The other day it happened. He started to crawl!!  Slowly at first but he is definitely  starting to get the hang of it!

My life will never be the same again! *grin*


He is a little over six and a half months old! Where has the time gone? Definitely trying to her ish each and every moment! It really does just fly by!!

Friday, November 9, 2012-my little man took another step towards growing up...

In July one of my best friends in the world Rebecca was able to come and visit us with her husband for a few days. It was so much fun!

One of the days we spent at a park by in our area and she was able to take some family pictures.

Recently she has been really working to get her photography business up off the ground and yesterday she was able to edit and post our pictures!

















Please check out her photography business-JuReam Photography!

You can visit her blog for more information here at Butterfly Days.

I am not really a political person. Meaning: I do not like confrontation or the possibility of making someone upset. Today, however, I am going to risk that for him:


But wait...it says that is a baby! But according to its gestational age which is nine weeks it is not a baby-if we want it to not be. If we want that little peanut of a being then YES!!! It is a BABY!!!! But what of the baby that no one wants?

Society has decided that it is exceptably to just get rid of it in such a way that it will never be a "problem" again...they kill it.

Life...one of our basic rights and yet millions have been slaughtered without much remorse.

Abortion kills and destroys not only the innocent babies but also the lives of the mother (more on that in a later post).

My heart breaks for these precious children that have never been given a chance to really live. My heart breaks for their Mama's who will never know the joy of holding them in their arms, that first smile, the first laugh...

My heart breaks.

But then I wonder what can I do?

Well, there is something I am going to do on Tuesday and that is this:

I am going to vote for LIFE.

I have started following an organization called Live Action and yesterday they sent out an email and I felt compelled to share it with all of you:

"When discussing the candidates and the issues at stake with your family and friends, there are five things that you should make sure they know about President Barack Obama.

1) President Obama voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act FOUR times, horrifyingly voting against protecting babies who survived abortion
 and voting in favor of leaving them to die
 -- a vote against this legislation was a vote for infanticide. [Source]

2) On his third day in office, President Obama repealed the pro-life "Mexico City Policy". By doing this, President Obama made groups that perform and promote abortion eligible for U.S. foreign aid funds. [Source] 

 3) Planned Parenthood's funding jumped from 33% to nearly 50% -- over $487 million in taxpayer funding now goes to the abortion giant (under Obama and his administration). This is almost half a billion dollars that American families are forced to pay in tax dollars to the nation's largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood. [Source]

 4) President Obama refused to sign an emergency budget, putting funding the military at risk, until Planned Parenthood funding was included in the budget. This was following Live Action's Sex Trafficking investigation, showing Planned Parenthood aiding and abetting the sex traffickers of underage girls. [Source]

5) The President has pushed for his 'pet legislation', The Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), which would help fund 'community health centers' (Planned Parenthood is their prime target). Additionally, the HHS mandate would force all Americans to fund abortion and contraception, with no exceptions for religious institutions nor religious individuals who are vehemently against abortion and contaception. [Source]

 Please continue to engage your friends and family, and encourage them to vote for life. Nothing is more fundamental to a society than the right to life. Life must come first when casting our ballot on Tuesday November 6th. Have you pledged to Vote for Life?"
We must do something to stop this massacre of millions of babies!! We as Christians are called to defend those who cannot defend theirselves! What are we doing about it?

As for the other candidates in this election-where do they stand on the issue of LIFE? Check out this article here: Live Action Insider Guide to the 2012 Election.

This is Saturday and I have decided (in an effort to make blogging more regular around here) to make Saturdays the day that I share with you some of my favorite posts from fellow bloggers that have encouraged me or impacted me in some way.

So here we go:

I love my friend Callie from over at Through Clouded Glass! She is such an inspiration to me! One thing she has inspired me to want to try is a gender reveal party for whenever our next little one decides to come along! Check it out here: "Our Second Gender Reveal Party."

Through my sister Jen's friend Sarah I was able to meet September McCarthy from over at One September Day. What a blessing she is! And an inspiration! Truly she is one of those people I walked away from going: "Wow, someday when I 'grow up' I want to be like her." When I first checked out her blog her story really impacted me. Check it out here: "The Refiner's Fire-Our Story".

Ok, this is just a fun blog that I love but here it goes. I love the Duggar family! They are such an inspiration to me and I really enjoy their show! I recently found this blog with updates about them and videos and thought I would share it with you. Check it out: Duggar Family Blog.

This post from The Purposeful Wife on holiday cleaning actually really helped me! It has some great links to so cleaning schedules and is a great resource! Check it out here: "Your Holiday Cleaning Plan..."

Have fun reading! I will be on the look out this next week for some links to share with you all next Saturday!

What are some posts that have impacted you lately? I would love to hear about them!

Blessings!
