I know that it has been a long time since I have blogged on Xanga.  I have been doing Facebook these days but I miss the blogging part.  I just wanted mostly to share some great pics of my little boy...(did you see I didn't write baby?)  He is getting so big but he will always be my baby.

We went to NYC and see how much Preston enjoyed it!

These are the girls from my corps playing Timbrels for Star Search 2008 in New Jersey.  They didn't place but they did a great job and they looked good...and most of all they did it for God.

We went to Florida this year in June and you see how much Preston liked Mickey..he was scared to death.

He enjoyed the lego family at Downtown Disney much better.

and his favorite part the music and playing the bongos at Downtown Disney...

What a great summer we have had.  Now it is time for fall....I love the beginning of every season.  I anticipate the days to come.  Today we started our first day back to work from 2 weeks of vacation.  Our first day was spent at Camp Neosa for Leadership Councils...we continued talking about a clear leading.  I believe and pray that God will give us a clear leading in the days to come.

 I know that Valentine's Day was yesterday...but I always seem to be a day behind anymore so Happy Valentine's Day.  Here are some pics of my little valentine. 

Charlie got me this bear our first Valentine's!

My mom had this shirt made for Preston!

I would have to say that today was one of my most stressful days of the season.  Well should I say the most stressful morning.  I am typically the person that keeps my cool and is pretty calm and go with the flow and today I just couldn't take it anymore.  I actually just cried.  Well before you know I was offered a hug and reassured that I was doing a fine job and that things would be okay.  Oh how thankful I was for that.  I then was able to go with 2 of the ladies who help me with youth programs to pick out gifts for the kids and we also had lunch together.  It may have only been taco bell but it was one of the finest meals I have had lately.  Just sitting chatting with no baby crying, no people interupting needing things such as toilet paper or scissors or whatever the crisis at the moment may be.  I am just so glad that God helped me just to slow down and take a deep breath.  It ended up being a great day. Not that I mind taking care of my crying baby or helping people with what they need but I just needed one moment to myself.  It was such a relief.  My husband also heard that I had a crummy morning and brought me a peanut butter, hot fudge sundae from DQ (my favorite). We also were able to decorate the chapel for the Christmas musical that we are doing on Sunday with the children.  I am really excited.  Last year we didn't do one and I think it is going to be very nice on Sunday. 

Thank God for special moments that we don't expect.
