Quinn is 15 months now! He's growing so fast. He's a ton of fun, loves to play, and is very vocal. He's not really talking yet, but he's learning to communicate. He's learning sign language and he knows probably 20 + signs. He knows the sign for baby, mommy, daddy, eat, drink, please, thank you, ball, doll, car, coat, shoes, hat, banana, more, socks, milk, cup, help, sleep, bath, blanket, cold, hot, dog, all done, etc. etc. etc. He also gets in these very silly moods and he just makes us laugh so much. He also loves the snow. He loves to walk in it and get it all over his shoes. He's also learned what dogs are and he loves them. He hasn't seen a real one, but if he sees a picture of one or one on the tv, he gets really excited. I'm so lucky to have such a fun, happy boy.
As for me, my biggest news is that I started training to become a certified labor/ birth doula. I'm really excited for this! I've wanted to do it since Quinn was born and we had a doula present then. I've thought about it a few times and I decided to finally start it. To be certified I have to be the main doula at 2 different births and then I have a lot of other work to do online and lots of studying to do. I'm also going to start shadowing a doula here in town to gain as much experience as I can. I'm really excited for the possibilities and opportunities this will bring to me and my family. For my first two births that I need to be certified I'm offering my services for free so if you know of anyone that's pregnant that would like a doula, please let me know or you can give them my contact info.
Lawrence started a new semester and he's excited to get into more of his major classes. He's pretty much done with his generals now so everything goes towards his major/minor. He's also busy with the property. He's the main guy that does the snow removal, other than the assistant managers that we hired that help out. With all of the snow that we get up here in Rexburg, that keeps him busy.
Well that's a short update for now. We had a great holiday, even though it consisted of moving a few days before Christmas. Luckily it was only down to the basement of the same house we were already in, but we made it through and we're almost done unpacking. We hope this message finds everyone well.

Yay for updates!! I'm glad to hear that things are going so well for you all up in Rexburg!! That's so cool about the doula thing you're working towards!! Congrats on that, I'm sure you'd naturally be great at it! Can't wait to see some pictures!
Hey, that's really cool. I've only recently realized what Doula's were, but a friend of mine had one at her birth and it seemed to help her a lot. I'm sure it will be a very rewarding job for you. If I get pregnant in the next year or two, and you want to come to Texas, you can be my doula :).
