Impossible prayer answered!

Not sure why I haven't blogged about this...God definitely deserves praise for this! This spring we had a speaker on campus encouraging us to make an impossible prayer list and really pray in faith. So that night we did. On our way home Drew and discussed what we each had on our list. We each put a family vehicle on our list, because with Dax coming soon we could barely fit our stoller into the trunk...let alone everything else we would need when we travel with him. Well, we spent time praying together as we drove home from Nav Night and asked God to provide us with a family vehicle. THE NEXT MORNING my dad called (he did this secretly between he and Drew) and asked Drew if we were in the market for a family vehicle. NO ONE knew we had just prayed for this the night before, so Drew nearly fell off the bed when my dad asked him that. Drew said we just started praying for one and my dad said, "well, I bought a new Sequoia and instead of trading my old one in I thought you might like to have it since your family is expanding." So when they came out to meet Dax for the first time the surprised me by giving us this 8 passenger amazing vehicle...leather interior, heated seats, sun roof...AMAZING! God continues to do immeasuralby more than we could ask or imagine.

The joys of motherhood

This is one of the MANY times that Dax has spit up down my shirt. Its funny how he finds a way to miss the burp cloth and spit up all over me. Oh well...its only a season...right?

Dax-a-Doodle is 2 months!

Its hard to believe 2 months have already gone by! We love Dax so much and are having more fun with him as each day passes by. He is becoming so interactive now. He is smiling and cooing all the time...I could sit with him forever and just "talk" to him.

Haugs come to visit!

My sister, her husband and their four kids came to visit us in Colorado just before the 4th of July. We had a great time with them...Jack got taken to the hospital after a wild ride on a sheep during Muttin Bustin at the Granby Rodeo...he did get first place though. The first pictures are daddy just being silly with Dax...we were laughing at all the hysterical things we could take pictures of since he can't say "no" yet. He is so fun!

Dax is 1 month!

Just a few pictures of the cutest boy ever! I cannot believe its already been 1 month, and yet I feel like Dax has always been with us. Those pics of him smiling aren't just flukes...he smiles all the time!

Here is just a glimpse of Dax falling asleep. Who knows what he is thinking of or seeing in his dreams. We always pray that the LORD would reveal Himself to Dax while he sleeps, and by these smiles we think He is answering our prayers.

New pics of Dax

He may hate me for this someday, but who can resist this cute little bottom! This was just before bath time with daddy.

I walked into Dax's room this morning noticing that he fell asleep really quick. Low and behold, he has discovered his thumb! How cute it this!

Thank you, Miss Courtney and Mr. Raphael for my froggy blanket!

New discoveries

Dax has officially discovered his tongue and loves to stick it out and lick his lips all the time. Notice, he clearly has mommy's very big lips...his are a little overexagerated in this pic:)

We also finally have a belly button! Mommy hated waiting for the umbilical cord to dry out...she would rather change a hundred dirty diapers than see that thing again! We love our Dax! We are working hard at getting him on a schedule. Last night he slept for 4 hours than fed and then slept another 4 hours. Mommy feels like a new woman today!
