New chapters for the Andersens...

Change #1: Cameron has been our ward's Scoutmaster for about three years. At first, I think he was intimidated and overwhelmed but he finally got the hang of it. I even bought him his first backpacking tent this Christmas. If there was one thing that calling required, it was his time (planning, meetings, activities, campouts, more meetings). But, in January, Cameron was released and has admitted it to be bittersweet for him. To be honest, I think he is bored. So, I've been doing what any good wife would do and put him to work (work I know he loves doing, of course).

He has built all kinds of shelves for our closets which I am loving!

He built this adorable picnic table for the kids

He has more time to spend with the kids like building space ships and playing in the snow.

This is a project that is overdue for this blog but I still wanted to record it for our family's memory sake. Cameron built a shed/playhouse last summer. The front half is the shed and the back half is the playhouse. The kids play in it all the time, even the winter. Wish I had a better picture of the final product. I finally got around to making curtains for it.

Change #2: I have been the primary secretary about as long as Cam was Scoutmaster and I, too, was released - just last week. Once again, bittersweet. We have both loved our callings and after serving in the same calling for that long, you get comfortable where you are. I guess it was time for a change. I went to Relief Society for the first time in three years and I have to admit, I missed the loud, entertaining, 'I need to go to the bathroom' all the time primary kids. Sunday never felt like three hours and I often wished I could wear tennis shoes. I will miss my Wednesday night meetings/forced girls' nights out. The ladies I have worked with (some have come and gone) have all been awesome and I'm going to miss them!! It just won't ever be the same.

Change #3: A new baby (very soon!). I have been getting ready for baby #3 (deep cleaning/organizing everything - a horrible obsession I wish I could be cured of) and trying to relax. I can't believe she is almost here. It has been the fastest pregnancy for me yet.

Using my belly for a desk or a table always works out nicely. I feel huge in the red dress but it's the only full body shot I had. I guess I feel that way about any prego picture taken of me.

I wish I had better pictures but here is a shot of a little of the organizing I've done. Connor's and Allie's toys can now be found thanks to all of Cameron's new closet shelves.

The baby's due date is February 28th, but the doctor thinks she might be earlier than that. What do those guys know, anyway, right? I'll probably have the baby on Easter. Either way, though, please keep us in your prayers, and we'll keep you posted.
