We had a wonderful Christmas season, enjoying time spent with family and dear friends. We were lucky to have smooth flights--Jax was a champ!--and good weather in Georgia this year. With the holidays come and gone, we find ourselves with an exciting year ahead of us!
We have decided to move to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where Eli will start dental school at Marquette University this coming Fall semester. The winters will be cold, but we'll hopefully keep warm while enjoying the friendly attitudes of the people of the Midwest. I'm also looking forward to being so close to my aunt and uncle, Shelly & Kevin, who have a beautiful daughter (named Sadie) who is a little younger than Jax. It will be fun to live near family and to let the kids get to know one another--they've never met!
Another round of exciting news will come in 3 weeks when we find out whether we can expect a little boy or a little girl to join us in June! That's right--I'm pregnant! Just over 17 weeks along now, and I figure it's about time I tell people because I am getting a serious pooch for a belly. We are ecstatic and can't wait to see what a great big brother Jax is going to be. My due date, as of now, is June 24th. So, we'll greet Milwaukee as a family of four!
Eli is staying very busy, carrying 21 credit hours at BYU and working 25 hours per week as a dental assistant. He loves his job, and is sooo beyond ready for school to be over. I think if he can make it through this semester alive dental school will seem like a breath of fresh air! He's still the president of the pre-dental club at BYU and, as such, stays busy ALL THE TIME! We see eachother late at night for about an hour, and that's it. I guess this is just getting me ready for the hours he'll be keeping at Marquette. Jax gets excited on the days when Daddy comes home for lunch (about twice per week). Eli drops in to see Jax (and me) whenever he can during the day, and sometimes Jax stays up a little past bedtime to see his daddy if it's been a while. We're all adjusting, and doing well so far!
