5 Months

Hello all.  I am just going to say the usual here.  He is too big, too cute,  growing too fast and I love this stage. :)  We are enjoying the warmer weather!  We are all trying to savor our last weeks at the Garthes living on the bay.  Finally, the search for our mortgage is over and we are signing our lives away ;) and will hopefully own a house soon!  There is a lot of work to be done before we move in.  We will be at Nana and Papa Spinnikens until then (thank you in advance!)  Please pray for a smooth transition for Malachi, packing, remodeling, moving, etc.  We appreciate your support and prayers thus far!

I got to experience caring for two children while we babysat Anna.  Thankfully they are both great kids!  So it was a good time.  Anna was helpful with Malachi.  (Although, I am not quite ready yet lol)
