Update on the Whitmire Family

I posted last week that my brother and his wife Lisa's babies were born last week. Tuesday Lisa was daiagnosed with congestive heart failure (due to her high rish pregnancy) and the doctors found blood clots on her heart. (due to her being on bedrest for 2 months) As you can imagine, this has been very difficult for our family to take. You can click on their link to read about the latest prayer needs. Please add them to your list! God is good and will get them through all of this!

They are here!

My precious niece and nephews were born on Tuesday. We were able to be there for it all. It was one of the most memorable days of my life. Thank you so much for your prayers! I know everyone wants to see pictures so click on The Whitmire Family. Adam updated their blog last night. Enjoy!!

Moving!

We are in the process of moving so I will be out of pocket for awhile. As you can see, Maggie is having fun while we are packing!

Happy Birthday Maggie!

Sweet Maggie Grace turns 2 today! I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that two years have gone by. It has gone so fast! We had a fun weekend celebrating with family. She really was overwhelmed with everyone watching but loved her presents. She is talking in sentences now and I can actually carry on a convsersation with her which is so fun! I am blessed beyond belief that I have a healthy two year old that is so full of love. Here are some recent pictures of her.

Checking everything out at the party...

What's not to love about this face?!

We have had a great Valentine's weekend. Sweet Maggie has had pneumonia since Thursday. I think that this is the sickest she has been. We have had to do lots of breathing treatments and have been watching either Blues Clues or Clifford for the last three days. My parents came over to watch her last night while Danny and I went to the Straight Street Valentine's Dance and had a great time raising money for an amazing ministry. She is much better today so I am praying we will be better soon!

long time no update

I just looked at the last time i updated and it was Thanksgiving. Sorry about that. The holidays seemed to fly by! We had a such great christmas. Maggie is talking so much now and it was so fun to see her get excited about everything from Cinderella at the fantasy of lights to hear her sing jingle bells and frosty the toeman (snowman) to having tea in her room with Santa to seeing her get so excited to ride in a carriage pulled by "na-nas" (horses) and hearing her say "happy birthday baby jesus". I do not think that you can truly experience christmas until you experience it through a child's eyes. A lot happened in the month of december. We bought a house that we absolutely love and we will be moving sometime in March. We are thrilled about this and so excited to have more room! With an almost two year old, you can imagine how our house is pretty much maggie's toyland. We have yet to sell our house but know that God is faithful and will bring the right buyer along. There have been lots of lookers but still waiting on the perfect one. We were able to see lots of family which is always so fun. I have posted before about my brother and sister in law being pregnant with triplets. Lisa is doing great and is truly a glowing and beautful mother to be. She is in her 19th week and the pregnancy is going good. We found out that she is carrying two boys and a girl. Unfortunately one of the little boys is sick and has most of his vital organs on the outside of his body and will not live once he is born. They have named him Trip. As you can imagine this news has been hard on them and all of our family. But the good news is that the little girl and boy are healthy and doing great. They have named them Charlotte and Henry. Adam and Lisa have such a strong faith and are leaning on the Lord to get them through what is to come in the coming months. They have a blog and the link is on mine so feel free to read about their journey. (The Whitmire Family) It is very inspiring to read and I admire them so much for being so open and honest about what they are going through. As you can see we have had quite a month. Christmas really did take on a new meaning for me. Not only seeing it through a child's eyes but realizing how important Jesus' birth really is. If He had not been born, He would not have lived and been an example to us all. He would not have died in our place and we would not be able to get through the struggles and suffering that we encounter on a daily basis without His strength. He is the ultimate comforter, Father, friend and an ever present help in our time of need. I have taken quite of few pictures and will post them as soon as I download them. I hope that everyone has a happy new year and pray that 2010 brings love and peace to all.
