All who labor and are heavy laden...

We sang this song at church a couple of Sundays ago and I couldn't help but smile. These lyrics have never been so real. I feel very heavy laden and in just 3 short months will be in labor, but thankfully Jesus has promised to give us rest! I hope I didn't take that too out of context, but with pregnancy on the brain all the time these days, some things just strike you as funny!

I'm finally getting around to recapping February and March...Maybe one of these days I'll be caught up to real time!

1) Valentines' - My great co-worker Jennifer and I made cupcakes and served "red" drinks for the teachers. My sweet friend Jenilee had her baby girl Jazmin Elizabeth 3 weeks early on Valentine's Day. Later that evening, Jack and I had a candlelit dinner in the living room next to our fireplace. Funny moment: Jack nearly burning the house down and setting the smoke alarm off just before we sat down to dinner :) Life with Jack is always an adventure! 2/14 Javi, Jazmin and me

Valentine's Treats for our teachers at school. We made cupcakes and served "red" drinks.
Our lovely candlelit dinner (notice the smoke has cleared...smile).


2) We went to Vail, Co over Spring Break with 4 other couples. While it was so hard not to be hitting the slopes, it was still a great trip. Thankfully, I had a friend who was also pregnant to hang out with. We went shopping, rested and got a great prenatal massage. 3/10 - 3/15




1. Lisa and I - the two preggers on the trip. 2. The whole gang. 3. Beautiful view from the top of the mountain. I got to ride the gondola to the top on the last day.


3) Had two awesome Girls Weekends in a row. One trip to Canton and one trip to Amarillo to surprise our dear friend Jordan with a baby shower. 2/3 and 2/17
Our Canton weekend - Only picture I got was of the great breakfast that Stephanie prepared...

Amarillo weekend for Jordan's baby shower. Such fun!!

4) Dress Like a Storybook Character Day at school - We are Thing 1, 2 and 2.5 from The Cat in the Hat... 3/9

5) Fly Lady came to Dallas for a booksigning 3/31. She has this website that helps you cut clutter and clean your house 15 minutes at a time. You can check it out at www.flylady.net

We didn't stay to get her autograph because there was a huge line, but it was cool to see her in person.



6) Celebrating our niece's 16th birthday and getting to hold her sweet 4 month old brother Wilkin.

Sweet Brittany

Too cute!


So that's the recap. Fun times, great memories and lots to be grateful for!
