Chase will be two on May 9th, and he is very excited. Craig and I don't know if we will have a big party now, or if we are going to wait until we are in the new house. That would mean we would try to celebrate Craig and Chase's birthday together in June. If the weather is nice mom has aggreed to let us have a party at her house on the deck....we will have to wait and see!
I have noticed a big change in Chase in the past month or so. He talks so much and repeats everything. Daddy has to be careful with his mouth and he even mimicks aunt Bethy. His newest thing is when he passes gas he yells "fart" We are trying to get him to say "toot" but he has decided it is much more fun to yell "fart" I am not sure if that is the Christiansen side or the Mahmens side??? You can decide!
He has taken a liking to writing. He will sit for hours and color and write on paper (he usually wants mommy's school papers) He tries to draw pictures of balls, so he makes lots of circles. We are doing awesome with potty training; except for pooping on the toliet.
Craig is busy with the house...... I don't ask much but I do know that he is wanting to move in this June. That would mean we are about a month behind our goal of May, which isn't bad considering the Winter we had.
I am in the midst of coaching 7th grade track at WMS. I am really enjoying it. We have 28 days of school left, but who is counting.

Welcome!
I am taking a technology class as part of my masters, and one of the things I had to do was create a blog. It was so much fun, and so easy that I am going to attempt to keep a blog going on our family.
We are still living with mom and dad, as dad is starting to think we are never going to move out. Craig is hoping to have the house done so we can move in June. I am very excited about our new house, but know that Chase is going to have a very difficult time leaving grandma and grandpa. He is very protective of them especially when Clayton and Claire visit. Even though he denies it, I know Papa Mark will miss us when we leave; especially the good-night kisses and hugs (from Chase, not Craig).
Chase is in the process of potty training. We have been working at it for awhile. He wears big boy pants all the time, except for naps and bedtime. He hates to poop in the toilet and will often go missing when it is that time. One time he hid in the closet, and the next he hid downstairs. I am trying to be patient as I know he is doing well with his age.
We were hoping to have his 2nd birthday party in the new house but don't know if that will be possible. The terrible winter has really set us back...... good thing we have understanding landlords!
