Please Pray For Tatum

I would like to ask for your prayers tonight for a precious little girl and her family. We are actually in Corpus Christi for two days with my folks when I got a call this afternoon about some friends of ours at church. I'm putting this on our site because by now the news has gotten out and I can be certain no friends of their family are finding out this info via our blog.

Last night Mandy and Michael found out that their youngest daughter-Tatum-has leukemia. This has all happened so fast. I honestly don't have every single detail but I do know that they need a tremendous amount of prayer. Mandy (her mom) took Tatum to the doctor yesterday after not having felt well for a few days and she ended up being life-flighted to Cooks Children's last night. Today they tested her bone marrow and inserted a port for chemo treatment. They were possibly starting chemo tonight or in the morning.

Mandy, Michael and Olivia (her older sister) are going to need a lot of prayers to be strong and feel the peace our Lord can provide in the coming weeks and months. They are being surrounded by so many friends and family right now, but I hope everyone of you reading this will pray for this sweet family right now. They are certainly strong but, as many of you can attest, these roads can be unimaginably difficult. My prayer is that they don't have to travel it alone. Thank you for petitioning the Father on their behalf.

Sweet Tatum, you are being prayed for all over tonight. You are so loved.

Starting My 7th Month

First of all thank you to so many of you that are diligently praying for our baby boy. Our last sonogram this past Thursday revealed that he is still growing perfectly and that the placenta has actually moved up to a better position.
I went today to get my glucose test, check my platelets and also watch my epidural video. Where as with my other pregnancies this was a drag to go and do, I felt some excitement that I was "getting" to go these things.
We still are having a hard time with the name so any suggestions would be great! So far we like
Liam
Pierson
Pierce
Myles (lee doesn't like this one but I love it)
Cade
Jax (as a middle name)
And I think that's all for now, at least that's all I can remember

On a side note: Is anyone else watching Michael Jackson's funeral right now? Don't get me wrong I know ALL the words to "Man in The Mirror" and so many other songs but OH MY GOODNESS this funeral is crazy. I feel like I should wear my sparkly glove just to watch this on tv. He was an amazing singer, dancer and performer but I'm pretty sure our President's wouldn't get a going away party like this.
I pray that his kids will not have to go through a huge legal battle. Loved the guy but not having a will, seriously???
Ok, so I better stop before a raving fan goes off on my blog.

Happy Birthday Leslie Mayo

One of my good friends Leslie Mayo is the big 30 today and I wanted to give her a shout-out!!! She is one of the coolest girls I know and one the most blog-reading chicks I know. She knows the scoop on everyone through their blogs. As a blog writer (who's not much of a blog reader unfortunately) I give her props for keeping up with everyone!

Leslie, I hope you have an amazing day and that you feel blessed beyond measure. I hope we can have another Starbucks night really soon and even maybe a little shopping spree at our favorite store (HAHA!)

Happy Birthday to a beautiful women, wife and mom!
Love ya
Steph
