me knows this is the most exciting news in the world to me. I have been begging my husband for almost a year now and he finally thinks it is time. I think all my close friends and family will be relieved that I will stop obsessing about getting pregnant. I think that I could link any conversation we were having back to me wanting to have another baby. So to all of you that know this about me I apologize, your suffering will come to an end. he he. So here's to all the joys of TRYING and all the excitement of ANTICIPATION.

Of course this does mean that I will be changing the name of my blog in the future....

I was kinda thinking AND THEN THERE WAS THREE ????

What do you think. We have a while to ponder ideas....
