Drum role

Megan wore a dress! On Easter I was able to get a dress on my daughter! She didn't even want to take it off.

It's been a long time...

Wow! It's almost May and I haven't posted since January! Okay, time to update.

Things with us have been pretty busy. We purchased a new travel trailer camper in February. Sorry I don't have pictures. We made the mistake of going to the "camping" show again. Next year we are staying home. HA! Megan is SO excited to see the camper all the time when we go to Baldwin. It's beeing stored at my parent's house. Our plan is to take it to the cabin/lake in May and camp for almost all of those weekends in May. We are all pretty excited.

Megan FINALLY had her first haircut! It only took 2 years for her to grow enough to have it cut. Megan was thrilled that Diane was going to cut her hair. She did really good and chewed on a comb the whole time. Since then, we have had another cut.

In March over Dan's 30th birthday...we went to Florida. We hung out with Dan's parents for 3 days. It was a short trip, but it was awesome to get out of frozen MN. Here are a couple pictures of what we did. Megan had her first plane ride. When you ask her about it, she says "plane, see houses". We saw houses from the window. She's still asking to go to Florida again. She loved the pool and the beach. We ended up going when FL was having a cold snap so it was only in the 60's.

Time to go home

Busy Worms

Wow, it's been a long time since I have posted. We have been busy Worms at our house. I don't have pictures to post (like I said it's been busy) so I will try to get that done soon. Let's see, where to begin...

Megan amazes us each and every day. She is learning so much and is putting sentences together. We ran out of "ba's" (freezy pops) at our house a week ago. Every chance she got she would tell us "go buy ba's". We had to go to 2 different stores to find them. It seems like every day we play "Barbies", which is Mr. Potatohead. She gets the playhouse out that David bought her for Christmas and lines all of her cars up in a square and dumps out the "Barbies" for us to play with. She doesn't like it if you touch stuff b/c it's "mine", she would rather you just sit on the floor by her. She is also onto a new movie obsession. I say obsession b/c forever it was cars at our house, now it's the Bee Movie. Dan & I have learned to put it on the portable DVD player at her level and she watches 5 mins of it here and there. I think I restarted the movie twice last night.

Megan had her first haircut last weekend!! She finally had enough hair to cut! Grandneighbor Diane was awesome at making our little peanut look like a little girl. Not that she didn't, the fuzzy hair was driving us a little bananas. Still can't put it in a ponytail or anything, but at least it's now even. I'll get those pictures up soon.

What else have we been busy with...oh, I was able to spend a weekend with my girlfriends from work scrap booking a couple weekends ago. I am finally only 2 years behind. I was able to finish our wedding album last time and this time I got our honeymoon cruise book done. Now onto Megan's birth and I can start a new family book. I don't think I'll ever catch up.

We have a family vacation planned for March 1-4. Only 3 days in Florida. Megan will be joining us this time. I think she's ready (or should I say Dan & I) for the plane. The fact that she can be entertained with a movie might help. Our flights are late evening so maybe by the grace of God she'll sleep. I am so ready to get out of MN. It's been WAY too cold this winter.

Work has been very busy for both Dan and I. We are truly grateful and blessed to have jobs in this awful economic turmoil. Can you tell I've been typing economic commentaries lately?

Please also send a prayer my Dad's way. He's been having more health issues lately.

I'll will try to post some updated pictures soon.
