Yesterday, I let someone hurt my baby.
It sounds terrible, doesn't it? Well, it was. Zachary had his 2-month doctor's appointment yesterday and got his first shots. :( It was SO sad!!! I cried. He got these cute little bandaids on his legs, and after eating a bottle and calming down, he was fine, but I'm still sort of traumatized. :(
Last week I was singing a hymn to Zachary about God giving His Son to die for us, and I started thinking about it, and just started crying. Because especially now that I have a son, I can't imagine choosing to give him up to someone to hurt and kill him. Even if it would save all the people in the world. I guess it just hit me more than it ever has before how much it really cost God to give up his Son for us. And to watch someone hurt him so that we could have life. It's pretty amazing what God can use to teach us more about Himself.
Joel and Carrie
Joel and I have been married for 14 years now, and dating since 1999! I'm so thankful to have the opportunity to praise God alongside this man!
Zachary Wayne
Zachary is our nine-year-old boy! He is all boy, loves Legos, Star Wars, and watching sports with Daddy! Zachary just soaks up learning! We are so thankful that he loves praising Jesus already, and hope that we'll have many more years to teach him what loving God really means! Zachary is our very first blessing, and his name means "God has remembered".
Natalie Grace
Natalie is our little sweetheart, our seven-year-old daughter! I can't believe how she's grown up in the last year! Of course, she has to keep up with Zachary, and she loves to cuddle with both Mommy and Daddy, and to be a mama to anyone who will let her, especially Davey. :)
David Isaac
Davey, our second son, was born in July 2011 - we are so thankful for him!! He is my crazy climber, my clean house wrecker, and my littlest joy. He is our class clown, always walking around with something on his head or dancing to make us laugh!! David Isaac means Beloved Laughter, and he lives up to his name!

Aren't those shots heartbreaking?
I'm glad you found my blog. Now I can read yours too! I love seeing the pictures of Zachary on Facebook. He is such a sweetie!
Shots hurt so much. I cried with Anna's first, too... and her second and third and fourth lol... I love that you compared it to the wounds that Jesus bore although it is really incomparable... but I think I'll mention this to my minister Mother in Law. :D To think that God let his only son... and shots are that painful... Wow!
