Baby Jesus was born!

Christmas was more about the birth of our savior this year than anything else, and I Ioved knowing that Jack understood that.  We explained to him what Christmas was really all about and he took in all the details and surprised us to tell you the truth.  Before we knew it he could retell the whole story and would randomly talk about how excited he was that baby Jesus was going to be born.  Madeline on the other hand…just went with the flow :)   

Christmas eve and morning were so exciting because Jack totally understood that Santa was coming to leave him presents and he was just tickled to death about it.  It was precious! 

Getting ready for Christmas Eve mass! Notice my belly is definitely growing!  I’m 29 weeks now….so 10 weeks to go since I’ll be have another c-section at 39 weeks!  We are so excited for Brennan’s arrival!

Making cookies for Santa with MiMi!  The kids loved every part of making & decorating the cookies.  In fact…my kids love to cook!  They pull chairs up to the counter at every opportunity to help me cook. 

Nana & MiMi with the kids! So sweet!

Santa brought Madeline all the baby stuff in the world.  She absolutely loves taking care of her babies.  Brad and I love to watch her in action.  Its so sweet and natural!

6 Year Anniversary

Hello All!

It's actually Brad this time(hacking into Rebecca's blog unbeknownst to her).

Today is our 6 year anniversary and as you can tell from her posts, we have been extremely blessed by a beautiful, healthy, and happy family.

I want to thank Rebecca for being SO strong through our marriage and my training over the past many, many, years. She has been absolutely everything I could have ever asked for.

Be placed wherever my training dictates...done, taking care of the finances...done, being an amazing daughter and sister...done, putting up with me at times...done, keeping up with our home everyday...done, showing her faith in God during very tough times...done, and last(but certainly not least) showing the way for 2 kids under four 24 hours a day while pregnant and I'm working 60-80 hours a week...done.

You are truly an amazing woman and I am absolutely blessed to have such a strong best friend through this beautiful life.

THANK YOU and I love you!!!

Little Loves

Oh my goodness they are getting so so so big!  I just can’t stand it!  And in 14 weeks we’ll have another monkey to add to the mix. 

Life is so good!

It’s a wonderful life, but a busy one!

It’s been awhile…I know.

I don’t know what happened, but all the sudden my free time started to slip away.  I had Madeline…and got the “mom of two” thing down…then Madeline became a toddler rather than a baby and things changed. 

I. Am. So. Busy.

I never really have much time to blog or talk on the phone. 

We are alive over here though in the Bawcom household, and we are happy & healthy & thankful for all of God’s blessings!  Here are some pictures of our latest days of just living!

Pumpkin Patch

We were in Lake Charles for Halloween this year!  While we were there we hit up a local pumpkin patch & then a Halloween parade!  It was tons of fun & I was able to snap away and get some pictures of the kids!

20 weeks pregnant! Half way there!!!

Jack moved pumpkins the whole time we were there!  Getting him to look at the camera was no easy task!
