It's been a busy time since the holidays! Between colds we spent a wonderful Christmas in North Carolina (and forgot our camera) where we caught up with Ben's very grown-up cousins, Aunt Donna and Uncle Chuck, and Granny & PopPop. We were ushered home by a huge storm. While we were on the Chesapeake Bridge Tunnel it felt like we were out on the high seas!
Since then we have taken a trip out to Arizona to celebrate Grampa's 74th birthday (he used to work with tanks, hence the cake) and Ben's 4th birthday!! We had lots of fun playing in the backyard, enjoying the warm sunshine, playing peekaboo, and catching up with Gramma and Grampa, Aunt Kate and Uncle Cliff in person.
We also met Aunt Kate's new dog. She is very sweet and the kids loved her. During the flight home Ben asked if the truck that pushes the plane back from the gate was still attached.
When we got back to Phila we spent quite a while looking for our car in the vastness of Economy Parking. It finally dawned on us to push the car alarm button on our keychain and after a while it answered. Of course the subtext of this is that Mike thought it was in one area and I thought it was in another(1).
On Monday we celebrated Ben's birthday at home. Wow the big #4! Ellie enjoyed herself, too.
More soon.... really!!!

Happy birthday, Ben! I can't believe you're 4 and we haven't even met you yet! Hopefully this summer....
