Happy 1st Birthday, My Little Peanut!!!

I can't believe it's been one year,
since God blessed us and sent you here.
You filled that lonely void in our life,
after Daddy and I became man and wife.

You bring so much joy to all of our days,
with your cute, adorable, precious ways.
With each kiss you give and each hug so tight,
You turn a gloomy day into something bright.

As each year goes by we want you to know,
Our love for you continues to grow.
From your baby days through your toddler years,
We'll continue to be there through your scraped knees and tears.

We couldn't imagine one day without you,
And that's exactly how God knew,
That you were the perfect son for us,
And in knowing that, we truly are blessed!

Written especially for you by me,
Your biggest fan, yours truly,
-Mommy

Your mean so much to us, Caleb Michael! We thank God for you each day and can't wait to watch as you grow throughout the years! We love you so much! Happy 1st Birthday, My Little Peanut!

Praise You in This Storm- Casting Crowns
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms

I was sure by now, God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.

Chorus:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away

Chorus

I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Chorus

New Post!

Sorry for the delay between posts, but I'm really bad at this whole blogging thing! Anyway, here is some news from LAST week!

--------------

Over the past week, we've had many sleepless nights here at the Flack House...yes, Caleb cut his first tooth AND THEN his second within days of each other! I felt so bad for him...he was just downright miserable for many days! Luckily, now that the teeth have poked through, he has slept through the night for the past two nights! YAY!:-)

--------------

My first prenatal appointment last Friday, October 12th, went great! With the cramping and spotting that occurred throughout last week, I was really nervous and concerned for the baby. It turns out everything is just fine! Praise God! My doctor gave me an estimated due date of April 15th (yes, Tax Day!). The baby's heart rate was in the 150's at my appointment (maybe a girl this time???). Either way, we're very excited and anxiously awaiting our baby's arrival! As with my last pregnancy, David and I have decided that we want the sex of the baby to be a surprise until the delivery. (We think it's more fun this way!)

Apple-picking!

Last Saturday, while David was at work, I decided to take Caleb apple-picking with my mom, my sister, and her two little girls. This was Caleb's first time apple-picking and he loved it! He was so funny! Every time I picked an apple off of the tree, he laughed hysterically! He thought it was the greatest thing! We're looking forward to going again soon!:-)
