Update

So...I thought I'd give you an update as I sit here and eat the rest of a bag of chocolate chips. (yikes huh?) It has been a while since my last official "update." (maybe Christmas?)

We had a wonderful Easter. It snowed and was very cold! It was cold last year too. I remember we had to put on an undershirt for Hannah's new dress then as well. This year her Aunt Kara had bought her a cute new green dress, and I was able to find a pretty green sweater at Wal-mart for $6 to match it!! Unfortunately I do not have any pictures of her in it. So, you'll have to wait until the next time she wears it...and pray that I remember to photograph her in it!! It really is a bummer too, b/c I had new clothes on and Dan was dressed up as well. O well.

I think it may have been that we were too concerned about getting to the restaurant afterwards...A whole bunch of us went to lunch afterwards. It is our Easter tradition 3 years running now to eat out with a group of our friends. We have a ton of fun!!

Next week we are going on a mini family vacation!! We are pretty excited. We have never been on a real family vacation. (the kind where you stay at a hotel and DON'T see relatives)!! We have been saving up, and are going to go to the local zoo, and aquarium, and (of course) shop! After we get home, we will start our vacation "jar" over again, b/c next year....Drum roll please....we are going to FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!! Hannah will be 5 then and she is SO excited to go to the Disney Castle. Plus we have several sets of friends who live there or are from there, so it is going to be a lot of fun.

My sister is coming to visit in 19 days.
And my next Dr apt is Tuesday. I am 27 weeks this week, so 13 to go!!

Dan just finished a huge paper. He has 2 or 3 more, I can't remember. We went out to eat last night to celebrate. We had a gift card to Out Back. It was really good. Hannah didn't like the "bloom'n onion" though. But she did eat ALL of the bread they brought!! (with a crazy amt of butter too). Then we went to Baby's-R-Us and were able to get our $10 gift card for registering there. They were out when I went to register a few weeks ago...Then I went to bible study (and had the most amazing fruit pizza). Hannah was put to bed early for bad behavior!! Which actually had started as I was leaving. Lucky me, poor Dan!

Calvin is doing great. He is getting pretty big. I'll try to get a new picture of myself to post soon. We were thinking about having a pre-Calvin family picture taken...but I'm not sure if I want to spend the money. I may find a friend to do it.

Hope you are all doing well. I think that just about covers all the Diffey Highlights from the past few weeks/months. Of course I blog everyday about the little stuff...so you already know about that. This was just some pretty random thoughts about our life here.

have a great day!!
