Fire alarm madness!

WOW! Lat night was not fun! At around 11 pm the fire alarm went off in our building! Steven said get your shoes as he ran into grab baby Noah out of his crib. I quickly found my shoes and put the leash on the dog. As we opened the door our entire floor was running towards the elevators and AWAY from the emergency exit! It seemed like we were fishes swimming up stream! As we were walking the opposite way of everyone else I said out loud "WE'RE SUPPOSE TO TAKE THE STAIRS RIGHT?". Then it seemed like everyone turned around a headed for the stairs! Walking down the stairs from the forth flight with a dog and a baby was not fun! And to make it worse the alarm and strobe were SO LOUD AND SO BRIGHT all you wanted to do was fall on the ground and grab your head! It definitely didn't make it easy leaving in an orderly manner. Thank goodness it was just someone burning too many candles and nothing too serious! The interesting thing was that it took the fire department 10 min to get to us! Do you know that a person is brain dead after just 7 min of not breathing? We live just a block and a half from the department! It was shocking! And then to top it off they seemed to be moving really slowly. Well at least they came and checked to make sure everything was ok. It got me thinking about stevens decision to become a fireman. Looking at these heros come to our rescue in the middle of the night got me envisioning him doing that very same thing not too long from now! Wow, Lord please give me strength and peace!  

A very blessed church

As I was sitting in church yesterday, listening to our OH so animated youth director preach on what he learned on his first trip to Mexico with our youth, I couldn't help but thank God for how blessed we are as a body. We aren't the biggest or wealthiest (monetarily speaking) church out there but we are so blessed with a tight nit family of christ who genuinely love and care about each other more then anything.  It gave me a sense of peace knowing how loved my son is and how blessed he is to be able to grow up in such a wonderful community of christ. The people that paved the way for us to have the freedom that we do, to be able to freely worship our Lord have my ever grateful thankful heart. The Lord really spoke through Happy (our youth director) in such a mighty way. I couldn't help but think what the youth department will be like in 13 years when my precious baby baby boy is up there being taught by such a God loving man! Thank you Happy for following Gods calling, you are a true blessing! And you better never leave VBC! ;)  

owie poowie!

Now I know why there is a special day set aside to honor and adore your mother! After a much too short of a nap my sweet little baby woke up to be fed! while he was feeding he kept looking up at me to smile! I thought oh how sweet you love me! WELL then it happened, his diaper exploded all up his back and all over me!!! After I got him all cleaned up and just about to put his pants back on he got that same little look on his face.....yup he did it again...this time it at least stayed in the diaper. While I was in the process of changing this nasty diaper he then decided it would be a goo time to pee on me, in his mouth on eye!! fearing that he was going to go blind I called my mom to ask if he will be ok. She proceeded to laugh at me and tell me "that there would be many blind men in this world if they would go blind for squirting themselves in the eye!". Thank mom-HAHA!

Wow, this is fun! Now all our family and friends can see what we're up to without having to join any silly website! Well yesterday was Noah's 2 month birthday, man how time flies! We spent the morning at the dr.'s for his well baby check up. Not much fun spending your 2 month birthday getting 4 shots! When we got home he was so traumatized that he spent most of the afternoon sleeping and then most of the evening fussing, poor kid! He is usually the happiest baby ever but yesterday was a little harder then normal. Noah is getting bigger and bigger, cuter  and cuter every day! We are so blessed to have him in our lives, he brings such joy to us each and every day!

Over the last 2 months we have had a baby, moved, steven started school and tobbie had surgery! It has been a couple of months full of relying on Gods power and strength to get us though. Our wonderful church family has been a huge blessing to us in prayer, helping us move, bringing us meals after an unplanned C-section and in much needed monetary gifts! What a blessing to have a family like that in Christ! Well thats all for now! I must nap!
