HAPPY FATHER's DAY!!

I wanted to say Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there. I am so thankful I am getting a moment to post this while watching David snuggle Evan close.

Many of you will argue that you have the best husband, but I kindly disagree. David is one in a million and such an amazing Dad. You hear stories of Dad's not being involved with their kids and I just couldn't imagine. As soon as David gets home from work he instantly jumps in no matter where our day is at. On the weekends he is there 100% and it is so amazing to watch.

David was born to be a Dad and his boys are blessed!! I know there will be a day when they look at him and know how blessed they are. Although I think they already know how loved they are.

Drew is all about his Daddy. When David gets home I am as good as invisible to our brown eyed boy, which use to get to me but now I just sit back and enjoy the scene playing out in front of me.

I praise God because I know our boys will grow up and be just like their Daddy complete with servants' hearts. You want to know how I know this? Simple because he is just like his Dad. As a Mom it is so comforting to know our boys will learn how to have the hearts of servants & love one another just like the example David lays out before them! PRAISE GOD for the gift of David!!

STILL WAITING....

Well, little Evan is proving to be as stubborn as his brother was. We are now a few days past my due date and no little boy has arrived. My next appointment is on Friday, but join us in praying that he comes on his own before then!

So, in the mean time here are some fun pics of Drew from our church's Easter Egg Hunt last Saturday.

Cute Little Girl who had the same Easter Basket as Drew...

We had a little freak out about the dirt...

Sweet Maci... You will see they switched baskets. Drew filled his in no time, so he then took on Maci's and filled hers to... he was not messing around!!
I couldn't resist the box of eggs...

Isn't Maci a beauty??

I was so excited to get a surprise visit from one of my best friends Courtney & her youngest Maci. I was in shock when she walked through my door last week. Thanks James for helping with the surprise it totally made my weekend. I just wish Evan would have decided to make an appearance during her visit!

HAPPY EASTER!!

Happy Easter Everyone!

This is one of the most special days of the year as we reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made for us and celebrate him raising from the dead! This is also my official due date and as of right now... NO EVAN. I still have high hopes he will be here before Courtney leaves (who by the way flew in to surprise me). I am not big on remedies to put you into labor, but even I drank two STRONG glasses of Raspberry tea last night, NO LUCK! Although I know God can do anything!

In the meantime as we wait for this little guy, enjoy some cute pics of Drew's Easter morning fun!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

As I say Happy Thanksgiving I am also saying Happy 2nd Birthday to Drew! So, we have a double holiday this year! We are so blessed to be sharing this double holiday with David's family.. minus Mark (bummer) in Oklahoma! We also get to see our friends Courtney, Steve, & Kiddos... what could be better?????? My newest adopted sister Jamie riding down and back with us.

I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving as we give thanks to our Lord & Savior, Jesus! What better way to do that than with the FOUR "F's..." Family, Friends, Fun, and of course FOOD!!

I am just beyond thankful for each of you and the part you have in my life.. I would like to give a special shout-out to the people who have really made this year special for me:

*Courtney... I just love you girl, God sure knew what he was doing in making us friends, especially when we both needed it the most! "You've Got the Right Stuff!"
*Angela... what can I say we were just meant to be family, life would not be normal without you in it!!
*Leslie... for your continued friendship
*Jamie...I am so thankful to have you here, you are one of the main reasons I still function some days.. love ya sis..LOL!!
*Renee & Dawn... thank you for taking the extra time to make Drew important in your life, without having local family you have made it a little more bearable.
*Mom & Pop... you are our foundation & our rock, thank you for your prayers and continued love.
*Drew.. Mommy could not ask for a sweeter more funny little man! You brighten my days and I know God has great plans for you!!!

DAVID (last but not least)... I just don't know what I would do without you! God knew exactly what I needed in a husband, I love you!

Okay enough sentimental stuff!! Have a wonderful season! Christie

Our Easter Fun...

Again a week has passed and I don't know where it went. I really have to find a way to slow down time. We had so much fun last weekend for Easter! Drew went to his first Easter Egg hunt after a practice run the night before in the house. Then he had his first visit special basket from Mommy....oh, I mean the Easter Bunny, shhh! I also had the honor of singing a trio with our Music Minister (Bill), and Lori Bynum. They are the most amazing singers!!

So, these pics are going to be of last weekend as a whole.. enjoy!

AIRPLANES, he stopped what he was doing to watch, just like Daddy... You can see Daddy joined in below..
