The Shurtz Family: March 2012

This Girl

Little Londy is 18 months now. She is such a sweet girl and full of energy. I am amazed at how much she is learning and growing. Her personality is developing more and more, and I think she is a lot like Darcy.
Here are some updates on our toddler:
* She still loves music and learning new songs
* She is saying lots of words and is starting to put a few words together
* She loves books and going to the Library
* We introduced potty training and London has peed 5 times on the potty
* Her mullet is getting longer and longer but the front is starting to grow too
* She love make-up and nail polish
* Her favorite toys are her babies and kitchen with play food
* She loves candy, gum, pudding and anything sweet
* She loves slides and climbing
* She likes saying prayers and tries to be very reverent
* She is officially in nursery, and I officially got called as a worker in the nursery !

We can't get enough of this sweetheart!

Baby BOY

We had our ultrasound in February. Thankfully, Darcy, was home visiting so he was able to come too. We found out we are having a baby boy!! Darcy, cheered out loud when he heard. So far everything looks healthy and the baby's measurements are right on track. We are excited (and nervous) for this little guy to join our family.

Christmas 2011

We had such a great Christmas. It was so great to be home with our families. We flew into Canada the week before Christmas, where my parents picked us up. London greeted them with this shirt!

(It says, "BIG SISTER summer 2012")

We spent Christmas day with both families. We went to church with Darcy's family, where he and his brothers sang. Then we went back to my parents new home in Raymond to open gifts. My brothers, Rob and Mack were there and Shawni and Blake. It was nice to have everyone together.
It was so fun to watch London, this year! I don't think she totally understands the whole opening presents thing, but she had fun with the wrapping paper and new toys.
Next, we headed over to the Shurtz' for more gift opening. It's was pretty crazy there, as there are now 5 grandchildren and way too many presents! London opened a few presents, but had had enough by then, so we put her down for a nap half way through.
We spent the rest of our holiday relaxing and spending time with our families. Darcy and I celebrated our 4th anniversary on December 28!
Darcy, headed back to Michigan on January 1st. I decided to stay in Canada for his next semester so I could work and get my hours that are needed to keep up my license. It's hard to be apart but we think it's the best thing for our family right now.
