Terrible Two's???
This stinker has given us a run for our money the past week and a half. I had almost thought we would get through the two's without too much of a discipline problem, but like a light switch that all changed this past week. I am still not convinced and really praying that this might be a little bit of early adjustment and a sense of something about to happen.
Either way, I hope this is very short lived :) It has created some pretty timeless moments like pictured below...this personality change happened in a short 45 seconds, no joke!
How do you go from this happy face 
to this pitiful cry 
and to this face...what a pout!

Holland's Baby Shower
My closest friends through Holland the sweetest baby shower one Thursday night a couple of weeks ago. I was 35 weeks at this point and it was a great night away with the best of friends. It was so much fun to receive such sweet little pink gifts the whole night! I could not ask for better friends!!! Thanks you to all who helped us celebrate Holland's arrival.
Speaking of her arrival...I can not believe that we are five short days away from meeting her! If all goes as planned, we are scheduled to be induced this coming Friday, September 25th. Please keep us in your prayers.

Melts My Heart...
Mommy: "I love the picture of your teddy bear!"
Thomas: "I help maked bear better." "Jesus loves Thomas so much!" "He maked me better."
Mommy: "Jesus does love you so VERY much!" "More than you will ever know."
Thomas: "Jesus and God maked Mommy better too...and Daddy...and Baby Holland!"
Music to a mommy's ears. Never at two and a half would I think that God would plant such sweet seed in my little ones heart! I am so thankful for his two spirit filled teachers and for what they are doing to impart precious knowledge to him and his classmates. I so doubted our decision to change schools on him this year with all the many changes our family will soon be going through. The transition seemed effortless for him and I prayed that God would continue to show me that we had made a good decision. Wow, don't you LOVE the way he shows you things sometimes? I pray that Michael and I will be given the strength and knowledge to nurture the seeds within his heart so that they may mature and one day bring about a good and bountiful harvest for God!
P.S. I have so much to update on the blog...Holland's baby shower, tailgates, a big boy room, etc. But sweet times and conversations such as what we shared today are what I wish to remember most one day...so all the other will have to wait till tomorrow!
This sweet boy surprised and melted my heart on the way home from preschool today. His class talked about the story of Jesus healing a sick boy and they made a picture of a teddy bear with a band-aid on to go along with what they learned. Although Thomas does tell me a lot about his days...the connections he made today really surprised me!
