Updates!

Well, as you all know, we are expecting our 2nd baby in April, but we also found out that we are having another girl! We are super excited for this addition, however, Mark and I are struggling to agree on a name we both like. Hopefully we can find one before she comes!

Abbi has moved into a big girl bed. We did this back in November. Overall she has been pretty good in it. She has had a couple nights where she continually gets out of bed, but that is getting better each day. We have her bed and the crib set up in the same room together, mainly because I am just not ready to put my almost 2 year old downstairs.

I got a new calling. Well, a couple new callings. I was released as a primary teacher and called as the Laurel adviser in Young Womens. I am excited for this calling and so far I believe I will enjoy it very much. My other calling is as the Ward Choir Director. I'm excited to do this, but it has been a little frustrating getting people to come to practice. Hopefully I can think of something to get people there! I am very appreciative of those who do come faithfully each week!

We have done some home improvement. We have a fireplace in our living room and it was wallpapered around it of all things (don't think that is very fire proof) so we ripped the wallpaper down and tiled around it, then instead of just a hole for a fire, we put the gas stove which was in our family room and moved it to the living room. All we need is our mantel and it will be complete! It already looks tons better! Since we took the gas stove from the family room and that was really it's only source of heat, we got a wood stove and put that in the fireplace in that room. It's really nice having the wood stove. It is one of Marks favorite "toys" to play with. It was quite the ordeal getting that stove in as the fireplace was built back in the 50's kind of funky, but our neighbor and his sons put it in for us, and they did a wonderful job! It stays nice and toasty in there! So that is one project down. We have a few more on our list we'd like to do, but need to decide which one we do first. We have some time as we are saving to be able to do whatever the next thing is!

I believe that is all the updates I have right now. When I have a little more time I have lots of pictures to download, so stay tuned!
