Husband is still in the midst of his first semester of college, first out of 4 years of them. He only has about 3.5 weeks to go yet for this semester, though, and he's doing REALLY well (he generally gets close to 100, if not over, for every single test and assignment). He has a high standard of perfection for himself. These are just the pre-reqs though, so we shall see how it goes in the future. The best part of his attending school is that he is getting paid to go, so he's not having to work another job around farming and school to support us. Add that to IL's support of school-going veterans, and we're doing well.
G has hopped on her bike WITHOUT training wheels, so hopefully that will continue to develop. For the most part she's doing well in school, but she does have a few struggle issues that she'll be working through with a tutor this summer.
J is almost potty trained! We've been hoping we would make this breakthrough before the baby comes, so we wouldn't have two in diapers, and while he's not COMPLETELY there, he's close. Pants and outings seem to be our stumbling blocks, but yesterday he hustled me out of over 10 Oreos just for pooping on the potty. And I'm happy to give them if it shows him that the potty, and not his underwear, is where poop belongs.
Tiny is a girl! We found out around 22 weeks, but then it was verified further about 10 days ago in another ultrasound they wanted to do to make sure that a fibroid in my uterus wasn't going to hinder her growth. She's growing big and strong, kicking like crazy. Meanwhile, while she grows, I'm actually LOSING weight. Go figure. I'll take it though, since I'm far more prepared and determined to nurse this baby, I'll likely lose a lot more with a quickness when she's out!
And finally, one of our newest developments: we bought a house. I know, I know, we were gonna build and turn it into an off-the-grid wonder that would make normal people today wonder what was wrong with us...but due to some timing issues, between family and a new baby, we found a well-priced house that just needs a little love, and then we will have a lovely home that we OWN, that we can move into before Tiny gets here, and even before G comes for her summer visit. We're very excited; this month before closing has been the longest month in the history of forever. My parents, ever the blessing, are gifting us with paint, and hard labor, so that we can get it looking more like ours before any of our stuff gets in there. I'll try to post progress pictures once some of the work is done. :D
I think that's all for now. Farming season is about to kick in gear, and we FINALLY have a decent week of weather, so hopefully we'll be shrooming soon too, along with moving and having some outside time for poor, cooped up J!
