Nearing the End

2 weeks and counting. That is what is left of the Spring quarter at Fuller. For Amanda it will signify the end of the most hectic quarter ever and for Dave it will be the end of his seminary experience. Needless to say, we are both excited for the end of the 2 weeks to arrive. Meanwhile, we have a ton of school work to complete on top of work, co-op stuff and caring for Mason. So, in the words of Jim Halpert, "Lord, beer me the strength!" We are planning an end of the quarter/graduation blow out on Sunday, June 10. It will be a great way to celebrate the end of the quarter as well as the end of our time in our community. Many of the Fuller people in our building will be moving out and moving on, including us. We will be serving as Community Coordinators in a new Fuller community about 3 miles away. We are still awaiting the details and official offer though. It'll be weird living somewhere new after being in this apartment for 3 1/2 years. But I think we are all ready for a change.

Meanwhile, Mason is plugging along oblivious to the stress of his parents. He has popped yet another tooth and we think working on some more. He is adding words to his vocab pretty consistently now. He says "more", "please", "drink", "up" on top of the words he's been using for a while. It's fun to hear his cute, high pitched voice try to say all these words. He is still singing and dancing away. We are starting to recognize that his draw toward music goes beyond that of other 18 month olds. Perhaps, we'll have a musician? Meanwhile, we are just trying to encourage him in his music without being pushy.

We'll post some new pictures and video as soon as our camera is repaired!
