So here goes...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But don't get your hopes up. It probably won't be a full-blown, daily-posting, diy-inspiring, deep-thought provoking kind of a comeback, mind you. I am currently in the awesome & time-consuming days of mothering my <a href="http://www.mcphersonsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Children" target="_blank">fabulous foursome</a>. So to be totally honest, this could be my post for 2013. :o)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But I do enjoy this avenue of sharing thoughts, encouragement and fabulous foursome stories. I feel like the past year, wait scratch that...make that the past <b>8</b> years, has been such a huge time of growth, that I feel like I should be sharing some of these things! So as time allows, I will post something now and again. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But I'm not promising anything big here people. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Nothin' big. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Between diapers, doctors appointments, dinner prep and the occasional date night...well, you get the picture. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Speaking of, G-man has just made some needs known to this momma...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Mama Mac out. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As many of you know, we moved here to Seattle to prepare for the arrival of <a href="http://www.mcphersonsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Little%20Man" target="_blank">our little man</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And the day is fast approaching.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thursday to be exact.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yes, this Thursday, the 3rd. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">At 8 am. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And so for these past 3 weeks, we have been keeping busy... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Exploring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Playing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Learning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Waiting.</span><br />

<i>Exciting days ahead!!! </i></div>Mrs. Josh McPhersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08626081213680206268noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820037251012273478.post-56533641901631065532012-04-05T18:56:00.000-07:002012-04-05T18:56:52.690-07:00It's a date...<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As many of you know, we had appointments yesterday at U of W for <a href="http://www.mcphersonsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Little%20Man" target="_blank">the little man</a>. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">They consisted of listening to his sweet & steady heartbeat, watching his movements on the NST monitor, talking with his doctors and touring the rooms where he will be born, cared for and treated in when he arrives on his big day. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I was flooded with memories of <a href="http://www.mcphersonsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Ella%27s%20Story" target="_blank">Miss Ella's</a> birth-day almost 7 years ago. We were in a different facility, but much of the teaching, prep & paperwork is the same. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And as He did seven years ago, the Lord seemed to supply an extra dose of peace at every turn. Just another outpouring of His limitless grace. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And along with the peace was a growing excitement for his arrival. Not just excitement, joy! Deep, passionate, intense joy...</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And now, we actually have a date!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>May 3rd. </b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And between now and then, we will wait.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In Seattle.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Without daddy.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Away from our home, family & friends. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But what an adventure it will be...just another part of the little man's story. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Monday (or Tuesday...we aren't exactly sure yet), the children & I (and our sweet nanny, Miss Emily) will move to Seattle until his arrival. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Lord has provided a rental home (fully furnished) about a mile from the U of W and Children's. This is a huge provision!!! We are so very thankful and the kids & I are looking forward to exploring and enjoying the "big city" for a couple weeks. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So here we go...it's a date.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">May 3rd.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And we cannot wait. </div><br />

I have never been (as I'm sure many women aren't) a huge fan of the state of my body during pregnancy. But as she spoke of being sad that she hadn't documented these precious days in her own pregnancy years, I decided to go for it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thanks to her wonderful eye & gift for photography and some grace from her camera lens, I was blessed with these. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I will forever treasure these pictures.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">They capture the days before <a href="http://www.gracecovonline.com/blog/post/news-about-baby-mac--4" target="_blank">our little man</a> arrived. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">They show the joy & anticipation we all have for his arrival.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And they will forever remind me of the miracle that is like no other. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">That of the formation of a little soul in the womb of his mother. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The intricacies of his little body, forming, growing, developing...exactly as His creator planned. And I mean, exactly. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Perfectly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Intentionally.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In our household, it is full of celebrations.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>February 19th, 2001</b>...the day Josh & I were engaged. Snow capped mountains, surprise trails of red roses in the snow, and the man of my dreams down on one knee...with the ring. One of the best days of my life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>February 9th, 2005</b>...the day we found out about <a href="http://www.mcphersonsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Ella%27s%20Story">Ella Mae's</a> diagnosis of Spina Bifida. Life-altering, ground-shaking and faith-refining...but celebratory, because of His grace to let us meet this little girl, raise her and see the joy she brings to so many. She is indeed a reason to celebrate. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And then today we celebrate <b>February 17, 2010</b>...the birth day of Miss Amelia Claire. 2 years ago we were celebrating the end of a difficult & trying <a href="http://www.mcphersonsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Baby%20%233">3 1/2 months of bedrest</a>...days laying flat in bed, hours where it looked as though she would come too early, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">months without my other 2 children & husband, the loss of everyday normalities (like making your own food, sitting upright in a chair or standing. Yup, I even missed standing.) That all ended on February 17th at 11:20am, when this little punkin was born...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zl-IgUJ-TDY/Tz4DZtDWVZI/AAAAAAAABOo/ziDgOJG_RXo/s1600/IMG_0136.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zl-IgUJ-TDY/Tz4DZtDWVZI/AAAAAAAABOo/ziDgOJG_RXo/s320/IMG_0136.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And oh, what a joy she is...and so worth it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Vivacious.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Affectionate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Passionate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Athletic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Smart.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1. Should I be witty? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2. Come up with a riddle?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> 3. Inscribe it in the snow and take a picture for you all to read? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4. Or should I just be blunt and come right out and say it?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Okay...I think I'll go with number four. <br />
Hmmmm, that's funny...number four. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">What could be so significant about that? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well, it just so happens we're expecting baby number four. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yup, there ya go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I just said it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">No wittiness, no riddles to solve, no creative inscription in the snow. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Just blunt, pregnant little me...telling all of you the happy news.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Come May, we will be parents of four. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Four blessings...four miracles...four little people that we get to call our children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We are very thankful. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And so looking forward to meeting number four. </span>Mrs. Josh McPhersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08626081213680206268noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820037251012273478.post-82547531182965780272011-11-07T22:22:00.000-08:002011-11-07T22:22:05.483-08:00My little man...<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My little man. But not so little anymore...</span><br />

