So life has with a 2 year old and a baby can be a bit crazy and exhausting.

We had a really nice visit back to MN and WI over Christmas and were able to see alot of family (although we missed the Siegmann's due to bad weather).

Here is a quick update on where we are in life right now:

---

Paul is just about to enter his last semester of Seminary and we are looking forward to what God has in store for us after this. It is such an exciting time. We can't wait for Paul to only have a job!

Silas talks a mile a minute and loves to play with his cars and trucks. His favorite thing to do is to reinact scenes from the movie CARS, which he got for Christmas... I think we watch at least part of it 1-2 times a day! His other two obsessions: wearing mesh shorts and fruit snacks!

Maggie is getting so big, 4 months old already! At her last doctor's appointment she was 75th percentile all around... 14 lbs 12 oz! She is starting to enjoy playing with her toys more and even has afew favorites. She loves baths, she splashes everything in sight and I think would stay in there for hours if I let her! Her favorite thing to do is watch Silas. She thinks he is so amazing... if he even looks at her she just lights up. There are times when he is the only one that can bring a smile, and often a laugh, to her face!

Right now our biggest challenge is getting Maggie back on track after a 2 1/2 week trip. She has been having trouble sleeping at night so we are having to do some serious sleep trianing... tonight is night two, hopefully we will see an improvement.
