O magnify the Lord with me; Let us exalt His name together!
Jane has been sitting up for about a month now and I am so proud of her. She is getting ready to be 6 months on the 24th. She is doing so well. Look out Emma here she comes. Check out my baby. She is so big and strong. Go Jane!!
she is so sweetI love my Jane Adair
I know most of you checkout our blog to see those two sweet babies that I am honored to call mine, but before you get to see them I’d like you to read my ramblings. Life as a mom has been an up hill, learning experience for me. It has been such a time of relying on the Lord. I know God has carried me through these last 2 years as a mom. God new what the plan was when Kyle and I married – 2 babies in 2 years 
– and I am so overwhelmed with humble love for that.
We are now entering into toddlerhood with Emma Jean. She brings me to tears with laughter more times than I can count. She’s an example of pure joy. To see her laugh makes me blubber. If I love her this much, how can I even explain God’s love for us.
My sweet baby, Jane Adair. She’s 4 months old and beginning to roll over and sit up on her own. I feel like I’m constantly looking at Kyle made over. She’s fun to sit and watch and just listen to. Miss motor mouth! She talks all the time. We are not sure at what or about what, but she’s a bit of a talker!
God has made my heart so big. It’s funny how much your time gets spread thin but your love and joy increases with more kids. Can anyone say L-U-K-E?! No, were not pregnant but I’ve already got the itch.
Quick question for anyone who can help – I am begining to look into some preschool prep material. I want to get Emma going on some school stuff later this year. Does anyone know of any good books or other resources I should look at to use with her? If you know of anything, please let me know.
Thanks and enjoy!
For those who’ve not heard yet, the pastor of my home church and his son were killed in a plane crash early Monday morning. The family just received word today because of the difficulty search teams had in getting to the crash site. Please be in prayer for the Pollock family. He and his wife Dawn had 5 other children besides Preston, all under the age of 16. You can read more about the situation at the church’s website or at the Tampa affiliate for CBS.
Kyle and I have had a busy year and 9 months and we are so excited to introduce the newest addition to our clan, Ms Jane Adair. She joined us on March 24th 2008 at 4.17 am, weighing in at 7 lbs 15 oz. For those who do not know that is a day apart from her big sister, Emma Jean, whose birthday is March 25th. Wow, no kidding - fun year. So here are some pictures of our little blessing.
Now that you have met Jane please tell me who she looks like? Do you think our boys might look like there mom?! Such a sweet blessing. Praise God for two healthy girls.
Last night Kyle and I had a chat about our family blog and how inconsistent we’ve been in updating our family and friends with all that’s going on in our lives (We are sorry for that). So, the torch has officially been passed to me. I am still a novice when it comes to the blogosphere, so I may need some extra time to learn how to upload pictures and create a new post.
PS. The offical introduction of our second child, Miss Jane Adair Barrett, will come soon.
I don’t care who ya’ are…
Ashley and I are huge fans of the show LOST. I have never been hooked on a show like this before…ever. The acting is great. The story is great. The scenery is great. The show has captured my interest like no other. Yesterday I was working and guess who walks in? Ethan from LOST. His name is William Mapother and he’s actually a Louisville native. I didn’t get to meet him because I found out about his trip to our store after he left the store. Anyways, he plays a character on the show who is part of a group of people that the stranded survivors of Oceanic Flight #815 have affectionately termed “The Others”. If you don’t know the show, The Others are apparently the bad guys. There’s actually alot of debate over this in the blogosphere. It’s probably a good thing I didn’t get to meet him because I probably would have embarassed myself by acting like a middle school girl or by telling him how much I hate The Others.
My good friend Timmy Brister tells a story about his encounter with “The Others”. Please go read it. You’ll be glad you did.
I wanted to let everyone know that I am going to be posting on our college ministry’s website each week. I preach on Wednesday nights at our weekly gathering called The Upper Room. I’m going to use Thursday’s to flesh out the previous nights’ talk. Come join the conversation.
The semester has started and the craziness has begun! Before 3 weeks turns into 3 months I wanted to post and get everyone caught up with Team Barrett – Louisville edition. Many of you may not know but Ashley is pregnant – again. I know what you’re thinking, “Has she had Emma yet?” We went to the doctor last Monday and they gave us a projected due date of March 22nd, 2008. For all you math majors out there that is 3 days before Emma’s birthday and 6 days before Ashley’s. So what does 3 days plus 6 days add up to? A busy (and expensive!) month of March for Kyle for the rest of his ever lovin’ life! If anyone feels so led, any and all Barrett Birthday Donations can be sent via Paypal to kylebarrett2@gmail.com.
In all seriousness we are excited and have gotten over the initial shock of it all. God continues to provide for us and confirm that He is good to His children. We’re hoping to have some more formal family pictures taken once it cools down and the leaves change colors so stay tuned. In the meantime though…
