The Wittrock Family Blog: April #2: Change is in the Air

Here Brecken is posing with her new rake...I have the fluffiest carpets in town. She drags that thing everywhere. What a pose...what a doll!

Wow what a season we are in...things are getting exciting to say the least. I would be lying if I did not say I was a little nervous and filled with anticipation. I know that everything will work out and change is good. We are so just enjoying today and taking in all the good things around us...which there are many, so many! The weather has been wonderful and we have been spending a lot of our days at the park. The rain we have gotten has made everything so green and beautiful...hard to stay indoors.

John is really busy with flight school. He has had many long days of studying, flights, and simulators. He is currently on his last set of simulators which will be finished this week. He will be doing his cross country flight this coming weekend. He will leave Friday and return on Sunday...he will be going to Athens, Georgia. This will count as 5 flights so he will be completely finished with his schooling next Monday or Tuesday! Wow how time flies. We are set to make our aircraft selection on May 7th, but think that it might get moved up a week or so. John is not quite sure what he will be selecting yet, but knows that YHWH will lead him to make the right decision. I know he will...til then we will wait and see.

I am doing great and feeling ready to have little Miss Baylen. I have almost 36 weeks and we have been busy getting all the baby stuff out of storage and washed up. John has always said that she will come on May 8th, so we will wait and see what the day brings. I don't have a date in mind, but I am feeling that we will not make it til May 20th or at least hoping...ha. I am getting all the newborn clothes and diapers out and getting bags ready for the hospital...so I guess you could say that I am in the heart of "nesting."

Brecken is a blast to be with everyday. What a joy she is...keeping me busy and filling my day with laughter. She has enjoyed checking out all the baby stuff we have pulled out and has even tried some of it out to see if it will be safe for her sister...what a sight that was. She is talking more and more everyday. She is learning words like "oose" for juice and"nigh nigh" for night night. We have invested in some big girl toys for her and she has enjoyed playing with those. We go to the park a lot together and have playdates about 2 times a week with her friend Benjamin. She is getting very excited for her sister's arrival and also the arrival of her Aunt Julie who will be coming to visit on May 8th!

So many unknowns are around the corner and our lives will be very different in the next couple of weeks. We are looking forward to the future and enjoying our todays. I will keep you all informed of how are we are doing. We love you all and look forward to writing the next update that will be sure to bring you all...BIG NEWS!!!

Daddy's Little Girl...Brecken so enjoys the time she spends with her daddy. As soon as he comes home from work she rarely leaves his side...as you can see most of the time he doesn't even get out of his flight suite for a couple hours. Hey who can blame him?

Here is a pic of Brecken and her new friend Ben. They went to an egg hunt together and had a great time jumping in the bounce house!

This was Brecken's first scavenger hunt. Her and her daddy both had such a great time reading their clues and searching for their eggs. They both played their parts...daddy read the clues while Brecken licked the eggs.

We have not become "beach bums" yet, but we have definately become "farm fanatics." There is nothing better then the warm sunshine on your face, a cool breeze blowing your hair, and little Brecken looking absolutely adorable in her Florida sunhat.
