Snowy Days of February

We've gotten so much snow here lately - lots of family time together and time spent with neighbors and friends. It's very unusual to have this many storms... in December we had the Snowpocalypse, then we had a few "small" snows of 4-5 inches each, and now we're going through Snowmaggedon... we had 26 inches over the weekend and today we're expecting somewhere around 10 more.... here are some pictures as we dig out! The bottom picture is fromt he first snow in February with some neighborhood friends, the other pictures are from the most recent snowfall.

Pictures Anyone?

Loving each other - notice Ryan's footwear!

Still Moving

I know it's been awhile since the last post. This will be an update - words only. Hoping to get some pictures up tomorrow - but you know how things go.

Let's see - since mid-April....
Katie turned 4. Sean turned 38. Ryan turned 2. I did not have a birthday, but was celebrated because of Mother's Day!

Ryan spent an afternoon in the ER getting IV fluids while battling rotovirus. Sean had acute bronchitis. I had strep throat. Katie "only" had a 12 hour fever. At the moment we all appear to be enjoying renewed health!

We closed on a new townhome-condo. The sellers had to lease back so we'll be moving in around the 9th of July or so. This will be the last move we hope to do for at least the next ten years - maybe longer! Oh, I hope!!

Katie had her last day of 3 year old preschool. They sure do end the school year early around here! They don't start until after Labor Day and to end before Memorial Day - yikes! Makes for a very long summer.

So that's it for now... pictures coming soon!

Getting Caught Up

Ryan really likes to "help" me at the computer these days and thus my posts have been VERY infrequent. I'm braving it at the moment, inspired by several dear friends who have returned to their neglected blogs as well.

Katie and Ryan in their new Easter clothes. Katie selected this dress herself, because it was pink and had flowers. This was one of the more simple dresses and also the least expensive. Katie explained that the fancy dresses were "too poofy". That's fine by me! This was a much more practical find!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Sean and Ryan. I came home and found Ryan asleep on his dad's lap.

The final two pictures are from our Saturday outing to Frying Pan Farm. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful! Ryan especially loved telling us what each animal says.

Quick Pics

The kids love Max. He must enjoy them too, he's always coming back for more "loving".

(Yes, Ryan is petting Katie)
Ryan, not a baby anymore. Here he models his hand-me-down Carolina shirt.
I remember when Katie wore this.

It's all about Love! Katie was heading to a Valentine's Party at school.
