32 Weeks
I apologize for any misunderstanding you might have had - I didn't mean to cause any undue alarm with my post yesterday... we are still happily expecting a precious little one at the end of April! Yesterday marked a would-be birthday for another little one we never got to meet. Our Heavenly Father is abundant in loving-kindness and tender mercies, and we have experienced that greatly over the past year. We have been blessed with new life, and we are so excited to welcome a new little brother or sister for Peter in about 8 weeks time. Everything is going very well, baby is very active and growing well and we can't wait to see each other face to face!

Some Photos...
Peter learning about electricity... well maybe not learning too much
since I can't explain to him why this thing works the way it does,
but he's interested in it anyways
He climbed into the diaper box while I was entering the Pampers Points
online and was having a grand old time with his books
Uh oh... Daddy left his school books out for Peter to read...
here he is learning all about the Azteks and how creepy they were,
I hope he doesn't get nightmares...
Playing in the snow - he wasn't very impressed with all that cold stuff
but that probably had a lot to do with him not feeling too well,
as he came down hard with the flu that evening
Going for a walk to the bridge on Family Day
Walking with Aunt Karen and Uncle Dave after playing in the park
