Please

Savior, please take my hand
I work so hard, I live so fast
This life begins, and then it ends
And I do the best that I can, but I don't know how long I'll last


I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough
I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love
Savior, please keep saving me

Savior, please help me stand
I fall so hard, I fade so fast
Will You begin right where I end
And be the God of all I am because You're all I have

Hallelujah
Everything You are to me
Is everything I'll ever need
And I am learning to believe
That I don't have to prove a thing
'Cause You're the one who's saving me

Coming Soon....

A NEW POST!!! For all 3 of you who read this...the wait is over...a Morrison family update with tons of pictures will be up tonight! (unless something like tantrums, blow-outs, a lost McQueen car, or falling asleep on the couch exhausted occur)

=)

A busy three weeks

Its been a little over three weeks since I posted, and I'm not being very good at frequent updating, but I'm trying...The last two weeks have been BUSY! We've had a car show, a big birthday, 3 cases of strep throat in the house, Easter, and just our normal every day stuff.

Ben turned 3 on the third!! CANNOT believe I have a three year old! He's just so precious! He's definitely strong-willed sometimes, and can throw a fit like no other, but he's also a very good hugger, loves kisses, has the sweetest heart, and is a perfect, spunky little boy! We had his birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's. He had SO much fun!! He played and played and played!! He played air hockey with random kids, ski ball and would throw the ball two lanes over, whack-a-shark, the carousel 200 times. He got lots of cool gifts! I don't think there really was one favorite. He really loved his Buzz lightyear shoes, Woody and Buzz dolls, and his Little Einstein present. Here are some pics of the occasion...

Our Easter was ok. Ben and I both had strep throat over the long weekend. Him on Thursday/Friday and myself on Sun/Mon. Didn't make for a very eventful weekend! Ben did get to go to Mom and Kendall's for their Easter egg hunt and cookout, while I stayed home and slept! Keisha took pictures for me so I would get to see what all I missed.

Micah is still doing great! He changes every day and is becoming very social. He talks and coos and tries to giggle. We took him for his 2 month checkup last week and he rolled over for the doctor! He's done this before at the house, but she was very pleased and said it was a meaningful rollover, not accidental! She said that's a 4 month milestone, so he's hit it early! He's not fattening up as well as she would like, and has gone from being in the 50th percentile for weight down to the 25th. He weighed 12lbs even and was 24 3/4 inches long. (90th % for height, tall guy!) He's such a good sleeper, sleeping around 10 hours at night, that we really have to get in all of the ounces she would like during the 10 or so hours he's awake during the day. We go back for a weight check again in 2 weeks.

Benjamin had his 3 year checkup on Saturday. Thankfully he doesn't get any more shots until Kindergarten, so his appointment wasn't as traumatic. It was interesting getting him to pee in a cup though! He did it no problem, and it was much easier than if he were a girl!! Ben weighed 37 1/2lbs and was 3ft4in tall. 90% for both! Our big boy!

I've started another blog with some of my photographs that I've been taking. Just a place to store them and share them. Photography is a hobby I truly enjoy, and i have the two cutest models! The blog is www.brittanymorrisonphoto.blogspot.com

Hopefully more frequent updates to come...

2 Months

I'm pretty sure I'll get emotional doing this, but I wanted to dedicate this post to my sweet newborn baby. At this very second 2 months ago I was in the hospital, laying in bed, pitocin coming through my iv, not knowing what the day would hold for us. The day wound up being nothing like I had imagined or wanted, but the end result was the same and we got a beautiful, healthy baby Micah. We are so in love with him and though we've had him only 2 short months, we can't imagine life without him...

Monday, Monday

I can't believe its Monday already! Where'd the weekend go? We did a whole lot of not much this weekend. Friday night we took a trip out to Best Buy to ask the Geek Squad some questions about our retarded Gateway computer. Then to Steak N Shake, where daddy and Benjamin had lots of fun putting together cardboard cars. See...

Micah sat in his carseat and slept through it all. Saturday we just hung out and ran a few errands. Sunday, of course, was church. We went to lunch with some friends, and Benjamin got to go home with them and play with his very best friend. They haven't seen each other in about 3 weeks because Avery's been sick, but they were reunited Sunday and didn't want to be seperated. I had another first in mommyhood, when Avery asked if Ben could come to his house and play. I can remember when I was little and asking for friends to come over. I can't believe my baby is big enough for that now! It was nice though to have a quiet house for a few hours. Micah and I had a little photoshoot in the living room.

Oh, he's getting so big! 8 Weeks tomorrow! He's really starting to smile and coo and interact with others. He's just precious and a perfect addition to our family! Ben is crazy about him too...though he doesn't understand Micah can't quite play with his toys yet...

Did you hear him say "bless you" when Micah sneezed?? So sweet!

Bed is calling my name now! More tomorrow!

It can wait...

I read something tonight that brought tears to my eyes (everything does now though with the crazy hormones i've got). It made me worry and be stressed even less about the things I look around and see undone in my house. Because there are two very good reasons there are toys scattered around the house, beds unmade, and laundry to do...their names are Benjamin and Micah. Here's what I read...



Song for a Fifth Child. (or second in my case)



Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing, make up the bed,
Sew on a button and butter the bread.


Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.


Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,
Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo


The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew
And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo
Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?
Lullabye, rockaby lullabye loo.


The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
But children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.



Now I'm off to rock my sweet little baby to sleep...

Where do I start...

I've given this blog thing a try or two in the past and have not been good at keeping it updated. I'm going to give it another go and make myself keep this one up. With two kids now, life is really going by fast and I don't want to forget anything. I'm no good at journaling, or scrapbooking, but I do spend tons of time on the computer so this is the perfect way to record our days, plus keep family and friends updated with whats going on with us and with pictures, etc. If you're reading this, leave a comment so I know! It'll motivate me more if I think people are reading! Tomorrow's Monday and time to go back to work, so I'm off to bed. Here's a quick pic to close the day...

My two sweet boys!!
