Starting it back up...

Hi All! Trying to start this blog back up... ! It's been over a year since I have updated, or even thought about writing on here. So i have a lot to update! Since our last post... We have finished up our time on the island of St Maarten... and Damen is officially finished with his second year of Medical School! YAY! Thank the Lord. It was a long and difficult two years, but worth it in every way. Its amazing how fast time goes in retrospect. Jack is now Two and a half... amazing. He is talking up a storm, and exploring his world in new ways everyday. It's so fun for us to see the world through his eyes. Since we have moved home to the states Jack has learned about things that he never got the chance to experience on the island... like garage doors, and vacuum cleaners. It never get's old seeing him quizzically look at the dishwasher and say "what's that"?
We are excited to share that we are adding a new member to our family...Baby Lucy... who arrives in March. Most days i am so thrilled, and can't wait for her to get here =)... and some days i think i must be crazy.
It was such a nice Christmas this year... Jack really is starting to understand what this Santa thing is all about. He lovvvves Christmas... because to him Christmas means presents. So every morning for a week, (after Christmas) he would pop out of bed and say "It's Christmas!!".... and i would have to explain to him that Christmas is only one day a year. Needless to say, he was disappointed.
Now that the holidays are over we had to get back to reality. Damen left last week for Chicago ... sigh... to attend an intensive study session for 4 weeks. He is there to better prepare himself for the USMLE step 1 (set of boards) he is going to take in February. We miss him terribly, but know he's gotta do what he's gotta do.
But all in all, life really is sweet for us. We are all happy and healthy, with no major complaints. I will keep this updated on all the upcoming excitement in our lives (haha).... Until then!
