It's done. Time for ketchup...catch up.

My online classes are DONE!! Finalmente he terminado y tengo mucho feliz porque estoy muy embarazada y ya no funciona el cerebro. My classes were working toward a certification to teach English language learners in California. Thought it might be a good idea to try to brush up my Spanish skills, which have always been way better with reading and writing. I have great pronunciation, but my speaking skills are like my public piano playing skills--I just clam up when it's time to perform. Jeremy has some new missionaries in his office and they are a couple from the Spanish ward. They actually live in our ward boundaries. They are very eager to get Jeremy and I speaking Spanish again. They were not shy about letting us know they were looking for a pianist for their ward choir and a Sunday School teacher. :)

So, some quick facts about what has been going on recently:

Jeremy had a birthday on St. Patrick's Day, and wore his awesome bow tie and top hat that the senior sister missionaries got him. We got carpet in our living room--a HUGE improvement on having to clean so much tile and grout AND the echo is gone. Mommy loves a quiet house. :) The kids won't stop growing. I kind of had to let them run a little wild for the last 6 months that I've been doing my classes, and feeling sick and tired from being pregnant, but they are in for a shock. Healthy meals and fewer cartoons again! I passed my glucose screening test. Yay! I'm only 28 weeks and I already feel like the baby's gonna drop out of me every time I stand up. Really achy a lot. Bad water retention. Even at 9 am, I can already push a good half inch dent into my shins. Other than that, we are pretty happy. It was a great Spring Break that we had. Jeremy took some time off, we got a lot of landscaping done in the backyard, we spent tons of time outdoors at the park, went for bike rides, and walks, got haircuts, went out to lunch as a family, had an outdoor movie party with friends, made a family history photo book for the kids, and today we have a retirement party and a birthday party to go to. Excited to do an egg hunt in the backyard tomorrow morning since Jeremy will be out of town for Easter Sunday. Now we just chug along to the end of the school year and wait for baby to come.
