Little One at 21 months!


My baby is fast becoming an official little girl! She is so grown up lately and is very much a 
"do it herself" type of gal!

*Her first sentence was spoken on Sunday and it pretty much summed up the last 4 weeks of her life....as I was putting the lid on her lotion, she told me "I DO IT".

*She tries to pee on the potty and even wipe, though she hasn't actually peed yet. When I get ready she always has to have her makeup and deodorant on too.

*She still isn't sleeping alone, still sleeps with me

*She refuses to sit in her high chair, it is a daily fight because she is still too little to sit in a kitchen chair

*She like to boss poor Runt (our dog) around

*Her favorite DVD is "Monsters Inc".....Why did I sell all of Jonathan's Monster Inc toys? 
I really need them now!

*She loves to walk around outside and has little skinned up knees to prove it.

*She loves shoes and picking out what she is going to wear. She goes for her Easter dress every single time and gets mad that she can't wear it everyday

*She is a Momma's baby and I treasure that and the time we get to spend together every day!

*Her favorite word is MAMA!!! Yay!!!! Followed by her 2nd favorite word MORE.



By the way, Baby Patrick is still not doing well. I can't help but look at Karsen and think of him since they are only 2 months apart in age. I am thankful for every moment with Karsen because I know in a second, it can change.
Please keep praying for Baby Patrick as his condition has worsened. Dr's have said there is nothing they can do but we believe in miracles!

Patrick's Prayer Warriors


I was forwarded the story of a little boy who is close to Karsen's age last month. In March, after not feeling well his mother took him to the doctor. After running some tests and a CAT scan, it was discovered this little guy had a brain tumor and that it had spread to his spine. He was immediately hospitalized and operated on. Over 9 surgeries in less than 2 weeks. Baby Patrick has become a symbol of what happens when people pray. He has had some severe complications and has been bleeding internally now for over a week. The Dr's do not know where the bleed is coming from and cannot operate to find the source or baby Patrick will die.

His story has touched my heart and I am so thankful it was forwarded to me. When Karsen was so sick this past winter I was so afraid that something was wrong with her. I was so afraid there was something her that her Dr's were missing so baby Patrick's story hits home.

Patrick's parents show amazing faith thru this journey. His mom said it best when she posted: "that if God heals Patrick, she will take him home and love Patrick and praise God, but if God sends Patrick his angels and calls him to heaven, she will still love Patrick and praise God".


Please say a prayer for this family! Claim and believe in God's miracles! Let the Dr's be AMAZED at what God can do when medicine can't.
