Wow everyone, sorry for being so long in updating this thing! :) The last five months have just flown by since being up here. We have enjoyed our time so far and can't believe it's already 2011. Many exciting things have happened, the number one being the anticipated arrival of "Little Guy" in late April. Only a few months away! As you all know, we are expecting our first child... (if you didn't know that I am SO sorry!) Everything is going well, and mom and baby are fine and dandy. He has started to move around quite a bit and yesterday he was really active. It's fun to feel him. So far he hasn't kept me (Lacey)...or Jeremy for that matter....awake yet.
The first month or so, I (L) didn't do a whole lot as I was dealing with some morning sickness, but now that I am feeling better, I am definetly in the nesting stage! :-D I have been researching online and reading books, looking at name ideas, and finished our registries the other day.

Jeremy has kept plenty busy between being involved here at the radio station, church activities, random projects, being "Mr. Fix It" on just about anything you can think of, and also doing some flying.
Below are some pictures to recap August-December.....
First up: Baby's 1st photos!
Above: Leg and armBelow: Profile (head shot)
Here is something fairly new- 4-D ultrasound! SO amazing!! We were able to see his whole body, but only captured half his body in this pic. He is on his side and you can see his little bottom, leg and arm. Here he was only about 12 oz or so. Now he should be a pound and a half or so.
A few side shots of Lacey as she progresses.
21 or 22 weeks- can't remember. :)
Here are some Ptarmagin that showed up at the station in mid September. If you look closely you can see some white on them. During the Summer/Fall they are brown, but start to turn white for Winter. Just the other day I saw several of them and they were completly white and really pretty. We hear they taste good too. :)
Sunday Evening Church Service on the Beach... one of our last warmer days.
Tilt your head, can't figure out how to turn this.....remember for any of these pictures you can click on them to make them bigger.
The end of September, Jeremy and I had the privelage of helping out with a Fall Retreat for the youth of the area. By Area, we mean, surrounding villages too. About 1/2 the kids were from here in Naknek/King Salmon, but the other half were flown in. Praise the Lord for nice weather for the pilots. It was a very fun weekend and it's nice to be able to get all the youth together.

This is a picture of the church in the village of Egegik (pronounced Ig-a-gik) - about a half hour or so flight from here. This fall Jeremy, Bob Lee (radio station manager) and Pastor Jeff flew there to check out some of the radio equipment. We are able to broadcast to several surrounding villages. Isn't technology something else?

Welcome to Winter! I don't remember when this picture was taken, but it was probably the end of October or beginning of November. Winter seems to go on for quite a while here (especially since it's only January), but boy, it sure is beautiful when the sun is shining, and everything is covered with sparkling snow or ice. We have had many sunning days, for which we are grateful. Especially when it is about 2 degrees with a windchill of -30 or -40!
A trip that Jeremy and Pastor Jeff took to deliver some quilts to a village.
Whoops, back to Egegik :)
A beautiful double rainbow here in Naknek
Christmas Program put on by our church and the Community church- the kids did great for the amount of practice time they had.

And that about sums it up!
Thank you all for your prayers and support! We appreciate it! We're looking foward to the next coming months, especially when April rolls around! We'll be headed down to Washington State for the birth, so we look foward to being around family and friends. Sounds like it will be a busy next couple of months until then, especially for Jeremy.
May God Bless each one of you!
