Thanksgiving & John Davis's 1/2 Birthday






November 22 was a great day! Keith and I took John Davis over to Granny and Papa's lodge on the farm, and we ate a terrific Thanksgiving meal. Most of Keith's large family was there. Afterwards, we celebrated John Davis's 1/2 birthday. No, I did not bake the cake, but I did decorate it! Our cousin's Amy and Lindsay even sang" Happy Birthday!" Well, you could say they attempted to sing it...joyfully! It was a treat! I can not believe that 6 months ago our precious angel was born. What a wonderful present from God! We are thankful for our family, our health, our salvation and our home!

Baby Dedication





November 18, 2007 was the day of John Davis's baby dedication. Keith and I were so proud to announce to our friends and family that we want John Davis to live out the Lord's will. We want him to see the good in others, to help those who are hurting, to speak the wonderful name of the Lord, but most of all to live for Jesus!

Brr...



It was cold one day last week, and we had to bundle John Davis up in his new sweater and cords. I couldn't help but to take pictures!

High cotton





I thought I had plenty of time to get a picture of John Davis sitting in cotton. We live right next to a cotton field; however, I came home and the John Deer tractors were out picking the cotton. I threw something on John Davis and we ran to the field. He was mesmerized by the dirt and grass he was sitting in. I thought the pictures turned out cute!

Busted!

I promise the videos will get better. We are learning how to use the camera on top of learning how to edit them to fit on the blog spot.

Ribbit, ribbit


Halloween was on Wednesday night, and we were just planning on meeting the "trick-or-treaters" at the door. I didn't purchase an outfit for John Davis because we weren't planning on going anywhere. One of my friends thought that it was terrible that I didn't have an outfit for John Davis, so I found this frog outfit that his cousin, Caden, gave him. It is too big for John Davis, so you might be seeing it again next year!

Before I was a Mom.....

Before I was a Mom.....
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom...
I had never been puked on...
Pooped on...
Chewed on...
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom...
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom...
I ne ver held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him/her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom...
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom...
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
