I (Alicia) hadn't written anything in a while, so I thought I'd write a few thoughts.
We've had more snow in the past month than we have all winter. I unfortunately didn't get any good pictures. Every time it snowed, several times a day for a few days, it would melt slightly but not completely then it would snow and add more. Today and yesterday have been very messy on the street with warmer temperatures. Melting snow in the city is a muddy, wet mess!

Well, I think everyone knows at this point, but Brett and I are going to have a baby at the beginning of September! That's the most exciting thing to share. We have our second appointment next week. We absolutely love our Dr. She was very warm and encouraging and spent lots of time with us explaining everything. Here is our baby's first picture! He/She is the white fuzzy to the left.

We plan to go the States this summer to be with our families and to give birth. I'm very excited to share this time with them!

School is quickly coming to a close. It feels like we just started. I am no where near fluent, but I sure can say a lot more than I could this time last year. I can have chit chat in the elevator with neighbors and a week or so ago I met a lady when I was out with Lilly. She was also out with her dog. She actually started the conversation and asked about Lilly. We talked at least 10-15 minutes. I did a lot of listening and trying my best to understand. I didn't understand every word but I think I understood all the main ideas. I hope to run into her again soon.

Thank you to all who read to keep up with us and thank you for your prayers.
