Babies- It is no exaggeration to state that almost every woman in our church is expecting a baby through the womb or adoption! We were blessed to be a part of 2 such women's baby showers and even got to meet their babies within weeks of their showers! We were also blessed to be present at the homecoming of Alice Faith who was recently adopted by our friends from church...it was so beautiful to witness such a testimony of God's faithfulness!

I (Sandi) turned 32 last month. From cooking me breakfast to making my cake and all the sweet cards, hugs and kisses in between, Chad and the kids made it special for me. I am so blessed! Anna and Olivia were also able to attend a baby doll themed birthday party.

Bathing Suits- Our good friends the Simon family helped me sew
modest swimming suits for the girls and I...they turned out so good and should last for 2+ years! Now, we're all ready for the warm weather coming soon : )
Bunnies- Anna has been such a helpful and responsible girl that we allowed her to get her own pet rabbit. We spent several weeks getting ready for the new member of the family by checking out library books about pet rabbits, building a 3-story cage, buying all the supplies it will need along with a lot of hay! Anna is in love with her new baby bunny whom she named Pumpkin.

Baking and Building- With the cold weather there have been many opportunities to stay warm inside and bake! Also, Chad was able to help build a large fence around our friends' property.

Mmmm....nothing like fresh homemade bread made with love!

Our Budding toddler!- Emma is growing up so fast! She walks now more than she crawls and is even starting to climb!
Back to School- The past month we have gotten back into the full swing of school. Anna and Olivia's favorite subject is History and Sophia's is Math. We are not exaggerating when we say Sophia's Math skills are amazing! She begs us every day to do 2nd grade Math like Olivia and she's getting 100%'s on her papers. We're so proud of her : ) Christopher can now count to 10 with our help and is starting to sing and pray...it's so cute! Emma's verbal skills are picking up. Chad is working really hard in school too!
