From Heaven's Point of View

Today I faced a mountain that I have no strength to climb
And the struggle of this journey's left me weak both in body and in mind
Where I stand to the peak--is a distance on my own I cannot reach
So this journey of a thousand steps begins right here on my knees

Soon I'll soar like an eagle high on wings of grace
Far into the heavens where I can almost see God's face
Rising in His splendor to heights I never knew
What once looked like a mountain's just a hill from Heaven's point of view

I may face things tomorrow I can't comprehend today
Circumstances so uncertain make it hard to find the strength to pray
But I'm living in the promise--I'll never leave you I will always see you through
So, what's this mountain to an eagle flying high
From Heaven's point of view

Soon, I'll soar like an eagle high on wings of grace
Far into the Heavens where I'll see Him face to face
Rising in His splendor to heights I never knew
What once looked like a mountain's just a hill
From Heaven's point of view

My Sick Baby!

Jackson hasn't felt well at all today.... He had a rough afternoon and evening.... Finally, around 7:00 pm, he let me give him a bath and I got some medicine down him as well.... SO.... He's feeling much better now and resting better!

I MISS YOU!!!

I don't like it when you go off... I miss you too bad... It's time for you to come HOME... NOW PLEASE.... Really, I miss you bad and I can't wait for you to come home... I'm excited about our summer and all the time we will get to spend together! We are going to make lots of memories and have FUN! I love you very much, son! YOU are precious to ME!

Report Card Day - Friday May 23, 2008

Before we went to Cheekwood to meet Denise and the kids, we stopped for breakfast and we made a trip to Dawson's school to pick up his Report Card. My son and his silly faces...

Jackson's Incident at Cheekwood.....

First off let me start by saying, my child is not normal...
-
We were walking down a hill to this pond filled with moss and yuckie stuff and Denise and all the kids were in front of me... I had the stroller and it was taking me a little longer to get down the hill than everyone else... so... I heard Denise say "we have to get him" and about that time Jackson popped up out of the water and this lady grabbed him and pulled him out of this pond.
-
Denise said "Jackson jumped in the pond... He had his legs drawn up and his arms in the air and he just jumped right in."
-
Thank goodness, it wasn't that deep... He did go all the way under and he came back up out of the water..... It all happened so fast..... He just cryed and cryed and for the longest after that happened, anything we said to him - he would answer and say " I don't like water".... Poor baby....
-
Only my children.....

Here's the pond - Jackson jumped in....

-

He would have to jump right in the middle of this

mess - instead of a more clear part...

-

Poor baby - it scared him to death...

This was the 2nd thing we looked out...

Jackson was at least cool for the rest of the day....

A Day At Cheekwood.....

Dawson, Jackson and I met Denise, Miquela and Brayden at Cheekwood today.... We had an eventful day.... I twisted my ankle; Dawson fell off the pavement and hurt his back and Jackson... Well, I have to save his incident for another post.... All in all, we had a good day - just extremely hot and we walked a lot... I don't really think Denise and I are outside people either.... Anyway, here are a few pictures from our day.....

IToday was a first time at Cheekwood for all of us... It's really a neat place....
