Life update

We are all doing really well, especially now that we're getting over the bad cold that all three of us had the last 2 weeks. We appreciate health even more now.

Brant is keeping busy with school and work. He is in the Masters of Accounting program at BYU and has two semesters left after April. He gets excited about his audit homework and sometimes finds himself making spreadsheets just for fun. We've created a monster! He is working as a training coordinator at the MTC and is in charge of hiring and training all of the German teachers. He absolutely loves his job and we're so excited that in summer he will ONLY be working.

I am really enjoying staying home with Spencer. I have taken up scrapbooking and really have fun with it. I've also discovered how cool the library is and love getting a new book every three weeks. I've started running again now that I'm not pregnant anymore and plan to do a half-marathon this summer. My next goal is to become certified with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and do some personal or group training.

Spencer is as cute as ever. He is almost 6 months old and makes me and Brant crack up countless times everyday. He loves to smile and it doesn't take much to get a hearty laugh out of him. He just started rice cereal and will soon be moving on to sweet potatoes. I'm sure he's very excited.

We are really looking forward to summer and have some exciting things planned. Stay posted!

MARCIE! It's so fun to read your blog!! Spencer is SO ADORABLE!! That is so great that you are going to run a half-marathon. I ran my first one last April and loved the whole experience! I will do one again, but won't start training until August-ish! I'm going to e-mail my blog address to you. It will be so fun to keep in touch!

Marcie!! I'm so excited you started a blog! Spencer is so so cute! He has the most darling little face! And that's awesome you get to stay home with him all the time. That was kind of a hard transition for me going from working to being a full-time Mom, even though I always planned to stay home as soon as our first was born. Anyways, it's so fun to see pictures of you and Brant with your little guy!

Love, Camilla

Marcie,
Blogs are much easier to keep in touch aren't they? Spencer is a CUTIE! I'm glad I can check in on you every now and again.

Thanks so much for sending me your link. I loved catching up on all that you're doing and I don't think I even knew you were a Mom already! He's so cute! I also didn't know your hubby was working at the MTC. Bryan's cousin just left for Germany from there, Douglas Hiner. Anyway, time for a new post, don't you think? ;)
