I have really been working on praying with Parker. We pray in the car almost every where we go. It sounds like this:
P (meaning Parker): Momma, let's pray
m(meaning Mommy): Okay Parker, what do we need to pray for
P: the red light and green light and orange light (yes, I know it is yellow, but he calls it orange)
m: Dear God (parker echos), thank you for red and yellow and green lights
P: and orange lights mommy
M: yes and orange lights. Thank you for keeping us safe. Amen
P: Let's say another prayer
M: what do we need to pray for this time
P: for mommy and daddy, and my sister named Emaline
M: Dear God, thank you for mommy and daddy and Parker's sister named Emaline. Please help us get well. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for Jesus. Amen
P: and the cross mommy
M: yes babe and the cross
P: Mommy, can we say another prayer
M: of course
P: Pray for the trees and the grass and our decorations
M: Dear God, thank you for making the trees and and the grass and all the animals that live in the trees and the grass, and help us remember our decorations are to remember Jesus Christ. Amen
P: Mommy can we say another prayer for our preschool and Malaya's school
M: Sure, Dear God,.......
This goes on the entire car ride. I thank God that my son is soaking it all in and is learning to be thankful. Help me to be the same.
You should have heard him retelling the Garden of Eden today as well. That silly snake was all over the place, even playing with sticks with Adam. His imagination is going CRAZY right now. SO FUN!
I just found out about an old neighbor who is pregnant. It is one of those baby stories like...we moved, and now I am 6 months pregnant!!!! She didn't even know. The baby isn't moving it's arms and legs...I will attach what I received. Please say a prayer for them. We love you AMY!!! and or course the rest of the family.
After a sonogram they sent me to a specialist because he wasn't moving his arms or legs so went to for an amnio and they thought the baby (it's a Boy! Lincoln James) wouldn't make it because it all pointed to Trisomy 18 or 12 which is fatal. the amnio came back fine all chromosones are there and now they are searching for another "problem". The Dr. said we will schedule a C-section probably a week before my due date which is Feb. 18th just in case he has any problems with his legs or arms to help out the baby. I am measuring exactly where I should at 30 weeks and his heartbeat is good - I feel him move quite a bit and all organs, spine and brain look good too.
We are very hopeful about everything and know he is a gift from above and whatever happens we will take care of him! Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
After it all has finally sunk in we are all getting ready for our "little brother" in this house full of girls - & I think Larry will be excited for some male interaction!
Thank you so much for all the Love & Prayers,
Larry, Amy, Maddi, Lanie & Lincoln

I LOVE him!! You are such a good mommy!
Sweet Parker. You gotta love those times.
Don't you get tickled at their perceptions about prayer and God, and other times, though, blown away by how clearly they understand what we struggle with? Just think how these times of praying for streetlights and trees and whatnot are helping him know his Father cares about everything in his life, and you get to be part of that teaching process. Aren't we blessed! Your blog is so much fun (and encouraging) to read!
Sweet Parker prayers. I will say a prayer for your friend.
That is too sweet. It is so much fun to watch them grow.
