I have been a bad blogger lately- sorry! It seems as though I have been barely keeping my head above water these last few weeks, with retreats and conferences and visitors and parties and so on. Mark and I had an amazing weekend this past weekend at Family Life's "Weekend to Remember" conference. Wow. We walked away having shared some great conversations and feeling like we have some great tools to make our marriage even better. If you have never been to one, I strongly recommend it. No matter where your marriage is at, there will be something there for you. Awesome. Plus, we got to spend some time with old friends from Lynden and new friends from Lake City. So much fun. Markus spent Friday and Saturday with his Abu (thanks mom!) and Sunday with his Auntie Cindy and buddy Isaiah at the hotel in Bellevue. He was such a trooper.
Speaking of Markus... at 12 months he is still only in the 10th percentile for height and weight- but still the 95th for head size! He started crawling on April 6th and by April 13th was comfortable crawling on the carpet, but was still freezing when he hit the wood floors. On the 15th he started cruising the wood floors, sitting up on his own and clapping. It was a big day. He loves to cruise all over the house, and will often stop, sit up and clap for himself. It's adorable. He's definitely gaining preferences when it comes to what he wants to eat (where did the boy that would eat anything go?) and he is starting to hear the phrases "no touch", "obey mommy" and "don't throw your cup" quite often :). He is quite the sickie again, but without the ear infection this time! He had a horribly high fever yesterday and today and was lethargic and cranky and had little appetite. After a previously scheduled appt with an ear specialist (to schedule his tube surgery for May 9) we were off to a peds appt to figure out this nasty fever. Over two hours later, we left with a "possible viral infection". That was after I had to hold him down for both a catheter and a blood draw. I never want either of those jobs again. His bloodwork was "inconclusive"- we are waiting for some more testing to come back tomorrow. But after a three hour nap when we got home, he was almost acting like himself again, was eating well, crawling around and no longer warm to the touch. So we'll see.
There's the update. We have this weekend "off" from any major activities (but I do get to have a girls night out on Friday that I am really looking forward to) and I am looking forward to the three of us just being together and home. There really is no better place to be!

These pictures are adorable, and make us miss you all three. Twas a wonderful time with you all. We can't thank you enough. Pray Markus is "all better". Keep up the wonderful work you are all doing. It is exciting to see God working in and through you. We have no greater joy than to know our children walk in truth. (I think a guy named John wrote that over 1900 yrs. ago, but it works for us.) Love you so much, mama w.
Thanks for the update on Markus. I was wondering how he was doing and was just going to email you about him. We had such a great time catching up with the three of you. Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend! Taya =)
