March!

I think it has been a couple months since I did a general family update. Well, Shaun has been learning a lot! He knows most letters and can count to 10 consistently! He got a couple sets of letters and numbers for his birthday and has been learning them ever since. He also loves to play with his foam letters in the bathtub. Last bath time he even requested to spell his name! So I said let’s find the “S”, then, “H” and so on. He was so happy to have spelled it at the end and said “Shaun!”

We are doing well considering that things didn’t go well with the IVF. We are content with our family and will give it one last shot in a few months with the 2 frozen ones we got. Since we can plan when I could potentially get pregnant, we are going to do it in late June or early July so to get a potential due date of March or so. That gets it past Christmas and Shaun’s birthday. God knows and has a plan for what the future will bring to our family.

Bill worked twice this month, in Everett & Boise, so he will be skipping May so we can go to the Family Life “Weekend to Remember” marriage conference. Our church has encouraged couples to go because it is so good, so we decided to sign up! We are so excited to go. We will get a weekend away in a hotel in Redmond. Shaun will be spending the whole weekend at Grandma and Grandpa’s! He has only spent one night there once last September when we went to a concert, so this will be big! Grandma and Grandpa are willing (and happy I think) to have Shaun and also take Abby (dog) too. Sometimes Abby can be more work than Shaun because she likes to get into things. We will get a whole date weekend! I’m going to miss Shaun so much though.

We also got tickets for May to go to Shaun’s first live show; Sesame Street Live! It sounds like there is going to be a bunch of singing and he loves the characters so hopefully he will have a good time.

Happy Easter in a few days! Jesus is alive!
