We’re Still Alive

That’s right…we’re still here…just a little behind on things. Asia was sick last week, and we’ve been quite busy with Joel working, and preparing for the baby, and some other events going on in our lives. So I’m finally finishing the update that I started awhile ago.

Joel had some help from his brother-in-law, boss, and a friend from church laying tile in the entryway and kitchen of our church. Besides that, he’s been working…and doing a few things here and there, like helping fix a friend’s computer.

Joel has started teaching me bass again. We took a few weeks off, without meaning to, and are finally getting back into it again. I’m doing surprisingly well, I must say. I still have a lot to learn, but I’m having more fun than I expected I would. My belly has slowed down a little in growing…which is good; my clothes will last longer. I’ve been seeing a chiropractor, and sleeping on a new mattress – both have helped my back pain greatly. Now if I can just stop getting up 3 times a night to go to the bathroom…

Asia has started forming mini sentences. She’s had a huge vocabulary for quite some time, but rarely would use more than one word at a time. So lately she’s been saying, “Asia’s blanket,” “Mommy’s chair,” “Daddy’s cereal,” and the like. She’ll even get three words in with some things: “Big girl bed,” and “Asia’s white blanket” or “white baby blanket.” I’ve caught a few choppy, backwards sentences too (can’t think of an example right now).

I’ve finally finished the baby’s room! Yay! Well…almost. There’s still some decorating that needs to be done, but I’m waiting until he arrives to do that, since we’re not entirely sure what name he’ll be going by. We’ve decided on John Gage, but as far as the specifics of how we refer to him, it will be either: Johnny, Gage, or Rockstar (from the nick-name Johnny Gage the Rockstar). See how we’re a little torn?? So many to choose from!
