After School with Jake

2007-09-26T11:28:00.000-05:00

Since Jude was born Jacob has been evovling into the "BIG BOY" that God created him to be. He changed his name to Jake and will quickly correct you if you call him Jacob. He says, "Mom...its J-A-K-E." He not only can spell his new nickname but can write it. After one day of Pre-K he brought home work with J-K-E on everything. Since then, he has learned to add the A.

We working on listening and obeying at school and home. Our friend Nikko comes over everyday after school on the BUS as a treat if the boys are using their listening ears in Mrs. Cummins class. We have also started gymnastics. Jake loves gymnastics. During the week I will frequently remind him to listen by saying, "Jake use your gymnastics listening ears, if you want to be in gymnastics you have to be a good listener. Check back for pics from Gymnastics.

Jake loves to make coffee for Mama afterschool...and crunch coffee beans.

We head up to Cypress Elementary for meet the teacher.

Jonah is in First Grade with Kim Castles. She is a new teacher and a God send.

Jude's First Month

2007-09-11T11:59:00.000-05:00

A Few Minutes Old: Eight Pounds 10 Ounces; 10:32am

Its OK Daddy's Got You

Jude actually did "poop in Mama's Belly" so he was taken away from me right after he was born. Sam was by his side comforting him with every new experience that life was bringing him. It was cold and bright and painful but daddy's hand on him made it all better.

What comes next is thpeace which passeth all understanding.

Then Here Come the Big Brothers...

Home At Last Listening to "Hey Jude"

Once Sam played this for him from the get-go, Jude will fall asleep whenever and where ever he hears his song.

Jude had vistors from Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, San Marcos, Austin, Florida and Pfugerville within the first 24 hours of being home. Thankyou precious family for coming to share is birth with us.

Day 2 Jude is smiling and holding up his head, and boy does he look like SAM.

At two weeks Jude had his first bath and

his first road trip to Houston.

In Houston we met our cousin Haden Star, Aunt Kathy and Uncle Chad and Aunt Pat and Uncle Jack.

Papa fed him his first bottle.

Life is GOOD in Baba and Granddaddy's arms.

At four weeks we celebrated the upcoming arrival of our new cousin

Ethan Christopher

Cousins are fun!

So are Friends...

Six Weeks I am rolling over

and playing with my pacifier.

He's Here!!!

After much anticipation, we are proud to announce the arrival of a VERY healthy baby boy, JUDE! He came along yesterday morning at 10:32 am. Jonah and Jacob both came along in the 10 O'clock hour as well. We're already home and are accepting any visitors that would like to come by. 1303 Lantana Ln. Cedar Park 78613.

Hello all, I started contractions at 2:00am. Proceeded to clean toliets, sweep and hang pictures, you know the things you always do in the middle of the night wondering if your sweet little angel will arrive today. It is 6:00am now and the contractions are 10 minutes apart lieing down and alot closer while walking around.

We are dropping the boys off at sweet, sweet Melissa's house and going to Kinkos to get Sam's final English paper bound and delivered. He wants to take his final exam at 8:00am but we will see what the contractions are doing.

Love to all. Please call or come by and see us at the Hospital

Thursday and Holding

2007-08-02T19:37:00.001-05:00

We went to the Doctor today and they checked me inside and out. Dr. Darby, the sonagram specialist, showed Jude weighing in at eight pounds ten ounces. Jonah was eight pounds fifteen ounces and Jacob came into the world at nine pounds flat. Dr. Mills, my OB, did her thing and I am 3 cm dialated and 60% efaced. He still has not dropped low enough for her to feel his head, but the nurse, Darlene, said that can happen right as he is being delivered. So this little one is probably holding out for Friday night again. We will let you know!!

Due Date

2007-07-31T08:57:00.000-05:00

Today is our day. I think Jude is the kind to be just on time; not a day early, not a day late. So today I will walk, garden and ride bikes with the boys, even though it is a FUNNY sight. (rest)?

Friday Night

2007-07-27T08:55:00.000-05:00

The Frost family for many years gathered on Friday Night for "Friday Night Dinner." Khaki and Amelie's gift of hospitality and love for preparing food and bringing her family together to share made for many wonderful family moments.