But the story must be told.) :o)</i></b><br />
<br />
After 12 years of incredible surprises, epic adventures and romantic outings, you'd think I would get better at figuring it out. You'd think I would know my husband so well that I can tell exactly what he is thinking, even if he is trying to surprise me.<br />
<br />
Nope.<br />
Still can't.<br />
He can still TOTALLY surprise me.<br />
And I love it.<br />
<br />
Thursday night we headed out for our 36 hours of child-free 10th anniversary celebrating "vacation". Blessed by family who took care of our children, then by friends who had a lovely place for us to stay...we were pumped to just be together, celebrating all the Lord has done these past 10 years!<br />
As we are getting ready to leave the house to head to dinner, Josh nonchalantly asks if I want to go on a little hike up Eagle Rock.<br />
<br />
"You know, catch the sunset. You're always wanting to go hike. Let's do it. We'll grab a late dinner."<br />
I say I'm feeling a little tired, but after thinking about it for a very short time, I say "Let's go!"<br />
<br />
Eagle Rock is a special place for us, because 11 years ago, in that exact place is where this man told me he loved me and presented me with a pearl necklace from Hawaii that he had bought at the age of 16. He had saved the necklace to give it to his future wife someday.<br />
<br />
Yes. He did. He really bought it at age 16 and saved it for 7 years until he met me. True story.<br />
<br />
So 11 years ago we had hiked up this same mountain and as we had ventured through the woods, I was directed to follow a trail of red roses all the way to the summit. This led to a wonderful picnic on a breathtaking precipice, overlooking the city. <i> </i><br />
<br />
<b><i>There were candles lit, music playing, and food waiting. The necklace was presented. The story told. And "I love you" was said for the very first time.</i></b><br />
<br />
Be still my heart you say? But wait, there's more.<br />
<br />
Jump ahead with me 11 years to now. An impromptu hike to find the old place we had once been. To remember all the Lord has done and thank Him for his goodness. He lets me lead a while, "which way is it again?", he says.<br />
<br />
I boldly walk on and as we summit the mountain, the sun drops behind the hills and the view is breathtaking. "Let's see if we can find our old spot," I say. So I turn the corner and tucked there in the rock, I see:<br />
<br />
<b><i>Candles lit, music playing and food waiting. </i></b><br />
<b><i>Except this time, a 10th anniversary ring was presented and "I love you" was said over and over. </i></b><br />
<br />
What can I say, the man is amazing. And super huge thanks to some awesome friends, who helped him pull it off, then hiked in to bring us some incredible homemade dessert. The night was a blast.<br />
And I was totally and completely surprised...<br />
<br />
Again.<br />

She was finally here.<br />
And we would never be the same.<br />

</tbody></table>I don't really have any words...except maybe these:<br />
The Lord is good.<br />
He is working.<br />
He is sovereign.<br />
His ways are perfect.<br />
His grace is unbelievable.<br />
His thoughts are greater than mine, His ways higher than any I could ever imagine.<br />
And His love for me...unbelievable. <br />
<br />
So these busy days are full.<br />
Full of goodness. <br />
Full of grace.<br />
Full of joy.<br />

