A very Happy Easter!

Easter is already such a joyful time when we remember that Christ has risen from the grave but this year my mom and brother's visit made it extra special!

....and for "Danel"

they have a special connection!

Highlights

So, because both kids are sleeping right now and my energy level is still okay I wanted to fill you in with the highlights of the past month or longer...

1. We found out we are having another boy and we (especially Liam who has been telling me in the weeks before that he does not want another sister but a brother) are all super excited!
2. We have a Name
3. Luis
4. Lilli turned 2!!
5. I took the train to Munich with the kids and was able to see the family.  The 6 hr train ride was pretty easy and I felt like supermom.
6. Liam and Lilli share a room and a bunk bed now and they love it.
7. Lilli pees in the toilet now....well, sometimes.... when we put her there.
8. The pregnancy has been going really good (like the others) and I feel great (apart from some heartburn and backpain issues) and the baby will come early July.
9. I am a blessed woman!
10. Everybody always guesses that Liam is 5 because he is so tall but he is only 3.8!
11. We saw Lance's old school friend perform at the Frankfurt Opera!
12. We had a great vacation in Portugal with friends we have known from Korea and their 2 kids.

14. Spring is here and life is just better with sunshine!
15. Lance and I have decided to get out of the Air Force once this assignment is over and start a new chapter with Pacific Mission Aviation!!