Both Jonah and Jacob came on Friday morning right around 10:00am. We have always said that they were truly Frosts because they came just in time for "Friday Night."

For the past few years Khaki has been living in Florida and the Friday night tradition has dwindled a bit. We meet once a month at best, but when she comes for a visit there is always a several day celebration which begins the night that she arrives. If she arrives mid-week, we say, "are we gettting together for Friday Night," even if it is Wednesday Night.

Khaki arrives on Saturday, so the anticipation of our family reunion is building. I think baby Jude is waiting for His Grandy to get here on Saturday so he can get here just in time for Friday Night.

John 14:2

"In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you."

I have often thought about this passage. It speaks of the mansion with the many rooms that the Lord has prepared for us in heaven. His longing to be there with us. My longing to be there with Him. As I have read over these words, reflected, painted and read again, I find another twist another reflection. I hear the Lord calling me to a place that he has prepared for me here on earth. My home. This place He calls me to. This place he has prepared for me, blessed me with. My home is secure and covered, it is a refuge.

As I have awaited the arrival of Jude Echo Stone I had a vision of his room, his refuge. It has been so fun and I wanted to share it with you. Everything in his room has been given to us. The walls are covered with memories and special treasures. I cannot wait to lay his head down in the place prepared for him by the support of everyone that loves us.

The boys love to sleep in
"the baby's room." We cannot
wait for him to get here.

Join us Jude!

What's with the Four Names?

2007-07-21T12:35:00.000-05:00

I have asked Khaki, Sam's Mother, to share her maternal leadings to name all of her boys with strong names that begin J-E-S-and then of course, F-rost. When Jonah was in utero we diliberated on whether to continue with the tradition. In naming Jonah we chimed in with Khaki and Larry's lead. Take a look at the legend we have continued.

Still Waiting

2007-07-20T11:58:00.000-05:00

Jonah has been so excited to have a new member in the family, he couldn't wait any longer. He had to have a CAT!! I'm not sure if it's a boy or girl cat or even what its name is but I know it is now a member of the family. It's really an outside animal but it got to come. Jacob made breakfast for us. in this morning while we made waffles because it was raining outside.

Thanks, Jacob!

"Barking Springs"

2007-07-20T01:00:00.000-05:00

One of Jacob's funny words is "Barking Springs." I took the boys down to Barton Springs and we met Ayla, Henry, Sharon and Jessica. The pool was closed so we ended up playing in the waterfall area. After adjusting to the cold temperature of the water, we made our way across the flow of the water to the shallow part. We spent an hour jumping in the rapids and swimming back.

This is what Jessica and I did every day the week that Jonah was born.
It seems that we've established this as a labor inducing tradition.

Holy Due Dates Batman, Where is Jude??

2007-07-19T09:23:00.000-05:00

It is Thursday morning and the boys and I are packing for the ritualistic, labor inducing, trip to Barton Springs with Jessica. This was how we got Jonah moving days before his delivery back in 2001 . Today Sharon, Ayla and Baby Henry James will be joining us.

I had my weekly checkup and am dilated to two centimeters. We'll see what today brings!!

What We Will Do This Week to Get You Here!

2007-07-17T06:58:00.000-05:00

Daddy and I went on a super date: Dinner with Brian and Stephanie at the Rio Grande and an evening stroll through downtown. Then we enjoyed the view from Speakeasy and finished the evening off with a late night movie: TRANSFORMERS.

The Brothers and I went to the "Downtown Bike Jumps" They are getting so good at jumping. Daddy is fixing up the tiger bike so it will be ready for you.

SWIM SWIM SWIM!

We have a date with Jessica to swim at Barton Springs for a labor inducing swim. That is what got Jonah here!!

Is Today the Day?

2007-07-17T06:33:00.000-05:00

Today, Daddy is working hard at work and finishing up a load of homework so that we can relax this afternoon and see if today is the day we get to meet you.

Mommy is cleaning house and spending a lot of time in your room. I am sitting in front of your bed thinking about your sweet little body snuggled up, asleep under a canopy of love.

Your brothers ask about you every day.

Jonah: "Mom how do you know there is a baby in there?"
Jacob: "Hi baby! Do you poop in Mama's belly. I want to see you. I love you."
Jonah: "Do you think our baby will come today?
Jonah: "Be good to mama!"
