I walked into the living room to find David with Andrew’s stethoscope trying to listen to his heart.

“Are you sure you want to sell them?” I asked “Won’t that be sad, you won’t be able to to play with them anymore?”
“Yeah, it will be sad,” He replied “but we can sell them at ‘arm market.”

At the Library

David loves going to the library. He takes out all the crayons, markers, puzzles, stuffed animals and spreads them all over the floor in the 'area. I bring my computer and enjoy some internet time. Then when I am done we clean up the mess. Actually this time I told him to take out only one puzzle or toy at a time and the mess is much less. Only the crayons are everywhere:)

Valentine's Dinner

We had the wonderful opportunity to go to a Valentine's dinner put on by a family at our church. It was so lovely. They did an excellent job to create a special time for all the couples that attended. The room was decorated beautifully. Each couple had their own table and a pair of waiters. We were served sparkling cider and an appetizer plate with cheese, crackers and grapes. The main course was a Ceasar salad, lasagna, vegetables and garlic bread. To finish off with we had chocolate cream pie and coffee or tea. We had a wonderful time and want to thank the Pittelkow family along with all the waiters and waitresses.

David and the Tractors

Last week we went to the Spokane Ag Expo. It was so cute how much David loved the big tractors. He wanted to sit in every single one of them.

Big Brother

David is going to be a big brother! We are expecting our second baby this summer. I am not sure how much David understands but he likes to talk about the baby in Mommy's tummy. He also says that he has a baby in his back!

I am almost 12 weeks along now. Overall I have been feeling pretty good. Mostly just tired and lacking in energy. I do start feeling sick if I go more than a few hours without eating any protein.

We are very excited about the new addition to our family!

Snowmen

Finally the snow was just right. David had been wanting to build a snowman for so long and we either didn't have any snow or it was too soft and powdery. So when it was finally perfect we all bundled up and headed outside to have fun. We started by building one snowman. Then David told me that the big snowman was Mommy and Daddy's snowman and that he needed a little snowman. So I helped him build a baby snowman too. It was such fun and he was very pleased. Everyday he looked out the window and said "I see big snowman, I see baby snowman."

My Birthday

David loves birthday parties, so when my birthday came around he was very excited. Andrew was going to bring home pizza and a little cake that night after his EMT class and David kept asking when Daddy was coming home and bringing the birthday party. He also was very excited to help Daddy wrap presents and then give them to Mommy. He did get a little impatient while I opened them and wanted to open some himself! I had a very special birthday and was so blessed by my special family.

Studying

David is fascinated by Andrew's EMT book and loves to look at it with him. It can make studying difficult for Andrew sometimes. But at least David knows about the "heart pumping red blood ou and blue blood in" now!

Building the Chicken House

Andrew has been building a new chicken house recently and David has enjoyed helping him. It is mostly finished except for a few finishing touches and the chickens are all moved in and settled.

Fruit

We have enjoyed the citrus and other fruit we brought home from California so much.
