As I sit here in what is nearing the "wee" hours of Sunday morning. I am SO incredibly thankful for God's protection. You see, I got a scare tonight. It is a full moon and many of you know my boys go on adventures with Poppi and sometimes Daddy-O when there's a full moon, which they did tonight. They gave the we're on our way phone call around 8:15. When 8:45 rolled around I began to think the fun had taken over and they had forgotten their "curfew"! Then Nana called and said they had been in an accident....hit by a drunk driver! My children, my husband, and my dad. ALL of them. In one car. Hit by a drunk driver. PRAISE GOD they are ok. They were at a red light, waiting to turn and this man never hit his brakes. He hit them not once, not twice, but 3 times. Then tried to flee the scene. Thankfully they were not pushed into oncoming traffic. Thankfully he only hit them at 50 mph. Thankfully they were protected!
The dr.'s say everyone will be extremely sore tomorrow and maybe for a few days after but other than that, everyone is just fine! God is SO good.

I was recently asked the question in my bible study, "does God give you more suffering than you can handle?". We all agreed that most people answer that with, "No!" or "of course not!". I know I heard many a time after we lost Jordan, "God will never give you more than you can handle". Well, that's not true, now is it? Oh my goodness. What a relief that was to hear. He DOES give us more suffering than we can handle. Not that I felt like I needed justification for feeling like Jordan's death was too much for me at first but man oh man that took a weight off my shoulders.
2 Corinthians 1:8-9 says "...we were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead."
As I sit here tonight, pondering what to write, I can't help but feel blessed. "Immensely blessed" as my facebook status states right now. We lost our son, yes. My heart will always ache for him but my heart is overflowing with the goodness of our Almighty God and all the wonderful things He has given us and the plans He has for us.

Super Hero Birthday Bash

The boys had a GREAT time at their party on Saturday. They had an obstacle course for all the prospective super heroes and I think a wonderful time was had by all! It was hot, but it was FUN!

Camron and Caden are 5!

Hard to believe that 5 years ago these 2 little boys were fighting for their lives in the NICU barely weighing 2 lbs each!

They are smart little whipper snappers now who bring such sweet happiness to our lives each day!

It doesn't get much cuter than this!

Jaxon is 7.....wow!

September 23rd marked 7 years since the day I began the BEST job ever...that of MOMMY!

Jaxon had a great day (as did the rest of us!) He is such a wonderful son and an awesome big brother!

Oak Island

Here is a slideshow from our beach trip. We had a great time! The boys played and played. Jaxon caught more fish than Daddy-O and Poppi put together! He also learned to SURF! Following in his Daddy's footsteps! I am so thankful for this trip! I was able to enjoy the warm ocean breeze, the waves, the soft sand all while basking in Gods love and reflecting on the past few months!

Operation 2 piece

As I sit here on the last night of our beach vacation, I feel compelled to share one of the many thoughts I had while enjoying the beautiful sun, sand and waves today. Operation.....(wait for it...wait for it....) 2 PIECE! I decided that for no one other than myself, by next summer, I WILL be able to wear a 2 piece (no not a tankini) and like the way I look in it. There, that's it. Sorry if you were hoping for something with a little more meat...not ready to share those thoughts yet! I will get pictures up once we return!
