Spring is here!


We're still in Provo, Utah, enjoying the Spring! Levi is finishing his undergrad in Physiology and considering PA school, Chiropractic school, and Med school. The hard thing to decide is not only what to study, but especially where. He'll be applying on the East and West coasts, in England, and possibly in Australia...can you guess my top choice? Australia! You see where my priorities are! But nothing's for sure yet. He still has Spring, Summer and Fall semester at BYU.
I started my Masters in French Studies this Winter semester...they offer the option of finishing in one year and I am planning on graduating at the same time as Levi, in december. My thesis is focused on French politics and culture, and I hope, one day, of getting a PhD so as to teach at the university.

Most importantly, our beautiful daughter, Eve, is now 18-months-old. She is the joy of our lives...She keeps blossoming with the most agreeable personality; don't get me wrong, she does throw tantrums and can sometimes be winy as well, but all in all, she brings a sweet and happy spirit into our home. She babbles all the time and is prone to speak French (the only language we speak at home)...she is very good at saying: "non!" and "ballon", her two favorite words. She loves reading, going to the library, watching baby einstein videos, going on the slide, and eats pretty much everything she gets her hands on. For some reason, she abhors going on the swings...I can't figure it out since I am a big fan, but she's been like since birth (never liked her baby swing).
Our schedule is quite hectic this semester with th both of us going to school...I'm sure Tessa can relate: Levi goes to school in the morning and I stay home with Eve, get the both of us ready for the day and play until daddy gets home for lunch...then I leave for class at noon, teach French 101-102 Accel. at 3pm and get home between 4:30 and 5pm.
So far, it's been working out great and I am thrilled to be back at school....but I am getting so baby hungry again (our ward is the most baby prolific ward in the south of campus area!). I would love to announce an expected birth in the near future, but then again, I wish to wait as long as I can before announcing that I am pregnant again. To clear the confusion: No, I am not pregnant, and when I'll be, I will be the last one to announce it...until the baby's born, of course!
I think that Eve would enjoy having a sibling so much...she gets tired of us, the boring grown-ups, but at the same time, we are able to devote ourselves to her.

Oh, I wish I was able to go on walks and play with you guys in Provo! You sound great. Good luck with everything, especially with the big decisions coming up. And Eve is adorable, of course!

You guys look lovey, and it is fantastic to keep up with you. Best of luck with the big future decisions. We love you.
Dad says that he is totally confident that you will make the right decisions as you take it to the Lord in prayer. xxxxxx
