Noah's 1st haircut!

BEFORE

AFTER

Today was a very big day. Noah went and got his crazy hair cut. It was bittersweet for me. I know he needed it oh so badly, but I was sad to see his little baby hair cut off. He did sooo good. He just sat there and watched her do it in the mirror and was loving his new hair cut. They gave us a super cute certificate and a bag for his little hair and then we got a really cute picture of him and his hairdresser. He is still my baby boy but he looks just so much like a big boy now! Here are some before and after pictures of Noah. I only have a couple of pictures of the after, but i will continue taking. I have probably a hundred of him actually getting his haircut. His daddy could not put the camera down.

update all sorts

It's been almost a week and I thought it might be time to just update everyone....

My brother..... He is doing better i think. He has gone back to school but has no car and is waiting to retrieve the things from his truck once the investigation is over. should be next week sometime. We found out through a friend who played at the man's funeral who died that the funeral was so touching. She told us that the wife called the pastor that morning and told him that her and her family were going to be ok but she was really worried about a 19 year old boy having to deal with this. She went on to have a moment of silence and prayer on my brother's behalf. Man, makes me cry because they do not know my brother but they have so much compassion for someone they never have even met in the midst of all this. I believe this gave kyl some comfort.


Noah.... is finally better! Oh thank you. he is just a little conjested but things have healed up and we are good. HE is ten months now. oh man. He now says hello, mama, dada, uh oh, and waves byebye. he nods no! he wont nod yes!he is standing so well and we have had many steps taken we are just working on the confidence. he dances and sings so well :)

David... started student teaching and works a job so he is gone pretty much everyday form7 to 4 and then leaves at 7 for work until 1 am. we hardly get to see eachother and it gets pretty lonely cause he is pretty much the only person keeping me company so its been hard on me and noah without him, but man in may he is done and that is soo worth it!

Me..... im doing good. in the midst of just chaos these past few weeks, i have learned to be content. God is teaching me a whole lot of things right now because I have made more time for him. just me and him and i feel satisfied. life is good though.

Well, i have a baby at my feet ready for a nap so i will go but for anyone who reads this there is a short update on our family.

a cry for prayer

Monday was a day family will never forget. We recieved a phone call letting us know that my little brother had been in a car accident involving another car and an 18 wheeler on his way back to college station. At this moment, emotions of every kind rushed through us. I, personally, wanted to leave and go to my brother's side. No one on the scene was supposed to survive. I got a phone call from my mom letting me know the hospital kyl was at and that she was on her way to his side. I was on the phone with her as she passed the scene, only to witness my brothers truck smashed under an 18 wheeler. Sobbing is all I could hear.The prayers were lifted form all over texas from relatives and family member, church members, and old friends. Mom walked in to see my brother as a living miracle. He lived and not only did he live but he walked out with an hand injury, tendon damage, stitches and cuts on the other arm. The next day, we found out the man in the other car did not survive. Yesterday, we found out his name and read his obituary. All I could think about was, "Please God let him be a believer." Through reading he was a man of gentleness and kindness and loved the Lord with eveyrthing he had. He was loved by so many people and so many comments were made to him about how patient and wonderufl he was. They talked about how much he valued salvation and his family. He was especially close with his only daughter who is in highschool. This pains my heart, and my brother is in a state of grief and guilt and a heavy heart right now. Please pray for him as he deals with this. The enemy has no place near him. God spared his life , so that he could have a second chance. He has already decided that he lived for a reason and he will not let this second chance be wasted. I love my brother , and i cannot imagine my life without him, but for a split second I had too. Thank you Lord for sparing my baby brother's life. Please keep him in yours prayers for emotional, physical and spiritual healing, and the family who lost a dad, husband, son, and friend.

It is 3:50am

I am sitting here with my son and husband and we are all staring at eachother. yeah thats right..... this was what happend.
10:00 p.m layed noah down to sleep
11:00 p.m. noah wakes up crying
every five minutes crying
12:00 am david gets home from work, noah is wide awake
1:00 a.m. screaming
2:00 a.m. screaming
3:00 a.m. up to play and this is where we all are right now
I dont even know what to do or how to go about this. I thought maybe he was sick but he is in the best mood of his life. oh man we are tired. i cant see straight. I have a headache. I really wish I could snuggle up in my bed, but no my baby reminds me that is not going to happen.

Are you kidding me!?!?!?

Are you kidding me? my son has been sick for two weeks (look below at the last post). So i think were almost done with everything. Thrush i think is getting better, antibiotics for ear aches getting better, and tonight he starts running a fever and gets the viral rash like he had the last time he ran a fever at 7 months. Oh my goodness. did i take him out too soon while his immune system was down or what??? So, back to the doctor we go tommorow. Please pray for this baby, he just cant seem to catch a break. For a baby who has only been sick once this second time will not leave us alone.

blogging had taken a back seat to a sick family!

Well, it has been crazy!!! here is a little update of the last three weeks! We spent christmas in houston which was amazing and wonderful as it always is, but christmas eve I pretty much spent it over a toilet throwing up!!! Then that whole bug traveled throughout the entire family, mind you I have five siblings! Then I get this horrible cold, and that begins to travel. At the end of our stay David gets what I think was a minor case of the flu so we decided not to ride home with him, but he had to be home for work. So me and noah were in houston till who knew when. I finally booked a flight home last monday because I was ready to be home. Not to mention I had a sick baby because noah then caught the horrible congestion and cold. We finally get home and I take noah to the doctor and he has two bad ear infections. Four days later, he has developed thrush due to the antibiotics. Oh my goodness!!!! So thats it right there in a nut shell. That was our christmas, and now we are still recovering two weeks later! so I think we may have it under control because we are down to just noah have minro ear infections almost gone and some thrush that is already going away. Now sickness please stay away! So this is why I have not blogged! BUt pictures of christmas and all that goodness will come soon, but for now we are just gearing up for another semester then graduation for my hunny!
