Easter

All dressed up for Easter

We had a great little visit from our friend Allie, all the way from Colorado Springs. Allie was on the team with me the last time I went to Sierra Leone. It was so great to see her and catch up a little bit!

And you know she looks like such a little angel, but underneath, she is one tough cookie...

Mystery Giver

Would the giver of this gift please step forward?


Yesterday I received this awesome baby sling in the mail, but I have no idea who sent it! Well, whoever you are, thank you very much, I love it and it's quite a bit more comfortable than the other one I have, especially for Sydney.

House for Sale

Our home is officially up for sale now, which means this whole moving thing is becoming a reality. We are attempting to do For Sale by Owner and our house is listed on a couple websites, including craigslist. We've had it listed for a couple weeks now, and were feeling a bit discouraged that we hadn't heard anything. Last Tuesday we finally got it listed on craigslist (I was little reluctant to post it until John got home), and on Wednesday we got a call from a prospective buyer. On Saturday they come to take a look, and low and behold, they are very interested. They also brought a Realtor with them, and he made several comments on how well our house showed and that we made a very good presentation. So even if this couple doesn't end up buying the house, it was nice to hear that encouragement.

When I first moved in, I had intended to post pictures, for those of you who wouldn't make it up here to see for yourself, and well, time just got away from me. So now that we're moving out, here are some pics. Oh, and if you know of anyone who is moving to Anchorage, you can pass on this info!







Four Months



As you can see, it has been a busy month full of traveling. We hit some pretty good milestones, like sleeping 8 hours at night, holding our head up, rolling from tummy to back, etc. We are excited to see what comes of the next month, but hate to see her growing up so quickly.
