No, this isn’t a mistake. I know, I haven’t posted anything in over a year and a half. I really want to start up the blog again, for several reasons. For one, since I am “that mom” who wrote about 3 things in David’s baby book and never even bought one for Connor, it helps me remember who was doing what when. And, since we have a lot of friends and family scattered across the country, it helps them stay updated on what is going on in our lives.
So here’s what’s happened since you last heard from me: Dave and I went to Grand Cayman on vacation to celebrate our 5th anniversary; I started a business; David turned 4; we took the boys to Hershey Park; we went to DC and visited the Natural History Museum; my friend Holly came to visit with her daughter and son; we went on our yearly vacation to Ocean City, NJ; we put in a patio in our back yard; I got a part-time job at Penn State as an editor in the Outreach and Marketing department; Connor turned 2; David started in the Fabulous Fours class at preschool and Connor started in the Tiny Tots class; we went to several PSU games; Connor dressed up as JoePa and David dressed up as a bat for Halloween; David went on field trips to the fire station and Wasson Farm; we went to my parents’ house for Thanksgiving; the boys and I made a gingerbread house; we went to Lakemont Park to see the Christmas lights; we saw Santa come through our neighborhood on a fire truck; David got a phone call from Santa; we had an amazing Christmas and New Year’s; Dave and I went on a cruise to Mexico; we celebrated Grampy’s 70th birthday; we had a great Easter; we went to see the ducks at the alumni gardens approximately 987 times; I had a fantastic Mother’s Day and David turned 5 (on the same day!); Dave and I went to Charleston, SC for a long weekend; David graduated from Stay & Play; the boys and I picked strawberries at Way Fruit Farm; I found out I’m pregnant again and due in March; the boys and I went to DelGrosso’s Amusement Park; the family went to Philly on our way to our yearly vacation to Ocean City, NJ; David started kindergarten (!!!); Connor started in the Terrific Twos class; Connor turned 3; we went to several more PSU games; Connor dressed up as Buddy from Dinosaur Train and David dressed up as Troy Polamalu (with no long hair, sadly) for Halloween; we found out we’re having a 3rd boy (!!!!!); and we celebrated a great Thanksgiving. Other than that, nothing much is going on.
So, now that you’re caught up on our lives, hopefully I’ll be able to get back on track with this. I’m not going to make any promises here, other than to say I’m going to try really hard to keep up. We’ll see what happens.
