In like a lion!

Its been awhile since we posted on here and since it is a gloomy day out, what a better day to sit back and reflect on the last month.  If you ask J, C, and K, March has arrived like a lion.  It has been rainy, busy, and full of zest! Since the last post, the new house has become home.  J, C, and K like coming back at night and realizing that this is the house they will grow together as a family and begin their identity in the community. 

Speaking of community identity, J has made a big announcement on March 2nd he announced that he would be a candidate for the Bismarck City Commission (Click here for the article). You can view his campaign website at http://www.joshaskvig.com/.  J, C, and K look forward to sharing Josh's vision for the future of Bismarck and hope you will tell your friends, relatives, neighbors, and everyone you know who lives in Bismarck about what a great guy J is and how he would be an excellent commissioner. Also, he is taking contributions!

C is busy at work and raising a son and creating a home.  She is a wonderful mother, loving wife, and is happily nesting into the new home.  She also is spending her time making J look good in this campaign. He is lucky to have a former 1st runner-up Miss ND doing his wardrobe!

Last but not least, K.  This little man is growing like a weed.  At 5 months old he already needed his first haircut and Grandma Lucy cut off about an inch. Now at almost 6 months of age he knows how to roll over from stomach to back like a pro he talks to his friends, cats, and parents constantly, has started eating rice cereal and vegetables and is growing up right beneath everyone's eyes.  Also, he is excited because in August he gets to meet his cousin Ham Bone! Yep uncle E and auntie J are expecting. K is excited to teach little cuz the ropes of being an Askvig!

The catnip kids are slowly figuring out the new digs.  Lola in her infinite wisdom decided to get outside the other day and ended up spending the day out in the snow and cold.  Lucky for her and J, C found her outside right before everyone went to bed.  Boy I hope they figure out this keep an eye on the kids thing before K starts walking!

We hope everyone is doing well and are looking forward to seeing many of you in the coming weeks ahead. Stay in touch!
