:)I have worked very hard at my weight loss. Unfortunately, I was forced to take a 10 week break from exercise and diet, but still maintained my loss. So, officially today I am DOWN! I got so so so excited last week when I slipped those lovely size 8 pants on with ease. AMAZING! Then, this weekend, I got a size 6 skirt that looks great! Just what I needed to give me that boost! I was looking at all these GREAT slacks that were size 6, and I thought, in 2 months...these will be mine....

Oh...the Fun of Christmas Pictures.
I guess that Isaac decided this year that he hated pictures. He wiggles, laughs, talks, waves, sticks out his tongue...you name it. Everything BUT smile! Abbie on the other hand, hammed it up! She enjoyed her photo shoot!First...here are the pictures of Isaac's defiance...And the ones that we will actually use...I liked about8 of the ...

The Magnificat
I have always loved this picture of Mary. It doesn't show her as a mother who was just getting ready to deliver. It shows her as a pure, young lady. This is how I pictured her as the angel came to visit her. Every Christmas, as a woman and a mother, I find myself focusing on Mary. I tend to view her as an example. After all, she was the only...

It's Begining To Look Alot Like Christmas...
Take a look at the 5 and 10, glistening once again...I love this time of year. So much hope and joy and magic. So many opprotunities to share the love of our Savior. And so many magical moments that you wish would never go away!Tonight, we drove about 40 min to see a light display at a fairgrounds. We stopped and used some CVS ECB's first on cookies...

Isaac and Abbie Funnies...and not so funnies...
Abbie First:Be aware. Your child watches those commercials!Lol. Abbie came into the bathroom this morning while I had water running in the sink. We have just a tiny clog in that sink that I have been working on. Abbie matter of factively told me, "You need The Orange Bam Mom!" Then walked out. Those commercials drill into their little heads. And ours for that matter!!!!!!Now, the EVER commical Isaac:We visited a church in another town on Sunday. Isaac was suprisingly EXCITED about joining in his...
Baby Shaw is in Heaven now...
According to our OB, our sweet baby shares the same birthdate as it's mommy. Unfortunatly, it was born into our Father's arms, not ours. I am physically feeling better. Emotionally, struggling a bit, and can tell that my hormones are starting to fall. Which will cause some crabbiness I am sure! Eeeekkks! I am grateful for the few weeks that I shared with my baby. I may never see that glorious 2 lines of a pregnancy test again...so I will cherish that memory. I may never look down...

His love still amazes me...
I guess that I can't get over how Big our God is. Some would say that God is not a loving God since He allowed the smallest of children to die. I say that He is a loving God because He provides when those horrible things happen. He allowed me to receive a book the week I conceived, knowing that this would be the end result. The book was about going through trials. He put the idea into a friends head to send the book. Isnt that the mark of a Provider? I guess I have and am learning so many...

Baby is not going to make it...
For those of you dear friends who check this blog, I just wanted to send a short word and let you know that our sweet baby is not going to make it. Today we had our 3rd ultrasound. We learned that it had not grown, and there was not a heartbeat. My uterus is measuring in between 8-9 weeks. The baby stopped growing around 6 weeks... We will wait to see what happens, hoping to avoid a D&C but might not have a choice. Right now, they are letting us just wait it out. Thank you all for the...

Little Sparkler...
So this really is not a very good picture, but I wanted to share our little sparkler with you. And dont pay any attention to the fact that you can see my shadows on it! It is major glossy and taking a picture of a picture always deems itself a strange fe...
Humbled...
I have a pretty amazing God. Shared this in my last post. But, I have been so convicted this past week over my initial response to hardship. A dear friend of mine from Hannahs Prayer (Ebeth!) sent me a wonderful book in the mail in October. It is called "Finding God's path Through Your Trials." By Elizabeth George. Well, at least I think that is what it is called. (the book is in our bedroom where Brian is sleeping and I dont want to wake him up to double check ;) ) Anyhow, God has used this...

Not quite a Firecracker...
More of a Sparkler right now...Wee Baby Shaw is taking it's time growing. Today we found out that our numbers did not double. This doesnt mean that we have no hope, just that we have to trust God a little more in what His plans are instead! We will have an ultrasound tommorow to tell how things are progressing. Hoping to come back and give you...

Announcing:
A new Baby Shaw is on the way... We were hesitant to announce this for 2 reasons. 1. being that we have some dear friends and family that are still trying for thier sweet ones, and we hurt so badly for them. 2. we did not want to announce anything until the Dr said that everything was looking good! And today she did! :)As of today, the Dr puts me...

And Isaac Sings....
So today, I taught the kids this cute little song. It went like this (to the sound of have you ever seen...) Have you ever seen a pumpkin, a pumpkin, a pumpkin Have you ever seen a pumpkin that grows on a vineThere's round ones, and tall ones and bumpy ones, and smashed onesHave you ever seen a pumpkin that grows on a vine...This is Isaac's version of the song...What a goof! And I promise, he gets this from Brian...not ME!...

Bubble Boy
My boy is the bubble boy now. After almost 3 years of struggles with Isaac, we now have a diagnosis. He is IgA deficeint. This means that his body doesnt make the cells that are necessary to war off infections and viruses. He is now on a life long medicine that makes him kinda whiny. We are hoping that this will be a short side affect. The dr...

Do you think he is allergic???
Poor Isaac...Brian forgot about his allergy, and gave him ranch last night. He kept telling us that his tongue hurt afterwards. The goofy boy, I found him LICKING the ranch out of the bowl after we took it away from him. Gotta figure out what is in the ranch, so we can avoid it in other things too...
Feeling a little better...
Talked with a friend on HP and am feeling better...Hair is hair. I made Brian happy. That is my second job on this earth. #1 is to please God, and by pleasing my husband, I am pleasing God! So, it is ok. I will be wearing lots of ribbons though. So if you could please be on the lookout for some girly ones, that would be awesome!!!! Oh...and I worked out, which made me feel better too. ;) Thanks for listening to me whine...you are awesome, whoever you a...

All There...
I read a really cool devotion yesterday. Although, it may have just been picked out for me, and no one else sees the value in it. It was discussing how we can not live in the past, for we can not change it. And we can not live for the future, for only God knows what that holds and only He has power over it.So, what are we to do then? We are to live...

Some Days are Wierd!
Well stink.Here I am...going through life...enjoying my joy...serving my God...finding my good deals ;) ... and what steps in my path???ME!For some reason...I stepped into the path of the wishing and wanting. And missing. I don't normally feel this way. I can generally go months without feeling this way. But today, I feel this way. Today, I am sad that I have lost 10 babies. I know all the right answers. But I am just kinda sad. I should have a newborn. I should be feeding it right now...

My peanut butter ran out...
LOL...I think I need to go to bed. My peanut butter has ran out. Feeling rather unsticky. Or at least I feel as though I would be like Glue...rather bland tasting. Can't wait for God to step in and show us where He wants us!!! And what He wants us to do. Praying and Pleading with Him tonight...and trying to get some Peanut Butter back...That makes me think of the the Chili's song...I want my butter back butter back butter back...I want my butter back butter back butter back. AANNNIIIIEEEEE'SSSSS...
I will give Joy in the God of my Salvation!
Habakkuk 3:18Ok...That is a wierd place to read your morning devotions, but I just really wanted to read something different! So, I read in Hab. I read the following, "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall the fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the feilds shall yeild on meat; the flock shall be cut off from...
