On February 9th, 2006 at 5:05pm, we welcomed our baby boy Josiah Samuel Jefferson into the world. He was 8lb 12oz and 21in long. It was a hard labor and delivery, and also a hard recovery, but he's worth every ounce of pain! :-D We are treasuring this time as it goes by so fast! God is GOOD! :-D

I belong to an email group and one of the ladies on there went through SUCH a hard time in her life.... I forget how long ago (maybe 2 years ago?) she lost her 11 month old girl to a rare form of leukemia. She put together a website in her memory ( Read more... )

Have you ever wondered why it seems that those who are ungodly get away with everything??? Why those who are not a Christian seem to freely do whatever they want and even look like they are having a grand ol' time?? Then if you ever tried to do something sinful, you would have regret, guilt, shame, etc? I used to think about this a lot.... and ( Read more... )

Let see... when did it all begin? Ah yes, Sunday. Hannah started to lose her voice after her nap. I didn't think anything of it since she was acting completely herself.

Well, Brian got better by Monday evening and Tuesday he went back to work. Friday morning we woke up to 6 inches (so far) of snow, and still snowing like CRAZY! Brian had to go shovel himself a way out of the driveway to get to work.... and me? I woke up at 4:30 that morning feeling nauteous. Yep, I got Brian's virus. Thankfully I didn't get it as ( Read more... )

I am SOOO sore today. Why? you may ask... Well Sunday morning we woke up to about 3 inches of snow and Brian wasn't feeling the best. We decided to see how much would melt while the sun was up. Well it got close to dark and Brian took a turn for the worse. I decided I had to go out and try to shovel the driveway at least a little bit. (Keep in mind ( Read more... )
