King Cake


So, we went down to Ocean Springs a few weeks ago to check everything out and attend the first meeting of Mosaic Church. It was right before Mardi Gras, so one of the couples brought a King Cake for everyone to enjoy. Tradition is that there is a small baby figure hidden inside the cake. The person who gets that piece has to host next years party and buy the next king cake. Angie said this cake did not have a baby. But surprise, it did and I got the piece with the baby! Shaun, needless to say really enjoyed the cake and wanted to stop and buy a cake to take home! So, I guess the party is on us next year.

Welcome New Family Member

I would like everyone to meet our new baby: Preston Thomas.
He is a miniature schnaucer. He is 13 weeks old and all sharp little teeth! He already knows how to sit and he loves to play and sleep. He follows Jackson around everywhere and mimics all of Jackson's behaviors, including standing up on his hind legs and begging by waving his front paws. It is too cute!

Many thanks to Danielle and her mom for our new family member. We went to Danielle's birthday party expecting cake... but not expecting to take home a puppy. For the record, this was all Shaun's fault! He promised it would be his responsibilty... guess who feeds the dog and who the dog sleeps with, yep: me.

This is definately the last 4 legged addition to our home. I had forgotten how energetic puppies are! Sebastian loves him too, just not when Preston bites his tail!

First Post :-)

Hello There,

Shaun and I created this blog for all of our friends and family to enjoy as we begin this amazing chapter in our lives.

We are excited to be part of something so unique. We are so amazed to have the opportunity to be part of Mosaic Church. Although it isn't something that we had planned, we are learning that God's plans are not always our plans and we are excited to be following his plan.

Please check in often and pray for us and Mosaic Church and the people of the Ocean Springs area that need a church that loves people because Jesus loves them and knows that God can put the broken pieces of our lives back together and create something amazingly beautiful.

Love,

Jessica and Shaun.

I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
