I don't know how it got to be the end of April already. This past month has been crazy and stressful. Zach was laid off in March, which led to us making the decision that he would go to school full time for the rest of this year. He will have his Associates degree in December and then we'll have more decisions to make from there. Since he is going to be taking 5 classes this semester he's just looking for part time work, so we moved in with my parents this week so Zach can focus on school without us having to worry about our finances. We feel like this is the right decision for us right now but it has been difficult. We loved the ward we were living in and having our own space for our little family. I think my parents must be the most generous people in the whole world. They have given up space in their home and dealt with many inconveniences in order to help us. We are so grateful to them.
Marseille update:
Marseille started to really walk by herself at the end of January. She loves to go for walks and sometimes just runs everywhere she goes. She still loves binkies to the point of ridiculousness. There are often 5 or 6 binkies in her crib with her and she falls asleep with a binkie in each hand and one in her mouth. I have don't even want to think about the fight it will be when we decide to eliminate binkies. She loves animals and is very talented at making a variety of animal noises. She makes the sounds for sheep, elephants, dogs, cats, snakes, chickens, lions, cows, monkeys, bunnies, and fish. Her favorite thing to say is "Dada."She repeats it over and over and when she sees Zach she'll point and say "Dada" or say "hi Dada." She loves getting attention from strangers. When we go places she waves and smiles and says hi to anyone who look at her. She's a little cheese ball.
