3 year old buddies
When Lucas was 10 months old, I went back to work briefly. I taught pre-k for a private learning school. Luke was enrolled in the early learning program. That's where Luke met his very 1st friend. lol. But seriously, Tony and his family were the only good thing that came out of that experience ;)
According to Luke's teacher, he and Tony hit it off from the very beginning. They would crawl around and chase each other and play every day together. After 1 year of teaching, we decided I would go back to being at home w/Luke. To keep a story short, Tony's parents and I had lunch after church one Sunday about Tony and by that monday, I was watching him at my house. (They were not happy about his care at the previous center) We were on the same page about watching to teach our children, by letting them explore and learn by play. I dove into the new life change head and heart first. Its been over a year now that I have been watching him in my home and I love it!
There is no possible way I can keep this blog and no make an entry solely dedicated to Tony! He and Luke are so close. They are best buds, partners in crime, toddler testers, etc. lol. I have been so blessed to get to watch them grow and play on a regular basis. We have lots of memories and Lukes picture books are filled with pictures of Tony and Luke. Playing at the Science Spectrum, almost every park in Lubbock, hiking, eating pizza, jumping on the bed, etc...all together with big ol' smiles on their faces!
Luke and Tony,
I hope both of you boys will still be friends when you're 16, 18, 21 years old. You make my day with your "boyish" daily antics! I love how ya'll 2 have your own languages together, which includes a little evil laugh at the end. It's been a blessing to teach both of you many early lessons in life. Some of your favorite things to do together: play trucks in the back yard, make mud and roll around in it like lil piggies, play at the park, eat watermelon (both are fruit lovers!) jump on the bed, & play super-heros. Tony, you are always Spider Man. And Luke, you are always Super Man.
Our family loves you and your family Noah Antonio!

A good day gone bad..
Yesterday was bit of a difficult day.
As I was cleaning out my purse, I found an appt card. Yesterday, we were supposed to have a sonogram to find out the sex of our baby. It was an instant slap to my face. A kick in the tummy. A heart broken again. I cried for about 10 minutes straight. Not the kind of cry that is controlled. It was like I felt the pain of loosing a baby all over again. An instant reminder of how broken I have been over the past month.
Ironically, I had visited with my good friend, Samantha, the night before. Sam shared a book, "Heaven is for Real".
When I was taking Luke outside to enjoy a beautiful afternoon I saw the book sitting on the kitchen table. I picked it up and outside we went. I had no idea the many messages God was going to share with me through that book. Not knowing anything about the book, I dove into it heart first. I will not ruin the book for anyone who has not read it by sharing the story. But, I will share that many of times throughout the book, I was reminded how God is in control. I was reminded that there is no better place to be in the world than in the hands of the son of God. I have a very strong faith, and I know I will get to see my babies again. ( I have lost 2 babies within the past 4 years.) I have hurt, but I have never questioned God on whether or not my babies were safe. I have always known they were. I choose to believe in our God. I choose to believe I will get to hold our babies again. One day. Until then, I will love and appreciate all that God has blessed me with on this Earth.
While I was cooking dinner, I had another crying time with Justin. While he held me, he reminded me as well, that God loves us even when we feel we are being punished. That His needs for us outweigh our needs for our own self. It's a good reminder to have every once in awhile =)
*In closing, I would completely recommend that book to anyone who has not read it! I laughed and cried my way through it lol. Big messages through 4 year old eyes! I went to bed last night in peace. Partly because of my MAVS win lol...but mostly because of the messages I received from our God yesterday. It's all going to be okay. Life will be okay, if I give up my own needs more often and let God work.
