Update on the Baby Room, and other stuff.
Well, we have the painting done. The color is called "Shy Blossom" and is a springy green. I love it! Next step is to put Roman shades up that I found on potterybarnkids.com. L and I are going to our first baby class called "Baby Basics" to teach, well...the basics. I am excited about this new chapter in our lives. She has been kicking like crazy lately. She even woke me up last night with some kicks in the sides. The one thing L and I keep on saying is how crazy all this is and how awesome God is to make something so wonderful inside a woman's belly! Here's a link http://www.babycenter.com/6_your-pregnancy-27-weeks_1116.bc to show what all is developing at 27 weeks. What got me is that she can open and close her eyes now. How amazing *sigh... I will post some pics later of the room and such.

Brooke Fraser
If you are looking for some new songs to put on your ipod or an artist that will speak to your heart you need to check out Brooke Fraser. She is a native of Sydney, Australia and is like the pop star of Australia right now. She also sings and write songs for Hillsong. Songs like "None But Jesus" "Lead Me To The Cross" and "Hosanna". I love her music so much and wanted to share her with the blogger world if you have no clue who she is. Check out the video below to the song Shadowfeet. I love what they did with this song in the video. The song speaks of being found in the Lord when everything is falling around. Check her out! I love this girl.
Shadow Feet
Walking, stumbling
On these shadow feet
Toward home, a land that I've never seen
I am changing
Less and less asleep
Made of different stuff than when I began
And I have sensed it all along
Now fast approaching is the day
When the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I'll be found in you
There's distraction
Buzzing in my head
Saying in the shadows it's easier to stay
But I've heard rumours of true reality
Whispers of a well-lit way
You make all things new
Shadow Feet
Walking, stumbling
On these shadow feet
Toward home, a land that I've never seen

I'll be found in you, still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I'll be found in you
There's distraction
Buzzing in my head
Saying in the shadows it's easier to stay
But I've heard rumours of true reality
Whispers of a well-lit way
You make all things new

Nursery
The Preparations are about to begin....
There seems like so much to do before she gets here!
I have been trying to settle on nursery colors and such. These are two rooms I found on potterybarnkids.com. Two different greens for the walls. I really do like the dark furniture.
So I am trying to decide between the looks of these two nurserys. If she really turns out to be a girl (we get another sonogram in April) I will accent with pink and brown. If not we can always accent with other colors for the boy look. What do you girls out in the blogging world think between the two? I need imput on which colors....
Here is the first. The lighter side of the green. I like the look with the chandelier, soft pinks, and the vintage toile...
Here is the brighter fun green. I like this one too.

V-Day
The Celebration of love.....
What a beautiful evening Lennon treated me to! He suprised me by taking me to the River Terrace for a candlelight dinner with filet minon and a delicious chocolate cake with cream and a strawberry. You can't have Valentines without chocolate. It was very romantic and full of laughter. We must be getting old because we were planning on a movie afterwards at the theater but it sounded better to both of us to just watch a dvd at home and rest. I love this man. He is so good to me. What more could a pregnant girl want?

Sonogram
Finally, I got the sonogram pics on a disc! This is our little girl. (Well 85% it's a girl) which we are very excited about! I can't wait to see her! The first picture shows her face looking right at you and then you can see her elbow, belly and legs. I'll have another one in about 10 weeks! It was so amazing seeing her move her little feet and arms.
THIS ONE IS WHAT TELLS US SHE IS A GIRL:

What He Does
He brings me joy
He brings laughter to my heart
Which he has stolen.
It sounds crazy but I don't think
Two people were more meant for each other
He knows my weakness
He knows my strength
With who He finds the same strength in.
The Lord knew what He was doing
When He brought us together.
He loves who I am
He loves who I want to be
More like Christ.
I will love him as much as I can
With the time God has given us on this earth.
I love you Lennon. Like we have said to each other before, I am glad we didn't end up with anyone else but each other. You are the love of my life and I am better with you than without.
Christal

Found
Yes He is back! Our little Ranger has been found. We put an add in the paper and it came out just yesterday. Then after church we got a call saying that they thought they have our dog that was in the paper. When we got there to pick him up he was so excited to see us and how much I wanted to be upset with him for getting out but I just loved on him. So now no more wondering...thank the Lord. We are a complete family once again. Here is an older pic of him at 6 months, he is now 10 months.
