A few firsts

So last week, it decided to snow!!! This picture is of our backyard, a few hours after it started to melt, but we had a pretty good dusting! It was funny though, because the schools were out a few weeks ago due to a "virtual" snow day- they were calling for 2-4 inches and everyone got scared so they called off school. Nothing... SO on the make up day it actually snowed!

Our first real snow



Me and the boys decided to go out tonight for a little bit of ice cream on the boardwalk. It was a warm 69 degrees today, but didn't feel too warm in the wind at night, but Drew did enjoy himself! He wanted to go swimming!!!


Drew, Daddy and Caleb taking a walk to the water.
Caleb's first trip to the beach!!!

Drew liked playing on the hills of sand on the beach (this is where they had all of the Christmas lights- on top of the hills)


This was Drew's first ice cream cone! He's not real big into ice cream, more of a cookie and cake kinda guy (he takes after me :) The man working at Dairy Queen gave the cone to him!

Chadwick update

It has been a while since our last post, hopefully this will make up for some lost time!!! We experienced our first road trip with two young ones last weekend and what a long drive home. A trip that once took us 7 1/2 hours took over 9 this time.

I got another long term sub position in 2nd grade at a school about 30-45 minutes from here so that's exciting! Caleb will go to daycare with Drew :( I'm not real sure I'm ready for that but I know he's in good hands.

Caleb was diagnosed with reflux (big surprise) and is now on meds like Drew was when he was a baby.

Enjoy our pictures!
Drew playing with his umbrella inside.... I don't think he knows that it's bad luck!


Caleb catching some zzzzz's on the couch... during the day of course. He doesn't like to sleep much at night yet. We are praying that he will very soon!

This was at Sarah's 27th birthday last weekend. Look at all the babies! And to think, there are two more on the way! (Not us....)


Our church held an "Enchanted Evening" for Valentine's Day. It was so much fun. The youth were our servers for the 7 course meal. It was wonderful! They turned the fellowship hall into a beautiful restaurant atmosphere. After the meal was done, we had some dancing! This is a shot of the youth doing the YMCA.

This is a picture of Matthew from the dance doing... I don't know what... :)


My parents enjoying the evening.


Aren't we cute? J/K.... We were excited to have a night to ourselves!



Me and Matthew, Mike and Alisha at the end of the evening.


Me and Matthew, Lori and Tim some more of our friends from church.


Hopefully, it won't be so long before our next post, but no promises with me starting a full time job this week!