Last year I wrote this <a href="http://mcphersonsblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/on-this-day.html">lovely little tribute</a> to him.<br />
And it's all still true...but even more so as I've grown more in love with him this past year.<br />
<br />
This morning, the kids "surprised" him with breakfast & presents to start his day right!<br />
I took them shopping at the dollar store on Tuesday, then they wrapped their own presents & made the plan for his birthday breakfast. They were soooo excited!<br />

</tbody></table><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I continue to be amazed at the little bundle of 5 1/2 year old goodness, namely <a href="http://mcphersonsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Ella%27s%20Story">Ella Mae</a>, that the Lord has blessed our family with</span>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Over the past couple weeks, we have witnessed her little light shining so brightly, that we cannot even keep up. :o) So for those of you who haven't heard, here's the latest in the life of Ella. Or shall we say, just another day in the <i>amazing</i> life of Ella Mae...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1. She gets to meet & hang out with <a href="http://www.marshillchurch.org/">Mark Driscoll</a>...she loves him, he is moved by her...resulting in his posts about her on facebook (which are commented on by 100+ people, most who don't even know her) as well as his joyful mention of her in <a href="http://www.marshillchurch.org/media/luke/the-coming-of-the-kingdom">his sermon</a> the next day. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2. As a result of her little "debut" via Pastor Mark's sermon, people are encouraged, convicted & touched. She gets invited by a ballerina at the Pacific NW Ballet to come to a performance in June, complete with backstage passes & a chance to meet all the ballerinas. (For as many of you know, ballerinas are her very favorite thing right now!)</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">3. As a thank you for this wonderful gift, </span><a href="http://www.gracecovonline.com/" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">her daddy</a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> writes a note to Pastor Mark to tell him (in Ella's words) how excited she was about the whole thing...which in turn was </span><a href="http://blog.marshillchurch.org/2011/04/21/a-letter-from-ella-maes-dad-sermon-notes-luke-71/" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">posted here</a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> and encouraged even more people. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And now if you ask her, she will tell you she is <i>definitely</i> buddies with Pastor Mark. :o) </span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4. Just this past week, she got to attend a baby shower for her awesome <a href="http://awifespilgrimage.blogspot.com/">Auntie</a>...and during the open prayer time she decided to pray for her Auntie & soon-to-arrive baby boy cousin. Her little voice sincerely & sweetly prayed out with full confidence...prayers for her Auntie who she "just loves so much" and prayers for her little cousin Niyah, "that she won't be scared when mommy goes to have the baby and that she won't cry when Auntie has to take care of the baby". </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">She is absolutely blossoming in her little prayer life and she challenges me, her mommy, with her immense faith & unshakable trust in her Creator. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">5. And then today...another check-up day at Children's. Old pink cast removed...new PURPLE cast put on. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Two more weeks and she will be done with the whole cast thing. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But here's the amazing thing about this little girl...for 6 weeks she has had this cast on and for 6 weeks we have heard nothing but...</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">a joyful heart. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">No complaining.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">No whining.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">No self-pity, sob-story, whoa-is-me drama.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Just plain ole' joyful, bubbly, outgoing Ella Mae...like only she can be. Except she just happens to have a cast on. That's all. No big deal Mom. </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
1. <a href="http://www.gracecovonline.com/sermon/-19---the-gracious--effective--costly--conditional-forgiveness-of-god">This sermon</a> that is chock-full of heart-stirring, repentance-bringing, gospel-centered goodness on forgiveness...it applies to you, trust me. <br />
<br />
2. This <a href="http://www.gracecovonline.com/events/event/36/an-evening-of-gospel-fluency/2011-04-01">upcoming conference</a> that I couldn't be more excited about! In fact, it's happening tomorrow! And I know it too will be chock-full of intense gospel-centered, life-changing, paradigm-shifting teaching. Yes! Bring it on.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://mcphersonsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Baby%20%233">This child</a> and her new found skill of walking...by herself...with no help, thank you very much.<br />
