Let it snow!



This past weekend we got over a foot of snow in Lancaster! Saturday we spent the day inside getting things done around the house. We got excited to take Owen out to experience the snow for the first time. The only thing is that our son hates to get dressed. Any time we go to change his clothes he gets very upset. You get his shirt anywhere near his head and he throws a mini tantrum. We are not sure why he does this. He is very dramatic and can put on a good show. Sometimes it is comical. I wonder where he gets this from? :) Needless to say, he did not enjoy getting his snow pants and jacket on. He became slightly happier when we got outside but still did not love it. It was still a fun experience. We at least managed to get a few pictures.

Thanksgiving in NJ

We had an outstanding Thanksgiving in New Jersey with my family. Everyone made it home, even Tanner after a surprise trip up from Newport News on Friday morning, and Aunt Terri and Aunt Mary Carol flew in from Chicago, too. Highlights were...
... an amazingly delicious turkey feast cooked by mom
... continuing to watch Owen and his cousin, K, grow up together. They constantly kept us entertained with K doing most of the moving and Owen doing most of the talking!
...seeing my sister Beth for the first time since finding out that she's pregnant! She's about 19 weeks along, but you'd never know it just by looking at her.
....throwing Beth a baby shower (girls only).
...playing A LOT of Band Hero (any suggestions for unlocking Taylor Swift should be directed to Kathryn).
...bowling with all the "kids."
...playing A LOT of late-night nerts.
