Hi there,

We are so excited to be able to spend our days outside again! It is crazy how warm the end of February was. We spent a lot of time at the playground this past month, and as we learned, Haley is very brave. 🙂 She slides down on the biggest slide by herself. I am not one of those “I’m sure she will be fine” moms, so I am currently learning how to let her do things by herself and still make sure she is safe. Amy was not half this brave at Haley’s age, so we didn’t have to deal with an 18 months old trying to climb up on the highest things before. To be honest, I didn’t mind Amy not being brave. 🙂
Haley wants to be independent in many things. She likes to eat with a spoon or fork by herself, drink from a real cup by herself, walk on the sidewalk by herself, etc. I think she thinks she can do anything Amy can. She is so cute. She has 16 teeth (4 of those are almost completely out, but not quite). At home she is a clown (always trying to make us laugh), but when we leave the house, she totally changes. She has this serious look as soon as we step out the door. But from what I heard, she loosens up in Nursery once in a while. 🙂
Amy is super excited to be a 5 year old. She’s been waiting for so long to be 5. She will start Kindergarten this fall, I am very excited to see how she likes it. We decided to go with K-12 for this year, and see how it goes. It is an online, virtual public school, so they provide the curriculum, the textbooks, other materials, and the teachers have classes online, but she stays at home.Chris has been very tired lately, having problem staying awake, so his doctor had a sleep study scheduled for last Friday. We should have the results in two weeks. Please keep him in your prayers concerning this.
He just started the second session this semester at Summit University, and he is still all As. 🙂 He will be very happy to be done with school (most likely next year), but he is doing very well.

We are so excited for all our friends who are pregnant. Many will give birth soon, and many have a few more months to go. We also have quite a few friends who gave birth these past couple of months. I love seeing baby pictures all over facebook. “Children are a gift of the Lord” (Psalm 127:3).
Have a wonderful week!
