One the Way to Disney: First Stop Savannah!

Last week we went to Disney! The first leg of the trip got us to Savannah where we stayed overnight. It was my first time there so I figured we had to do something southern, so we ate at Paula Deans restaurant! It was nice to have to short days of driving instead of one long one. Kenzie didn't sleep at all in Savannah so we weren't well rested but at least we weren't burnt out of being in the car! 

Audrey's Class Valentine's Day

I was able to go into Audrey's class to help with their Valentine's Day Celebration. They had fun crafting stations set up around the classroom. I was in charge of hand print hearts. The kids seemed to really enjoy themselves as did the parents who were able to come in and help. I love seeing what is going on in the classroom!  

Together Baby

Kenzie is one of those kids that always wants everyone with her. Her brother and sister, her mom and her dad, she wants us all the time. In a great way but it does make it hard to leave the house. When dad gets home she immediately makes him take off his coat so that she knows he is staying. This is a picture of her waiting at the window for dad to come home after work.

David's Visit at Work

The truth is it's hard to keep up with everything with so much always on my to-do list especially now that I am working. So I don't write here enough. But today my brother came to visit me at work! It was great to show him around- he hadn't been on campus for probably 10 years. It was a good excuse to walk around campus and see people who don't just work in my office!

Day Two of Snow

We have had such a good time with the snow the last two days! Today the weather was a lot better, instead of ice pellets we had real snow. The whole neighborhood came out for sledding and snowballs. 

Snow Day!

It's a snow day! Okay it's more of a "icy rain grossness" day but it does mean that we didn't have to leave the house today. Well Don left the house to buy a video game from Best Buy and pick up Chinese food but the rest of us got to alternate between PJs and Snow pants all day! Kenzie stayed inside because... well it's pretty miserable out there but the other two kids went sledding with the neighbors for a long time.

My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday! It was nice and relaxing and just what I needed. I usually don't love my birthday but this year Don and I both took off work and hung out, we went out to breakfast in Raleigh, I got my haircut and we put together a dresser for Kenzie. I know it sounds crazy to put together furntiure on your birthday but it was fun putting it together with him and it always feels good to accomplish things from our to-do list. Tonight is dinner with the family. 

Birthday Party Zip Line

We went to our neighbors birthday party last weekend. The kids had so much fun, how cool is it that our neighbors have a zip line in their backyard? Happy Birthday Cedar! 

One on One Time

Last weekend I was able to take both the older kids out for a little one on one time. Audrey got to go out for manicures. Ryan decided to go out for hot chocolate and board games. They both had a good time and it was nice to be able to talk to them and hang out without distractions. 

Kenzie's New School Schedule

Kenzie has started "full day" school 4 days a week. I pick her up at 2:45pm so she stays through lunch and nap. So far it has been successful though after her first week she is now sick. Hopefully she kicks it before next week!
