The Fire Station

Our neighbor is a volunteer fire fighter for our local fire station, so I thought it would be fun to get a tour for our play group. We had a great turn out and the kids loved being able to get in the fire trucks.




Allie was so shy that she wanted me to hold her the entire time. So she didn't participate much.

Sadie in the fire truck.


Sadie in the Ambulance.

Our neighbor, John, all dressed up in his gear.

Two VERY sassy girls.


For the finale they let each kid turn on and off the water

Belly Picture

So this is the one and only belly picture I have ever taken during all three pregnancies.

My Birthday

Todd was nice enough to take most of the day off of school so we had ice cream cake and then went out to Lancaster county and drove around all the back roads looking for some Amish furniture. We are really in need of a bookshelf. After stopping at 10 different places we finally found a nice Amish man with exactly what we wanted. Since we bought it unfinished we will post pictures later of the before and after. Then we completed the night with my birthday meal at the Shady Maple.

White Coat Ceremony

Yesterday afternoon the school held a White Coat Ceremony for Todd's class. They now have the title of student doctor and can now work on real patients! They had a nice program and then a reception afterwards. Then a group of us went out for our 2nd annual end of the year dinner.




Can I count this as a belly picture?? (Insert evil laugh here)



Allie's special do for the occasion

The Beach

Two weeks ago we were having such great weather and we realized that Todd's classes had been cancelled so we all decided to go to Atlantic City on a Monday and play on the beach. Unfortunately warm weather doesn't mean warm water! It was freezing! But that didn't stop Allie from barreling in.

Bike Riding

So Santa gave Sadie this bike for Christmas and the first time she could ride is was a couple of weeks ago. Here she is making Todd go up and down the hill pushing her.