She is everywhere people...you know, that wonderful pigeon-toed, almost-falling-on-my-nose, stumble-like-I-drank-too-much (milk) kind of walk, that is so incredibly cute? Yup, that's what she's doing....and she usually has this little goofy smile on her face while she does it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BOzQExoptJA/TZVZHZTH20I/AAAAAAAAA20/wLdqi-Ppplg/s1600/IMG_0896.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BOzQExoptJA/TZVZHZTH20I/AAAAAAAAA20/wLdqi-Ppplg/s320/IMG_0896.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>4. The thing in the sky called the <b>sun</b> and the wonderful stuff out in the front of our house called <b>grass</b>...it did survive under all that snow! I am thankful that we are seeing more of both of these lately...my heart, my home and my (really white) skin are ready for spring!<br />
<br />
5. <a href="http://awifespilgrimage.blogspot.com/">This woman</a> and all the joys of living with her (and her family)...her sound counsel, her humility, her desire for the Word, her gracious spirit (especially to live with me and all my family!) and her cute pregnant belly of course! She is such a huge blessing in my life...I get teary just thinking about the day we won't get to live together!<br />
<br />
6. <a href="http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/justintaylor/2010/11/03/long-story-short-ten-minute-devotions-to-draw-your-family-to-god/">This little devotional</a> that I've started using in the mornings with the kids. It's been a wonderful age-appropriate, totally-doable, Christ-centered way to start our day! The kids (and I) are loving it...and the conversations I am having with the kids, while we eat our oatmeal, are awesome. Little hearts learning big truths...there is nothing better. :o)<br />
<br />
7. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX2uM0L3Y1A">This song</a>, that has been heard around our house as of late. Usually it is being belted by our 5 year old...there is no sweeter sound I tell ya. <br />
<br />
7. And last but not least, my amazing and totally trustworthy God...who never dissapoints, never fails, never misses a thing...<br />
Who is molding me and making me into something better for His glory & my good...<br />
Who never fails to encourage and sustain when my feeble mind and heart are discouraged... <br />
Who loves me and saved me not because of any "good" that I have done, but because of His incredible grace. Period. End of story.<br />
<br />
And <i>that</i> is the most amazing good of all. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><b><span style="font-size: small;"><i>But<span class="footnote"> </span>God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.</i> <i>Ephesians 2: 4-10</i></span></b></blockquote></div>Mrs. Josh McPhersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08626081213680206268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820037251012273478.post-66936217664045869572011-03-17T09:28:00.000-07:002011-03-17T09:54:25.287-07:00the pink cast...Today we are home rejoicing in the safe and uneventful surgery on Ella's left foot. Thank you to the many who sent text messages, email and FB notes to encourage her little heart. She would beam each time she read one and she said it made her feel "so special". She is now in the infamous pink cast (for 8 weeks) and we are adjusting to life with this new, albeit <b><i>pretty</i></b>, challenge.<br />
<br />
She was, as always,<br />
radiant...<br />
engaging...<br />
respectful...<br />
cooperative...<br />
flexible...<br />
an absolute joy.<br />
<br />
She makes being a mommy (and daddy) the best job in the entire world.<br />
<br />
We love you Ella Mae and are so proud of you for letting Jesus shine through you to others while you were at Children's. We know this pink cast is not your favorite thing, but we are so thankful for your good attitude and cheerful heart in spite of it.<br />
<br />
For the rest of you to enjoy, here's a little "story in pictures" to give you a look at Ella's day...<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">These are my thoughts today. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I want <b>God</b> for my husband. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am so feeble, fickle, selfish and corrupt. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My help will fall short every time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thank you Lord for the chance to be a "helpmate" to this man you have gifted to me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Use me to help him, honor him and love him and may I pray for him with fervent zeal as if his life, <i>our lives</i> depended on it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Our lives do depend on it Lord...for we depend solely on you. </span>Mrs. Josh McPhersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08626081213680206268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820037251012273478.post-68171782718907757762011-02-17T22:42:00.000-08:002011-02-17T22:42:59.876-08:00One year old...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Today I am one.<br />
<br />
I love to smile.<br />
<br />
I like to "talk" really loud so my big brother & sister can hear me.<br />
<br />
I am crawling everywhere and am pulling up on anything that will stay still. Then I like to let go and see how long I can stand. I am getting pretty good at that trick.<br />
<br />
I do not like to take steps when mommy is holding my hands, but I do like to push the chair around the room and take steps.<br />
<br />
I love taking baths and my body almost shakes with excitement when I hear the water running.<br />
<br />
When you say "How big is Amelia?", I like to reach both my hands high up in the air as you say "So big!".<br />
<br />
I love my snuggly yellow blanket and my little stuffed sheep. They are my friends when I am sleeping.<br />
<br />
I like blueberries, apples, pears, yogurt and pancakes. These are my favorite things to eat right now.<br />
<br />
I love to snuggle with mommy, wrestle with daddy, get tickled by Levi and get kissed by Ella Mae.<br />
<br />
I am growing bigger everyday.<br />
<br />
I love my little life.<br />
<br />
Today I am one.<br />
