God's Blessings...

Brian is finally back from an adventurous eleven days on the trail... I am so thrilled to see his face each morning, but am so glad that he had the chance to get away and hike for a time. 

I am enjoying listening to all of his stories about animals that he, Pops, and Mark (my brother) saw while hiking. Also, I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the people that they met including: Buck 20, Zeus, the eight year old boy whose trail name escapes me, and others. 

In other news, Caleb slept until 10 A.M. today. Can you believe it? Brian and I also slept until then... which neither of us had done in years (YEARS, people!). I don't know what's gotten into our little man, but I sure needed the extra rest. Thanks be to God from whom ALL blessings come. 

I am reading The Vaccine Book by Dr. Robert Sears in order to be informed about vaccinations that are being suggested/required from the medical community for children. I would love to know your opinion about vaccines... leave a comment in the appropriate section.

Jessica -
You may already know this, but vaccine development has a huge place in the aborted baby market. Many, many vaccines are made using aborted babies. Just do your research. Although we don't vaccinate at all, I know that there are plenty of vaccine alternatives that are not created using the remains of aborted children.

As for our other reasons for not vaccinating, I just don't trust the system. Too much money changing hands. Too much power play. Too much history of dishonesty.

I'm not anti-vaccine. I just don't believe it's right for my family at this time. I'm sure you and Brian will make the right decision for your family - whatever you decide. Just keep doing your research.

Wow, Mel. I am SO glad that you commented! I appreciate your transparency with respect to the vaccine issue. I am trying to be informed and not just go along with the so-called "norms" of our society.

Thanks again for commenting! You have spurred me on to further research. =)

And congrats, by the way... Mom and Dad told us the news. Whoo hoo!

Love,
Jessica

Thanks, Jessica! We're very excited - just can't wait to get over this morning sickness.
Bleh...
