baby shower and other news

Last night several ladies from our church threw me a baby shower for Owen.  It was a really nice time and we will be set for diapers and wipes for some time!  Mabye even till we leave for Indo again!  Thanks ladies!  It was an "O" theme and even the dessert followed the theme with donuts, of course, all in the shape of O's!  Cheerios, life savers, etc.  Very creative and fun – thanks Rachel and Laura.  Today I had an appointment with the doctor and it looks like my body is certainly getting ready for this little one to join us soon!  If we make it to the due date, I'll be shocked. 

 

We are really enjoying spring this year. Knowing what the two seasons we have in Indonesia are like, really opens our eyes to what we have here.  Spring is so beautiful with everything popping up here new and green.  I've even enjoyed pulling weeds in Mom's garden!  Jack loves running in the grass, playing in sandboxes, swinging on his toddler swing in the back yard and sliding down slides or "weeeee's" as he calls them.  He is talking up a storm and most of the time is understandable with all the new words he comes out with.  He is still using quite a few Indonesian words so that is fun! 

 

We have our first official language session tomorrow night with Caroline.  We are excited but I'm a bit nervous too.  We're going to be eating Thai food together – close enough to Indonesian food!  It should be fun.  For now, I leave you with an Indonesian Salamat Malam or Good Night!
