So, it has been way too long since we have posted...our sincerest apologies!! Many factors have come into play-our computer crashed and we lost all of our pictures since Colombia, it was getting fixed for over 2 weeks, and life has been quite hectic lately:)
How has your new year begun? We hope it has been wonderful! Some updates on us:
Alan-Started a new semester at Lighthouse and began his 2x/week night class
Liz-Began work at Wedgwood, 2nd shift, 3-4/week, is growing bigger and almost half-way through this pregnancy
Oak-(It's kind of hard to put into words all the ways he is changing right now)-He is running around and playing non-stop, loves to hug everyone, favorite words are ball and car, but tries to say many others, loves to make animal sounds, loves to read books over and over, loves to help mommy/daddy cook or do dishes, knows where the baby is in mommy's tummy, is such a sweet, loving boy (We are so blessed and thank God every day for the son that He gave us-a treasure and joy every moment!!:)
Although we have been busier with me working at night and Alan taking classes, we are truly thankful for God's provision and find that we are soaking up the quality time we have as a family (since there is not a lot of it each week:). We are also thankful for the little blessings that this job has brought to us-extra one-on-one time for Daddy and Oak, the chance to work with kids that need love, guidance and to know that God is all-loving, more awareness of what being a parent of this generation means and all that we need to trust God to guide and protect us in-just to name a few! We relish this time together-just the three of us-as we eagerly await and prayerfully trust God with the next step in our journey when the new baby arrives in July!
Our little ham-Oak loves to cheese it up for the camera with his goofy grin:)
Uncle Shaun and Aunt Mandie came for a visit last week-it was so fun to see them!
(Not all pictures will upload-teachnology-our friend and foe:)
Amidst the chaos of the past few days at the hospital, Alan's work, my work, Alan's exam tonight, etc. we took a quick break outside this afternoon for a family walk...
