Something Fun

It is the craziest thing when you can remember being a first grader.....and now you have one, not only that, but one that looks like you. Maddie was so excited to see the Statue of Liberty, and thought I had my picture taken in New York :)......close enough...

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...
