Well sadly, Grannie is headed back over the pass today. We had such a wonderful visit, and foolish me, I neglected to take a single picture of her and the girls together. Thankfully she has some to cherish on her phone...Im such a ninny sometimes. Anyway, we had a great time, it seemed to go by so fast, as usual. I really hope to make a trip over with the girls soon, but the timing just hasnt been right for us yet; soon though!!!
Jeff is getting very excited, and me for him....He has decided that he would like to be baptized at our church this year. They just had their baptism class last Sunday, and this weekend he makes his video testimonial. The actual baptism is going to be Sunday, April 5th. Anyone that would like to attend is more than welcome, we are very excited!!! Having the girls dedicated a couple weekends ago was so special and Jeff jumped right in when he heard Pastor was announcing the upcoming event.
Also, coming up next Monday, Olivia will be 4 months old already...where does the time go. We have her appt at 930 that day, so I will make sure to update everyone with the weigh-in. She seems to be advancing so quickly, much help from big sister Gracie.
Gracie is doing so well with vocabulary and is turning out to have quite the imagination. She is such a social butterfly and will soon be telling the silliest of stories; im sure of it. Still no gains with the potty, but then again, im not putting any effort in to it, just introducing it now and again to get her familiar with the concept. Boy will it be nice when we go back to changing only 1 set of diapers....I swear I should get paid for all the effort that goes into diapering two small babies. LOL
As far as an update on me...im doing pretty darn good. Managing to slowly get back into my pre-pregnant clothing again...its crazy to think that I have clothes in my closet that havent been worn in over 2 years! Yikes! As the weather warms up, im sure the transition will speed up as I plan to be out walking and playing with the girlies. I manage to keep my sanity most days, but as you probably wonder, I do have some "crazy" days. Thankfully we have no plans, or "unplanned" babies in our near future....this time we are on BC and plan to stay on it, strictly, for if not permanently, a couple years at least. We really want to spend time devoting our parenting to these beautiful girls and making a comfortable life for the 4 of us.
Our prayers go out to our friends the Hutchison's; who deliviered baby Joel last Sunday...he had to be flown to Spokane with some lung issues. I received a message today saying she is there with him now, and as of Monday, his oxygen support was reduced to 27%....so he was doing better..I will update more news as I receive it. Please pray for a quick recovery so they can begin their new life at home as a family of 4, and also that the stress and anxiety will be lifted and carried by God so they can just focus on being a family.
May you all have a blessed week!

I was just thinking the other day how you're probably enjoying not being pregnant! :) Be sure to let us know when you're planning to come this way again, as we'd love to get together with you.
