We've Expanded

There have been some changes up in here! Between Cody's job, babies and our living situation, we have been looking to God with our jaws dropped, marveling at His gifts. Here is our family update as we cruise into the new year. 

As it turns out, Cody can really work semi formal attire. Total eye candy. This discovery came with his new position in the payroll and budget office at WOU. He is LOVING both his job and coworkers. Currently, he is completing his degree in business (only because there was no degree for duck hunting available). 

Four minutes, by foot, is his total commute time. I get to see him for lunch and he is off at 5. This schedule has me utterly spoiled. Meanwhile, my job is full time Moming. It lacks a salary but hey, I'm my own boss, although Easton (age 2) often forgets this. 

Talk about job security, I have currently prolonged my position at home with the arrival of... dah dah dah tah dah: our second son!

Let me formally introduce you to the newest addition to the Prescott clan: Hudson Able. 


Awe, my little Hudder Butter! What a joy he is! He is always smiling. These days he likes to inch his way around, rolling when necessary. Occasionally he removes his fist from his mouth to 'coo' at us. Seriously, he daily melts my heart.

With Easton, the stages of development were foreign to me. I simply noticed whenever there was a change and adjusted accordingly. Second time around however, I have a rough idea of our growth timeline (ex: pure newborn, neck control,reaching, rolling...). Let me tell you, knowing how this progresses only makes me realize how fast each stage is racing by! Wahhhh!

Speaking of Easton, he is loving Hudson. Due to his tendencies to play rough, I had my concerns. I am grateful to say he is gentle and adoring when it comes to little brother. *wipes sweat from brow*

Hearing myself say, 'I am a mother of two' does make me feel older. I have definitely left the college stage of my life. Or have I?...

We have not only expanded in family but in household members, thirteen to be exact. Through the church, Praise Assembly, we have been blessed to become the host parents of an all girls international house called, The Nicholas House.

Yes, we share our lives with 13 college aged girls, eleven from China, and we love it! ALL of our ladies are truly incredible. The walls echo with the warmth of friendships built by sharing experiences and cultures. This is the good stuff.

Needless to say, Easton is also enjoying being caudeled around the clock. He has already determined who has what snacks where and when they are most likely to sneak him a treat. He's training early for a future in professional eating contests. 

'Overwhelming Thankfulness' That is what I would title this season of my life. I cannot shy away from praising God, because I am so aware that we were incapable of attaining these blessings on our own. He has taken our family and expanded it with Codys coworkers, Hudson, our beautiful college ladies, and all the future girls to come! 
Happy 2016!
 Love, 
The Prescotts

No Children at Church?

Cody and I have been volunteering at Falls City Christian Church  for a couple months now, where we take turns each month, teaching a lesson to the kiddos. Not to brag, but we have discovered the keys to a successful lesson: games and candy. This month, I chose to stray from the typical 'bible story' theme and go over how to pray in general. Praying is such a beautiful, powerful and important aspect of our relationship with God. I mean come on, we stinkin' get free 24 hr access to talk to the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. This trumps having Theo James's personal number on my speed dial, which I do; in my dreams. Come Sunday, I was giddy with excitement to teach my lesson! My growing anticipation was stunted however when alas, no children attended church that morning. Bummer eh? Not anymore! because luckily, I have this nifty little blog. So here it is; a 'would-have-been-epic' lesson on prayer! Open your hand and take a look, there should be fiv...

Don't worry it's totally normal...I think.

Parenthood is something else. The odd things I have begun to do are probably typical, at least I tell myself that! Here are some new things that I find happening every-so-often. If you can relate, wonderful, that means we can pretend this stuff is normal together!

A Belated Update

February 23, 2018 Dear friends and family,  Hello to you! We write this from the Salem NICU. Here we sit and watch the sky lighten and darken in a morphed cycle of hours that have all blended together. Cody and I have received your text messages and read your Facebook comments. Please accept our  apologies for the lack of information or response. Here is an update for all of you who have been wondering about our current situation. Where to start? We found out we were expecting, approximately three days after Cody cancelled his vasectomy and relented to go for “one more baby”. At 15 weeks I measured what would be a normal 20 week size. Two heart beats would clear up that confusion. Surprise! Cody replaced his hesitations about having three children with extreme excitement to have four. I however, was slightly terrified. They say if you can manage three kids that you can manage any number....I guess we’ll find out!  Loe and behold, our twin gir...
