Tiny Joyfulness

You all know this already, but for the blog record, we are pregnant! A few have asked us if this one was a surprise and the answer is mostly no, mostly.

When we wanted to get pregnant with Charles it took us 8 months, which is nothing compared to the years that some families have to wait, and it seems short to me now, but it felt long to us then! So, this time we were eager to start trying as soon as possible in case it took a while again. We thought 18 months was about as close as we would like to have our children so we started there but we were prepared to be patient and maybe get pregnant in the next year or two. To our delight, we didn't have to wait!

I'm sure having two little ones so close will be an adventure, continuing into their teen years, overlapping missions if it is a boy, etc. but I'm confident that it will be grand! I'm sure there will be overwhelming days; maybe that's what it means in Psalms, "my cup runneth over." So many blessings! We are very grateful for our little growing family.

Bacon Days

In February and March Aaron and I had our birthdays. We ate lots of yummy food (the highlight of Aaron's meals was bacon), spent time together, and had Charlie to entertain us. We had nice birthday wishes and mail from family and friends. Thanks!

Recently we have ventured to the museum of flight in Seattle and out to a few parks. It's great to have friends from our ward to do things with, and to have some increasing sunshine.
