we're back...

After a bout with a stomach bug last week, I'm feeling back to normal. We've had a busy past few days around here. This weekend we headed to Lancaster with the family to visit Thomas. The boys had a blast - they got to ride right behind Thomas and get their picture with him and, of course, get some new Thomas toys. :)

The crowds were insane - I had no idea there were many Thomas fans out there! Max and I are thinking of taking the boys back in the spring on a non-Thomas day so the boys can see all that the railroad offers.

On Sunday, we did a little shopping at the Point Park Mall. I thought Andrew was so cute "driving" the stroller, so I had to share this picture. :)

We visited "Build-A-Bear" and all three boys got some animals (a bear for Will, a koala for Christian, and a puppy for Andrew). I'd post a picture, but the koala has gone missing. Once he's found, I'll post a pic of all three boys with their new friends.

When we got home from our trip, there was a package on our porch. When the boys saw that there were presents inside, they went to work on the wrapping paper! What a happy surprise for them - two Dr Seuss books from Aunt Ceil and Uncle Tony! Thank you so much!!!

We found this great unit for the boys' room. It's called "cubeicals" by Closetmaid, and it's so cute. You buy the canvas drawers separate (under $6 a piece) and they have a whole range of colors. Will and Christian helped put the piece together, and I have to admit, it turned out pretty cute!

I need to get dinner going so I'll sign off for now.
