Happy Birthday Kirsten

Ahh . . . French Silk Pie from Baker's Square. Even better with sprinkles. Yummy! (Are you sure she's pregnant and due in two weeks?)

Red Lion Railroaders

For Family Night we took Brooklyn to a train display sponsored by volunteers in a nearby town. A few weeks ago we took her to see the holiday lights at Rocky Ridge and her favorite part was watching the trains -- especially Thomas the Tank Engine. Santa got her a small Lego Thomas for Christmas which she took with her to tonight's display . . .

"Choo Choo" and "All aboard" are now uttered frequently in our home.

"When's Santa Coming Back?"

Someone misses Santa already.

Good thing we had snow to play in . . .

Merry Christmas 2010

July 4th

Brooklyn was excited all week to see the fireworks. As you can see, she loved the military band music, but got a little scared when the cannons and loud fireworks went off.

Elmo!

Daddy knows how much I love "Elbo." So, when he learned that the little furry red monster from Sesame Street would be coming to York's Market Street, he made sure I didn't miss out. Daddy left work a few minutes early, picked me up at daycare and said he had an Elmo surprise for me. "Elbo! . . . Elbo!" I yelled repeatedly from my car seat during what to Dad seemed like a long drive. (Hey - what can I say, I'm not even two. I get excited.) Was it worth it?

You bet! (Thanks, PNC Bank).

While at the street festival, I visited York Symphony's musical "petting zoo." I'm quite the drummer.

On the way home, Daddy and I shared a hot dog and lemonade on a downtown park bench before stopping at the library to see the fish.

First Time Sledding

Tonight for family night, we took Brooklyn sledding on the hill behind our place. The snow was perfect. She loved it, of course, and at the end of the runs down the hill would say "more" or turn toward the camera and say, "cheese."

Little Girl

Sometimes it seems like our little baby has skipped the "early toddler" phase and moved right on to "little girl." Here she is coming out of hiding with a "treat" - another recent new word.

Snowed in (again)

It is a white Valentine's week here in York. These photos are from the storm last weekend. (Yes, there is a camry under that snow drift).

Add to those snow piles at least and additional 12" that fell last night and this morning. Oh, and its still snowing. Kyle is off work because of a snow emergency and B's day care is closed so they're enjoying another day together, though B still isn't feeling well. Kirsten however was not so lucky. She left for Harrisburg at 6am this morning in the middle of the storm for another 30-hour shift. Luckily she made it there safely (thanks, Toyota and the PennDOT snow plowers).
