Waiting for Christmas

My little Joe is so funny! He is so excited for Christmas he can hardly stand it. Every morning he will ask me if he can open his presents yet and when I say not yet his reply is so dang cute! It goes a little like this..."But MOMMY! It is too hard for little boys to wait for Christmas! I need to open them NOW!!" I just love it! He is so cute and way too smart sometimes! I love Christmas and apparently he does as well. Tonight we are going to have family night and learn about the true meaning of Christmas. I am so excited that he is old enough to get the concept now! Merry Christmas to everyone!

Sweetest little boy ever!

Well, yesterday just made me so much more grateful for God's tender mercies. It started just fine, a normal day in our life but as the day went on it got...well...bad. We were hoping to start the loan process on our home but...things fell through so now we are begging for mercy and a second chance. That was the first bit of bad news. Shortly after that I went to the doctor for the pregnancy, I have been a little worried because I have been in some pain. Joe gave me a blessing Sunday so I was hoping that I would get some good news from the doc. and it would be an easy fix but...its not. At 25 weeks I am already having contractions and not just the normal 'Braxton Hicks' contractions. He put me on moderate bed rest and said we need to check it again in 2 weeks. Needless to say, as hormonal as I am anyway, all that bad news at the same time was just too much for me to handle. When I got to the car I was balling my eye's out and felt completely lost. That is when God sent me a blessing in the form of my little Joe. He came to me, put his head on my lap, looked up at me and said "Mommy, don't cry, it will be okay...I will save you!". It was just enough to pull me out of it and remember how blessed I really am. I must say, I am not quite sure what I would do without that sweet little boy, he really does 'save' me, almost every day.

I am extremely new at all this...

Well, I suppose that this may take some getting used too. I have never done a blog before but I decided I would try because I heard it is a great way to keep up on things. I will be short this time around but if...or should I say when, something exciting happens I will be sure to post it. If anyone likes what I post it would be nice to hear feed back.
