The Latest Good's News

Well, Violet is growing. That's for sure. Her size is still petite, but we know she is healthy and growing. She keeps us entertained with her sweet babbling and silly faces. She is quite a baby pterodactyl as of late, letting out several screeches a day of dinosaur volume.

She has finally learned to hold her own bottle. We sometimes get her to hold her own cup, but I think she gets lazy. Why do it when Momma and Daddy can?

Chilling out on our bed.

Here is one of her favorite toys to scoot around the house with it in her mouth. It is a stuffed little girl. For some reason she finds the head tasty.

Here she is the other day.

My little doll face!

Who me?

She woke up Monday with a bad bug so we stayed home for the day. She was on the mend by the afternoon but we laid low Tuesday just to get her energy back.

Morning sickness has definitely got its grip on me most days. Sometimes it is more tolerable than others, so if I feel relatively good I rush to get things done. I have let it get the best of me the past couple weeks. I have been in the house too much, not taking walks with Vi like I should. It doesn't help that it is overcast and chilly here...but there I go making excuses.

It is still sinking in that the Lord may bless us with another little one. Violet has been such a blessing. Only God knows this second child right now. We are looking forward to meeting the baby as well! We haven't really talked names yet, but that will be a fun game when we find out the gender, which we both want to know this time as well. No surprises yet for me. I love knowing the little one inside as a girl or boy. I loved picking out a name early for Violet and calling her that in the womb. It was already a connection with her and the name.

Anyways, things are plugging along here. Daniel stays busy with school and homework, as usual. He has been getting up everyday to work out with our neighbor. They play basketball, run, bike, play racquetball, quite a variety in the workouts. It has been an encouragement to him. Our neighbors are such a blessing. We keep thinking they are going to get tired of us. Ha!  We are definitely not tired of them and we see each other almost everyday. The crunch of the gravel in our front yard is always nice to hear if it is their children's feet or their own. What a joy to have such sweet neighbors!

We are becoming members of our church this Sunday. We have completed the member training classes and last week we met with the elders to affirm our faith. We look forward to coming alongside this church body in a more formal way. It has been a blessing to us since we started attending in February. Again, we are thankful for God's blessing to us in finding a church body that worships the God of the Bible whole-heartedly in spirit and doctrine.

Well, today we are bike riding with some friends. It is always nice to get out and pull Vi along in the trailer. She seems to like it as long as her sun hat doesn't fall into her face.

Thanks for reading our update! Much love!
