Disney on Ice

March 3, 2012

We all had a fun family date night.  Robert got us all tickets to go see Disney on Ice.  Megan got dressed up in her princess dress and she was so excited, even though she had no idea what to expect.  Robert and I were both so excited to see Megan's face when the show started.  We had excellent seats, right up by the ice.  Megan, of course, scored a new fancy crown and wand to have during the show.  The show was about the stories of Tianna (Princess and the Frog), Repunzel, and Cinderella.  Megan is obsessed with Cinderella and Repunzel right now.  Megan was, as always, a perfect angel throughout the show even though it got late in the evening, way past her bedtime.  However, she did start to cry when the show was over, because she really thought that she would get to go skate on the ice with the princesses.

February and March 2012

We are all moved in to our new house.  The kitchen and bedrooms were unpacked fairly quickly, but the basement and garage are still a disaster zone.  Oh well, we will get there someday.  So, Robert is super busy with work, but loving his job.  Megan and I are having some wonderful mommy/daughter time.  The last couple months seemed so busy with work, getting ready to move, and trying to still fit in as many playdates as possible.  So, it is actually a nice break to have pajama days with lots of cuddles and crafts and baking and just playing.  I have Megan enrolled in a dance class and we have met our first friends out here in Minnesota (Inga and her mom Jocelyn.)  Other than that, we have been trying to stay warm.  Although, I can't complain as this has been one of Minnesota's mildest winters on record.  Everyday I hear that temps are a good 20 degrees above average.  Maybe that is just God's way of helping me not hate it here.
