Spring Please!!!

After 3 huge storms and 3 or so feet of snow, we have broken all kinds of snow accumulation records in a small period of time. It is hilarious, we can always tell when there is going to be a big storm (not from watching the news) but driving past the grocery stores. They are packed. Milk and bread are slim pickins, and EVRYTHING closes. The kids had a nice 6 day vacation from school for snow days, which I am sad to tell them they will have to make up at the end of the year :(. They have had a blast playing, and being snowed in, and have had constant runny noses since the first storm....but with smiles :) For a state that doesn't ever get much snow...we have had plenty!

Smoochin on Frosty....yes he kisses with his tongue sticking out :)

The BIG 30!

I just officially joined the 30 club, and the good news is...is that it is over...I lost count of how many people asked how old I was. NO ONE asked last year, (course) :). I got the best surprise, my mom and my gram came to visit. It was so good to see them. It has taken some getting-used-to only seeing them 2 times a year. We got to breeze through Valley Forge in freezing weather, lunch at Cheesecake Factory, Kettle Kitchen in Amish country, and visit and laugh at just about everything-honestly loved every minute. The only thing I wanted for my birthday was a four generation picture... so good that we know the best photographer. Thanks Melia for the fun shoot-you never cease to amaze me...

Chan is 5!!!

Chandler thought he would "never" be five....neither did we :). He is so crazy about trains, especially Thomas. He had a great party with his friends. The cake was a huge hit, thankfully, it took forever, and the best part was when they left they all had black and blue lips.

This was his expression opening every present.....

Ice Skating

We went ice skating with some friends for news years. The kids did really good, and loved it until.......Chan (of course, poor kid) fell and hit his face on the ice. He almost needed a stitch or two in his lip, and his nose wouldn't stop bleeding for awhile. The saddest part was he kept sobbing saying he never wanted to go skating again. Thankfully kids forget easily, and he wanted to go again the next day :)......
