Tucker's 1st Day

Yesterday was Tucker's first day in Mrs. Karen's 2yr old class at Madison Church of Christ's MMO. Arden also had Mrs. Karen and absolutely LOVED her so we are beyond excited that Tucker will be taught by her, too :)

I was a little nervous that Tucker would have a hard time going to school by himself--he adores Arden and wants to be with her at all times. He had even asked me several times if I would be going to school with him so I just knew there would be some tears yesterday, but he did GREAT! He walked right in like a big boy and had a fabulous first day--and we are so thankful :)

Tucker, you are growing up so quickly right before our eyes! You are not a baby anymore, but a sweet, fun-loving boy who we pray will learn and grow so much this year. We love you!

First Day of Kindergarten

Arden, we can't believe you start kindergarten today! Where has the time gone? You are such a sweet, smart, creative girl and we know that you will be so successful this year!  We love you more than you know and we are so proud of you!

Back in the Saddle

I'm trying out a new blogger app, hoping this will help me blog a little more often. I'm not promising daily or weekly posts, but I'm crossing my fingers it will help me post more than twice a year ;)

So while I test this out and see how it works, enjoy this picture of my two precious babies :)

Blessings

God has truly blessed our family over the last couple of months.  I think it's important to document these blessings so that I can easily look back and be reminded of how God is taking care of us all the time :)

Most of you know my mom had a liver transplant on December 19, 2012. We are so thankful for the way God has watched over her, protected her, and provided in ways we couldn't begin to imagine! The photos below were taken less than 2 weeks after her surgery.  It's amazing how quickly we saw improvements in her health.  She continues to improve and feel great---Praise God! 

Last week, my PaPaw had surgery on his back.  He was in so much pain prior to the surgery, but felt immediate relief---YAY! He is in rehab right now, but should be leaving early next week.  I hear he is making friends with everyone he meets there, and may even be talking his way out of some of his therapy ;) We are so thankful God has watched over him during his surgery and recovery!

Today, Geoff and I were so blessed to see a STRONG heartbeat for VZ baby #3! We are so excited to add a new little one to our family.  Arden is thrilled to be a big sister again, although she made it clear today that she wants a sister so she is not the only girl!  Tucker has no idea what is about to hit him--I think this mamma's boy is in for a rude awakening ;) We are so thankful for all the thoughts and prayers that have been lifted up on our behalf over the last 3 months. We have truly felt the Lord's peace and are thankful that He chose us to be this little one's parents!

We are in awe of all these "good and perfect gifts" from the Lord! We are not worthy of these blessings, but God is so faithful to His people. We continue to pray that His hand of healing and protection be on our family.  Again, we are so very thankful to each of you for lifting up our family to the Father over the last 2 months---we love you all!
