Trey's Dedication

Well, today is a very special day. It is the day when we publicly say that we commit Trey to the Lord and promise to bring him up in the ways of the Lord. What a huge responsibility. But how exciting to know that one day we will hopefully lead our child to Christ's kingdom. I am not sure there can be any greater joy than to know that you will see your children again in Heaven. I pray that Michael and I can lead lives that will make Trey want to accept Christ and that we can lead him to know that this decision is the biggest decision he will ever make.

Five months ago, being able to dedicate Trey was definately not an event we would be guarnteed to particpate in. It was still up in the air what would happen. But today, I am so excited to be able to participate in this.

The Lord is so faithful and amazing, and I know that He will bring Trey and us through whatever obstacles we may face. So today, I have two verses among many that I feel are especially timely.

"Your faith may not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power."
I Corinthians 2:5

**One of the last days we sat in the hospital in Charleston we were very discouraged. Trey's infection was still a mystery and things were just very blah. I was doing my devotional. I was reading Isaiah 40 and this is the last verse I read. I also realized this was an answer to prayer as I had prayed that Jesus would hold Trey in his arms since I coulddn't. Amazing!!**

"He tends His flock like a shepard, He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to His heart, He genly leads those that have young." Isaiah 40:11

Being Sick

Alright, this is getting absolutely ridiculous. I suppose that my 5 month old is getting some kind of new strains of sicknesses and I keep getting them. Like have rotovirus for 6 days wasn't bad enough, we are now going on day 5 of a sore throat. Nice, Huh! It isn't strep, just allergies, but come on. When I am taking prescription drugs for allergies and tylenol to ease the pain something has got to give. Oh well, such is life.

On a TERRIFIC note, only 25 more days of school. 3 of these days are half days which are a joke. This takes us down to 22. Then of course we have testing for 6 and nothing else much gets done. We are talking like 16..................SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am loving this thought. Hope you are too.

PS here is a new pic of Trey. He is saying mama and has found his feet. Life doesn't get better than watching your son put his feet in his mouth with his socks on!!!!

Sick Babies

Well, we have had our first ordeal with sickness this weekend. Trey started throwing up on Thursday night around 12:30. This picture is actually just a few ours before it all started. He threw up 3 times and then was dry heaving. It was the most pitiful thing. He would finish and grin like a cat. I only wish I had that disposition. Then he threw up again on Friday morning. We could only give him pedialite all day Friday. He was starving. Michael and I were giving him 1 ounces every half hour. He did sleep through the night. Then today has been a lot better. His fever is completely gone and he has been eating milk diluted with pedialite. So things are better now.

I also want to give props to my hubby. He is such a wonderful dad. He just does whatever Trey needs without fussing. I know that he had it rough this weekend because Trey turned into a momma's boy. Hee hee!!:) Anyway, I love you so much Michael. I love to watch you with Trey. You are the best dad!
