More Pictures.......... Jonathan's 4th Birthday Party

It has been a long time since I have written a blog. Lots has been going on - Christmas, traveling to Lubbock, celebrating Jonathan's 4th birthday, and last (but the most likely reason for the lack of blogs) a new baby and me being constantly sick because of the pregnancy. So where do I begin? I guess I could start with us finding out that we are expecting a new baby due in July. I am currently 12 weeks. We were somewhat surprised with the news (it was about 6-12 months sooner than I had planned), but we are excited. Jadon and the baby will be almost exactly 2 years apart. I have been very sick and that has been hard. I move slower and can't seem to get anything done. I have medicine that the doctor gave me so I have to make a choice - I do not throw up but I cannot function because I am so sleepy (due to the meds) or I feel horrible. It has been hard but I pray that I am close to the end of this phase. It is very humbling to constantly feel so bad, it makes me thankful for the health that we do have and to pray that we all stay healthy. Having a healthy body is such a blessing. We will find out what the sex is. Both Jesse and I feel like this might be a girl . I guess we will know in about a month.
So now Christmas - we had our little family Christmas on the Saturday morning before Christmas day. It was a lot of fun. Then we loaded up the car and drove to Lubbock. We stayed in Lubbock for a week. We enjoyed being with my family and seeing our friends. It was a good and joyful time. Of course, Jonathan and Jadon had a great time playing with their cousins. Jonathan got an electric train from Grannie and Pop and he LOVES it. We also had a birthday party for Jonathan in Lubbock with my family. He wanted a spiderman cake and he was so excited. I cannot believe that he is 4 years old. Time is going so fast!
When we came home from Lubbock Jesse took some time off from work. We celebrated Jonathan's birthday again - this time on his actual birthday - January 8. I made him a cake and he wanted to go to Chucky Cheese. We are trying to get back into the swing of things here in Dallas. We still do not feel that at home here but we are trying. We are thinking about making some changes at church in hopes to feel more connected. We have not been very consistant these past few months because of travel and sickness. Hopefully we can get back to normal soon.
I pray that we are continually seeking God's will and that we are listening to His voice. I am so thankful for my beautiful family - for my husband who was just sitting here next to me on the couch reading me the Bible, asking me questions to make sure I was listening :). I am so blessed.
