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.
