Today my Little Man is 8-Months-Old! I can't believe it! This has been a fun month! He is doing new things each and every day and has the sweetest and funniest personality. Here are some of the highlights from this month! We heard Jackson belly laugh for the first time. He loves his dog and got SO cracked up watching her. It was the sweetest sound I have ever heard! Jackson learned how to turn his music off and on in his crib and his way of doing it included kicking the music player. Continue Reading
A Trip Home to the Lone Star State
A BIG thank you to Kayse and Jen for guest posting on my blog while I was enjoying some time with family and friends in the Lone Star State! I can't help but crank up the country music as I drive south on I-35. Jackson got introduced to some classic country music on our trip and his mommy's love for singing! I've lived away from Texas for 10 years, yet every time I cross the border I feel as if I'm home! Where's home for you?? After being gone for five days, I feel a little out of sorts! Continue Reading

Faithful – Guest Post by Jen Buckner
Hello, new friends! It’s Jen here, and I had the awesome privilege of meeting Jennifer a couple of weeks ago at She Speaks. While we were there, we enjoyed many moments, and Jennifer shared her heart about the amazing ways that God has answered her prayers. When I think of her, I consider the faithfulness of God in response to her genuine faith, and I’m thrilled for this journey she is on. I want to first say what a blessing she is (can I get an AMEN?!) and then to take a moment to encourage Continue Reading
Lessons from the Rainbow Fish
The other day Jackson received a package in the mail! Inside were several wonderful children's books from his birth mother. What a fun surprise! Jackson loves when we read books and we go to story time at the local library every week. One of the books he received was, "The Rainbow Fish." It was one that I had been meaning to add to our collection and one that I hadn't read in quite some time. Jackson and I cuddled up to read about the adventures of the colorful fish. Jackson squealed with Continue Reading
