February

Ben was invited to a ice hockey game by his good friend, Colin & the boys had a great night. I guess it was a little more violent than I remembered; Ben kept asking why they were cheating with all the pushing/shoving that was going on. One of the highlights of the night was watching them dance to "YMCA", love that they're still not too cool to bust a move! Colin's sister, Zoe, and Sophie had a sleepover the same night - Rod reported that a dance party went on at home, too.

My awesome husband installed all of the insulation in the sunroom one weekend, I was so impressed at how he spent his "day off" on President's Day. The man can't stop working!

Valentine's Day

We had a pajama night for Valentine's Day & watched a movie, it was cold & a good night to snuggle in.

Catching up - NOLA Zoo trip

I warned y'all that it would be all out of order! We made a trip to the Audobon Zoo in January & had a lot of fun seeing all the animals. As you can see, our kids ran into some problems with an alligator, I think Rod posed those shots! It was a fun whirlwind trip, we just went there & then met some family for dinner which was really nice. We love our little city but still having big places like New Orleans and Mobile in close driving distance, it makes for good variety.

Two years... but who's counting?

Ok - so it's been a while! But I gave up facebook for Lent (and am contemplating giving it up for good) and am trying to cross things off my long to-do list. We got back from Disney on Wednesday and it was a great trip, we had so much fun running from one ride to the next trying to fit all of our favorites in. The kids were so excited to get to the Magic Kingdom, but also really enjoyed Epcot, which is our favorite. Sophie loved the princess breakfast and wore her special Jasmine costume that a very sweet friend let us borrow, while Ben pretended he was somewhere far, far away. Tower of Terror & Rock-n-Rollercoaster at Hollywood Studios were more his speed. As you can see below, he has really outgrown the characters & definitely wasn't feeling the Donald shot! Daddy enjoyed the beer in the "UK", and I think my favorite part was our tradition of everyone trying on the hats in all the different "countries" in Epcot... we looked goofy, I'm sure, but had a lot of fun.

So that's our most recent adventure; if I get inspired I'll put some older stuff up here to close the gap a little bit. Glad to be back to this blogging thing!
