Just want to wish my sister, Wendy, a very happy 20th birthday today!

Prayer Request

I have a HUGE prayer request for everyone who reads this.

A couple at the church we used to go to here in NC (we now go to a different church) were married earlier this month on January 10th. They are young- in their early 20's and their names are Greg and Stacey.

Tonight Stacey found her husband Greg in bed, passed away. They had only been maried for 12 days. My sister-in-law (she is 13) is very good friends with Greg's younger sister and is really worried about her because she was very close with her big brother. So please pray for Stacey. I cannot imagine the pain she is feeling. And please pray for their family and friends. Thanks so much.

Let it Snow!

It is snowing right now here in North Carolina! Holy Cow!

Please say a prayer for Elise. She has a bad cold with a fever of 102 last night and 101.5 this morning. My poor sweetie. Thank you!

Our son is 7 months old today!

Our baby boy, Patrick John, is 7 months old today!

In Memory of Magdalena Grace Roberts

I have been following the story of a sweet little baby girl named Magdalena on Blogger. She was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 while still in the womb. Trisomy 18 is deemed as "incompatable with life." Magdalena beat the odds and lived for over 5 months. Sadly she passed away earlier this week. In memory of Magdalena we were asked to wear pink today, since today in MS is her memorial service. I have some pictures that we took of Elise and I in our pink and of a poster we made in honor of a wonderful little girl. Knowing this little girl's story has helped me be a better and more patient mommy and has taught me to be ever thankful to God for my two healthy, fantastic children. Please keep Magdalena's mommy and daddy in your prayers while they rememember their daughter and mourn her loss; until they meet again in Heaven. God is great and faithful.

Here is the link to Magdalena's page if you want to read her story or leave your condolences-

And here are the pictures I told you about.

The poster we made. Dustin drew the heart and footprints. I wrote the words, and Elise helped mommy color the heart.

More Pictures!

Patrick sat up on his own for a looonnnngggg period of time yesterday. That was the first time too. :-)

Patrick has two teeth and is getting two more.

He does not crawl yet, but he tries to.

Elise has a severe peanut allergy (as most of you already knew), and also was found to be allergic to a lot more common foods too. :-(

Elise is doing well learning her numbers and colors.

Dustin is thinking seriously about joining the Army. I am going to support him in whatever he decides. For you Army Wives out there- what are your thoughts on this?

Enjoy the pictures! And FYI- Dustin shaved off his mohawk after these pics were taken lol!
