It has been forever since I've blogged! It feels like life just ran away with me. Here's a little update on what's been going...
I turned 30! It was a lot less traumatizing than I thought it would be. I think my 30's are going to be great. We will finally be done with school, have a house, and be able to take that vacation we've been planning for the last however many years.
We celebrated Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania with our families and Cala got to spend time with her cousins who were visiting from Arizona.
I got a really tall Christmas tree, but when we got it home I discovered that an even taller one could have fit :( Where Christmas trees are concerned I say "the bigger, the better". It was still pretty great though.
My good friend Cindy moved to Indiana. We are still missing her!
We resurrected our long lost family tradition of decorating graham cracker houses at Christmastime. So fun!
Ethan became mobile! He can army crawl and it's super cute to watch but now he gets into EVERYTHING!
We celebrated Christmas with our families.
Cala, Mark, and I went to Candylane at Hershey Park. I thought it would be a great night for it, not too cold and all that, until we stood in line for 30 minutes to ride the Scrambler. Brrr!
We celebrated New Year's!
Cala and Ethan watch cartoons together.
Ethan started eating solid foods!
My parents came to visit for the weekend.
Mark and Cala had their first Daddy/Daughter date to the french fry place (McDonald's).
Cala got to make cupcakes with pink frosting, as requested, after days of begging.
We took the kids sledding in the 25,000 feet of snow we have gotten so far this winter. Don't be fooled, they look happy in this picture only because we had just gotten outside. By the end they were both crying and I was pretty sure I was the worst mom in the entire world.
I made this cute pillow for Cala's bed. She calls it her "special pillow".
Cala got a much-needed hair cut. Note to self: Next time, pay to have someone else do it.
Mark finally got an iPhone. To say that he's excited would be a massive understatement. If only I had a video of the dance he did when it came in the mail :)
And Ethan just keeps getting cuter!

How fun!! You guys are so cute. Good job on the hair cut- I've messed up Collin's hair so much that Chase won't let me cut the boys hair anymore :) Oh well. Ps, I laughed about the part with the pink cupcakes- Collin has been begging me to make pink cupcakes. I have no idea why. Must just be the age!
Congrats on turning 30!! And what a cute pillow you made for Cala. I love it!
