ABC Easy As 123

In our house we are big fans of Michael Jackson's music. Jalon is starting to recognize when Michael Jackson comes on...here's a video of his wild dancing to some good music.

Jalon's Hobby

Update

Well, I am about a week and a half from my due date and I sure thought this baby would be here by now :) But they do come on their own timing so I'm not that surprised. Thankfully, I have felt pretty good the past couple days so I'm not as anxious as I had been. I know the timing will be the best when she gets here. We are ready for her to make her grand entrance....nursery is set up, her laundry is washed, bassinet and pack and play are set up, bags are packed...just waiting on her to make a move.

Jalon is doing great. He keeps asking when his baby sister will get here. He told his grandma the other day "Baby sisters take a long time to get here." He is going to be a great big brother and keeps telling me all the things he wants to do for her and with her. I love it.

Little Jalon's heart blesses us so much. We can already see his care for people. Whenever we go to parks or are in settings with other kids, he looks for opportunities to help his "friends" (all kids he calls "friends"...even if he's never talked to them. He loves being around other kids. This social trait comes from his Daddy ;) If he doesn't see something to help with, he'll ask "do you need any help?" Of course, he's still a child, where foolishness is bound, but we love his giving, sweet heart.

Here are a few current photos and videos.

38 Weeks

Thank You God!

Today we were in a store looking for purple paint and I couldn't find it. Jalon stopped in the middle of the store, closed his eyes and said, "Thank you God for finding the purple paint. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." And then continued walking. I, on the other hand, stood in my tracks, in awe of our wonderful son. This may seem small or silly to some, but to me, this was a testimony of all the work we have put into our child, teaching him to love God and to go to Him first in all we do. No matter how big or small our problem is, God is there to take care of us and show us our way. And that He did. Within a minute, we found the paint. It was a teaching moment for me to show Jalon that God hears our prayers. As we walked away, looking for the next thing on our list, Jalon said out loud, "Thank you God for helping us find the purple paint." I love days like this that show us that all our hard work is paying off to shape a wonderful young man. Thank you God!!!

Video finally

Jiggy Jalon

Here's a couple pictures of us dressed up. I tried to pull my dress in the last shot to get a pic of my ever growing belly. I'm only 6 months pregnant but I feel like I'm about 8...not complainin', just sayin'.

What's New?

It's been a while since I've been on here, so...what's new with us? Not too much really. We are all doing great though. Jalon is a growing boy. His favorite pass time is to ask questions about things. If you don't answer him in terms he understands, he'll continue to ask that same question until you do. It's fun :) We've gotten good at being specific and detailed when we answer him and that usually does the trick. We love his curious mind.

I'm 26 weeks pregnant and all things are going well with that. I have had some aches and pains but all in all nothing to complain about. This little girl is a active one; especially at night...uh oh :) We can pray she figures out that's a time for sleeping before she arrives!

Here are a couple pictures and videos of recent times. Warning, the video is a little long but there are some cute moments.

Jalon chillin' with our temporary house guest the day before she (and her family) depart.Jalon made a few crafts with his "Aunt" Sarah. They made candles here.
