Hi All~

We haven't checked the blog out for a while and thought I would post an update.... it looks like mom already posted lots of pictures of Eva, so I won't. We are well. Survived a very cold, wet winter. The last week has hit the 60s and most of the snow is gone now. It was an adventure... but not nearly so bad as the news made it out to be. I had my first real shovelling snow experience (for some reason we escaped last winter)...hours of shovelling, and not too much progress. :) We are happy spring is on it's way and we can finally reemerge from hibernation. :) I'm looking forward to lots of walks and times at the park. Eva is doing well... growing and getting to be lots of fun. She's still trying to talk a lot. Just this morning I woke up to her jabbering away in her crib. This week she learned that if she sucks air in through her mouth she gets a funny noise--- so she's been doing that all week. :P I'm looking forward to starting my grad program in the fall (MA in teaching English as a second language- MATESL). I'll be going the ubber slow route, but nonetheless I am looking forward to a little brain stimulation. :) I've worked it out where I can do part online, and part in the evenings, so Billy can take care of Eva. The whole program will only require me to do a few classes on campus during the day.

Anyways... hope everyone is well. Much love to each of you!
