Noah's First Birthday





























I can't believe that our first year with Noah is all ready over! His First Birthday Party was a success. We had a water play/beach theme here at home, and lots of friends and family came to celebrate with us.

I'm pregnant....AGAIN!

How we found out: Well...much like with Noah-I was feeling very sick. Except this time around our whole household had a tummy virus, so I didn't think too much of it. As I was driving home one day talking to my homegirl Mandy, she casually asked if I was pregnant. I assured her that since my whole fam was sick that was not the case. But I decided to pick up a pregnany test on my way home anyway. So, I got home and Marshall and I played with Noah for a little bit-when I remembered that I had bought a preg test. I took the test, and immediately it came up positive! Marshall was laying on the floor playing with Noah when I ran in the living room and told him to stand up. He thought I was kidding at first, until I showed him the test and asked him if he was ready to have another baby. I actually thought Marshall was going to have a heart attack right there, but being the great man that he is, he composed himself and besides being a little (a lot) in shock, he was happy too!

Marshall and I can't even begin to explain how thankful we are for this gift. It's impossible for this to be happening again-but that's what our God specializes in; making the impossible, possible. He has given me the desires of my heart and he never ceases to amaze me with his surprises! We serve a creative, passionate, amazing God who longs to give good gifts to His children. We can't wait to love and nurture this child, but most of all to raise this child to know and love Jesus. This baby is a perfect example of God's grace in our lives and we are so thankful to experience it!
