Happy Easter and Special News!

Happy Easter loved ones! Today we had fun celebrating the resurrection of Jesus and all that it means. We started the day by thanking God for the new life growing inside of me, a little brother/sister for our sweet Daniel. I'm now 15 weeks pregnant and definitely showing! We are so blessed to have this new baby join our family!

 

It's been a very rough pregnancy so far physically... a lot of nausea and more recently, sciatic nerve pain that kept me in bed for a week (I'm now seeing a chiropractor and physical therapist)! But I'm hopeful that now that I'm in my second trimester, it will get easier -- the nausea has started to subside. I didn't experience much nausea in my previous two pregnancies... does this mean we're having a girl? :) Watch this space, we should find out in about a month, how exciting!

 

Daniel is so excited about his baby brother/sister. He has been so understanding that I've needed to rest more than normal and is just such a sweet boy. He is going to be a wonderful big brother -- by the time the baby arrives, he will be 5 and 1/2 and in Kindergarten! The expected due date is September 19th.

  

I loved taking these photos today, Daniel had the sweetest smile!

Out of the blue Daniel said: "It feels like a boy!"

 

 

May the risen Lord draw closer to you each day and may the truth of the resurrection bring you hope, comfort and strength today and forever.




MB: Ugh... Snow in the Spring!

Well at least Daniel was excited about it! But we're hoping this long winter ends soon!

Time to return. Grateful for our time in KL!

After over 4 weeks here in Malaysia, the day has come for us to return home. We leave with so many wonderful memories and are feeling very blessed for the quality time we had with our family. Here are some special photos we took and they will be part of our story forever. We miss you already dear Koh family!

 

MB: Daniel visited Grandpa's office today!

And had so much fun at a special kids play area and got lots of treats!

Trip to Orchid Farm!

The day after Grandpa's birthday party, his friend Stephen invited us to his orchid farm for a tour. A large group of friends and family went together and it was a really fun day. The flowers were so amazing and we felt very blessed to have the opportunity to be surrounded by thousands of orchids in different colors and sizes. Daniel had so much fun pretending the farm was his office, a jail and a space ship -- yes, only an almost 5 year old could imagine that!
