UPDATE TIME FOR EVERYONE!

Ladies, I am eager to hear how all of you are doing. So I will be the first to give an update. I tell ya, you really become a parent when all day you talk about pee and poop and you clap and shout hooray when your child poops in the toilet. It is quite an exciting event, we even wave goodbye as the poop gets flushed down the toilet. I thought about posting a picture of that, but thought you would prefer if I didn't.

I am huge!!!! And even my maternity clothes are getting snug. I feel bad for Kevin because most days I stay in his pajama pants and an oversize Michigan T-shirt. I put jeans on the other day and we were joking about how I actually made an effort, pretty sad. He is a sweetheart about it though. We just laugh about pregnancy.

We have decided that Kevin will live in New York by himself this summer. It is cheaper and smarter for me to stay with the 2 boys here in Michigan. We will have more space, all of our baby gear, and not have to get used to a brand new city while I am still getting used to a brand new baby. So, please feel free to come and visit me anytime this summer. Michigan is a beautiful place in the spring, summer, and fall (just not the winter).

I am still the Laurel advisor, which is a lot of fun. Kevin just got called as Gospel Doctrine teacher and I love sitting in his lessons and listening to him teach and bear his testimony! Ethan LOVES nursery and cries when we come to pick him up (the opposite of every other kid).

For Christmas my parents got us a webcam, so if you ever want to have a video chat let me know. We talk to all of my siblings on Skype weekly now. It is a fun way for the cousins to remember each other. Ethan lasts about 2 minutes, but it is still fun! I also learned how to crochet in order to make Kevin a scarf for Christmas, and now I have made 3 total and am working on a 4th and 5th scarf. You know me, I like to stay busy. This way I can stay busy while Kevin and I watch a movie or a show at night. I feel productive but am relaxing at the same time. If you want a scarf, send me what colors and pattern and I can try it for you!

We went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner last night night and I got a Miso Seafood Salad, it was amazing, my new favorite. If you ever go there, try it! The snow is so thick on the ground, but it has actually been sunny for a few days now, sunny but below freezing. Winter lasts forever here, so I won't be expecting anything warmer until April, and even then we still get snow occasionally until May or June even.

I still update my blog occasionally, kevintarahenderson.blogspot.com and that is probably the first place we will post news about the baby when he comes.

I think that is everything. I love you all and miss you so much!!! I am not joking about visiting me...I would love it!
