what's going on...
We've been busy with life lately. Nothing exciting really. Noah's been working more on potty training. Madelynn is standing alone, still not walking but standing. Abigail's growing into a beautiful little girl, very strong willed though. I've been working out at the gym A LOT. Chris has been working A LOT. We've just been living life. Abigail's dance recital will be in May, we're excited about that. She'll also enroll in may to Zarrow International, which I'm totally excited about! We've met a lot of new friends on a group online, they're some really great people and we have a lot of things in common with them (ie. kids). God blessed Chris and I with tickets to go to "A Weekend to Remember" marriage conference, which in itself was amazing. I must thank my dad and step-mom for keeping our rowdy kids all weekend. It was a much needed vacation and we didn't even realize it. I never realized just how important it is for young couples such as ourselves to have a minute alone. It's a vital part of a marriage. Thank you to them for doing that for us! Other than that, there's nothing to tell. I'll post some new pics soon. We're having some family pics taken tomorrow at a park here in Tulsa, so as soon as I get those, I'll put them on here. Thanks for taking the time to read this, leave me some comments :)

we got the letter....
Finally, yesterday we got the letter. Let me fill you in. In January Chris and I went for a tour at one of Tulsa's two immersion schools, Zarrow International. There are very few immersion schools in the state, and Tulsa has 2 of them. Eisenhower teaches in French and Spanish. Zarrow teaches in only Spanish. The students there learn everything in Spanish until the 2nd grade when Engilsh is introduced. By the time the child finishes elementary school in the 5th grade they're fluent in the chosen language. So, we went for the tour and filled out the application. This has been the longest 4 months of our life I believe, aside from those last 4 while being pregnant! We got the letter yesterday, and it said, "Congratulations, Abigail Goodman has been accepted into Zarrow International."
I've never been so excited about anything in my life! Ok, well, maybe somethings but this was awesome! We're so excited, we really think that she'll thrive here. She's been doing excellent in her preschool class at the church and we just don't want her to stop where she's at, she's doing kindergarten work and reading some already.
I just wanted to fill everyone in on our exciting news!!!
We hope that you're having a blessed Spring and hope to see you all soon!
