I have failed miserably at keeping this blog up to date. I know it's been at least 4 weeks since I last posted. I kept thinking, must write about Delia's first birthday, but then it came and went and I just got caught up in the busyness of life. Let's see if I can just give a brief catch up with some the highlights.
1. Delia is one! We had a great celebration with family on the day of her birthday since it fell on a Sunday. I had a Minnie Mouse themed party for her. She loved her cake, was spoiled rotten by everyone and overall, had as much fun as a one year old can, I think. No tears were shed by mom, but it did cause me to remember in vivid detail the moments surrounding her birth. I can't believe how quickly the year went and that she is getting so big.
2. Valentine's Day. It's never a big deal for Seth and I. This year we made a delicious steak dinner at home. We exchanged cards and small gifts (flowers for me and a Phillies freezer mug and new coasters for him).
3. My birthday. I am now 28....sounds old in my head. My birthday fell on a Saturday so we spent the day together as a family. We had to make a trip to super Walmart so on the way we drove around Lancaster county looking for snow geese. I also admired the farms and homes that I someday would like to own. Just a dream... That night my inlaws watched Delia so Seth and I could have a date night. We went to Red Lobster, always my restaurant of choice for a birthday meal. It was delicious and very much enjoyed. Oh, and Seth bought me the Kindle Touch which I was so excited about!
4. I finished The Hunger Games series. Some of you may be wondering why this deserves a highlight and I assume it is those of you who haven't read the books. Seriously, READ THEM. They are fantastic. I can't wait to see the first movie later this month.
5. Babysitting. While I'm not working outside the home, I've been doing a little bit of babysitting. On Thursdays I watch my two nephews for a few hours and on Fridays I watch my friend's little girl. Her and Delia are only 6 weeks apart in age so they have fun together.
And honestly, that's all I can think of right now. We've had some really nice weather in the past few weeks so I will try to get out for a walk if that's the case. It makes me ready for Spring though. We haven't had much snow at all this past Winter, but I'm ready for some steadily warmer temperatures. Hopefully they are in the not so distant future!
