HTML check.....
SO some have said that viewing my blog was a pain. Because of the html code coming up. It seems I have a brain and I was able to figure it out on my own! So let me know if it's better...for those of you that have experienced troubles.
I find out next week on the 6th of May what kind of baby we will be having! Stay tuned for that one!

Pink House
While at my parents' house in Genesee, PA, we have to travel in to Wellsville, NY, for church. In the Village of Wellsville is a large PINK house. It's amazing. I told my girls about it and they were so excited to see the place. Here's Blake being as girly as a girl can be in front of the pink house!
And I think that this one is funny.

Our Trip!
What a long awaited trip! The girls and I hopped a plane so excited to see Dan. The girls were great on the plane, so that was helpful. I packed a few "presents" that they unwrapped to keep occupied.
I also had the little DVD player and a bunch of movies to choose from. We landed in Chicago with a 2 hour lay-over, not a problem when you're at Chicago O'Hare...fantastic bathroom exploration! For those of you who haven't been the bathrooms are a must see. The plastic toilet seat covers are dispensed when you wave your hand. And the ice-cream helped to pass the time, too. We must have taken a ride on the moving walk ways a dozen times.
The girls got special treatment when we got to the grandparents' house. Grandma took us to Chuck E. Cheese's and had a blast. Not a place we ever go. Too chaotic usually but it was such a nice afternoon. The girls loved the most random rides and games. Here they are on a "Chose your roller-coaster" type ride. It shook like crazy.
The treatment continued the next day when Grandma took us to Build-a-Bear. They chose the cutest creatures.
They had these cute little sleeping bags!
FINALLY....we got to see Dan!!!! We colored eggs,played with play-dough,
Hunted for Easter Eggs and Easter Baskets,
Went for ice-cream (changed the girls' mouths crazy colors),
And visited the park,
And that was just Michigan. Then we took off to my parents' place in PA. On the way we stopped in Kirtland, Oh. I thought it would be awesome to stop and see some of the places that Joseph Smith walked and so many wonderful people from church history. The girls were so unhappy and I was only able to snap a couple of shots. Here they are in front of Newel K. Whitney's home.
They cried in Kirtland, Oh, to get back in the car and get to my parent's house. We finally got there around 9pm to get a great surprise. A Mini-John Deer-Gator. The fel in love with it instantly and took it for a spin even though it was only 39 degrees out!
The next day the weather was super nice, considering being in PA during April. The girls made friends with some kids that my Aunt next door watches. They all took turns playing on the Gator, and loved being outdoors and hanging out on the swing set.
Mid-day Reese started to fall asleep on both the Gator and the swing-set. She'd be driving and her eyes would be closed. And on the swings it was so easy to fall asleep. We'd get her up and moving and check out the cows, horses, chickens, geese, bunnies...anything to keep her awake! She wanted to be on this little swing for so long, here's my dad on a lawn chair sitting down pushing her.
Our plan is to be in PA a few more days, then head back to MI. Then I get to leave for a night to see Dan again perform with his band AND some awesome bands that we love: Secondhand Serenade and Red Jumpsuit Aparatus. WOW!!! I am so excited for the band to get the exposure they deserve! And get to see Dan again for a minute before the girls and I head back home on the 25th! What a great trip this has been and there is still more to come!
Hope you enjoyed the pictures and update!

7 Long Weeks!
Well, it had been seven long weeks since seeing my dear sweet husband! Such a long time. And at times very difficult. The girls and I flew out to Detroit on the 7th and we've been here since! Dan's family lives in Michigan and the band has had a few days off. We have been enjoying every minute with our dad/husband!
The in-laws and I went to one of his shows on Friday, our first time seeing each other since mid February. And it was such a surprise to see his face minus the beard/goatee/mustache. A clean shaved face is the face of love! I mentioned it to him before we arrived and he is so sweet to have been keeping it nice and smooth while we're together! I love my husband!
We've been out to eat, to the movies, had family dinners, and just hung around watching movies. It's been perfect. I'm trying not to think about not seeing him again until June. Frown.
But the band is having success on the road and Dan's personal contacts have increased which will be very helpful for his career!
