It's been awhile since I've posted....but I promise I have a VERY good reason!! 

Between morning sickness, bed rest, traveling, having siblings over to help me out and so forth I lost a bit of weight and my strength to do anything was down the drain. Thankfully, the Lord has sustained me through the first trimester and as of last Thursday little Ewok is the size of a peach and I'm finally into the second trimester!! That doesn't mean that throwing up, nausea, headaches and so forth have stopped. To some degree they have! (Which I'm ever so thankful for) But, through that whole trial I was constantly reminded by my mother and mother-in-law to turn to the Lord in prayer for this little one growing inside of me. I have to say I've fallen short of doing so many times breaking down in tears as I run to the porcelian throne to make yet another visit wondering when it would be over. But, it was a constant reminder of the blessing God has placed in Garrison's and my life.  As frightening as it is knowing that we are responsible for such a small soul..I take comfort that our Lord and Savior will be there right alongside us teaching us as we travel down this new path. Not only that, I have Garr to lean on, and Christian family as wonderful examples which makes me feel tripled in blessings!

So, now y'all know we're still alive!! You may now breathe a sigh of relief...;-) I'll try to get some more photos up when I get the chance!!





God bless and y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

    I feel for you, Melissa! Morning sickness is tough, but thank God for husband, family, and friends who offer so much help and encouragement! Keep pressing on, it will be over soon enough, Lord willing! So glad you're starting to do better though! =)

Added this one, just cause I like it best! =) What I've been working on, because these are much needed very soon! The Spare- oom is for my sister and brother-in-law. They are putting it above their baby's room which is also the guest room/stash room/sewing room! Couldn't decide which one I liked better....=P 1.... and 2! This is for my brother and soon-to-be Sister-in-law! I've made three of these and have gotten a good report...so this is what I give when people are getting married! =) Now to go conquer my Saturday, which it is now snowing after a HUGE rain/thunder storm last night. Anyone else have as random weather as we have?!?!? Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

So, as promised, here is PART 2 of our crazy weather! Snow cone? THE SUN IS SHINNING!!!! The three who were brave enough to venture into the great unknown! William and his "guys". Pulling Em out of a drift! Our lane.... The neighbor was kind enough to move the snow to the sides of the rode....thus making HUGE walls on either side! In the country there a LOTS of new games to play. THIS one is called FIND THE DRIVEWAY! Em in a drift.... One happy and rather cold girl! He's not sad.... he's a happy boy! Emma, cooking in style..... Abby stayed inside..she thought it was a better view from the window. Is there anything better then a nice cup of Chai tea while looking out at a frozen wasteland? Some vanilla (I know, very random picture) to make.... White and milk chocolate cookies for the kind neighbor who shoveled our drive!! Abby reading by a nice warm fire.....still not ready to go outside! Abby wrote a blog-post yesterday...I thought it was really cute and I'm su...

Well, here I am after a FULL day of snow, sun, family, friends, fun, and sweet fellowship! Wow! What can I say....it was cold, fun, crazy and did I mention it was cold? Our day started with sauteing the onions and garlic. Adding the beef and other such stuff to make a great southern Chili! Of course we had to make one not so spicy for those who cannot tolerate the taste of a Chipotle pepper! So, below we have Jessica (who did go out and play in the snow) stirring the stuff in a BIG pot! When I woke up the sun wasn't out....I was pretty bummed but was okay about it since we were going to have fun. The sun came out right before the Evans family arrived!! *bliss* God must have sent a blessing my way! Today is Jedidiah Evans Birthday, so we all got to sing for him!! Here is the delicious cake that Grace made for him!! Abby and Cara having fun by their secret snowball stash! =) I told Josiah he looked like he came out of a magazine....whatchya think?!?! Some of the girls stop for a pi...
