"It is within our families that we learn unconditional love, which can come to us and draw us very
close to God's love. It is within families that values are taught and character is built,"

30 weeks!!

I really can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone!! I only have a little less than 10 weeks to go and I'm getting very anxious. I feel like there is lots of do before he gets here; especially with our new home. Other than that, I've felt very good. Lea definitely keeps me busy. We are trying to talk to her a lot about being a big sister. She knows that I have a baby growing in my belly. She kisses it and touches it, but other than that I don't think she really has a full comprehension of what is going to happen. We got her some "Big Sister" books, put she rather read other ones... She'll get it eventually!!

Home!!!

We put an offer on a home and after going back and forth a few times,  it was accepted!!! The closing date is June 25th. We are so excited!! Jason and I are truly grateful for his parents and how much they have helped us through this process. The home is exactly what we wanted. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, and a separate family and living room (That's something that I really wanted). Yesterday, we had the inspection and I was able to take some pictures of the inside of the home. There is some work that needs to be done to the inside and outside, but we are really excited to make it our own. Here is a sneak peak of the Home!-- Some picture might be blurry.

The Home sits on a flag lot, so there is lots of privacy

Our Portland Adventure

After visiting Seattle we came to the conclusion that there are lots of things to do in the city. We have always been in the suburbs and haven't really explore the city of Portland at all. A few weeks ago, we decided that it was time to check out Portland. We decided to go to the Ira Keller fountain and also to the Crystal Springs Garden. It was a very hot day and we had lots of Fun. We invited my little sister, Keally and Lea really enjoyed her company. 














We truly enjoyed our adventure and we can't wait to explore more.
