Go Phillies!

Brian and I were lucky enough to go to the first game in the NLCS at Citizens Bank Park while Molly and Ian went to see Disney on Ice with Grammom and Aunt Lori.
Thanks Cheryl for the great tickets - it was awesome to see a Phillies win!

Surgery Day

Ian had surgery to have his adenoids removed today. He did a great job - he was very brave!

After:

Sunday afternoon at the zoo.

We spent the afternoon at the zoo with Gran, Grandpa, Kim, and Tom. We were lucky to have an inside connection (thanks Wendy!) and got to see some great animals up close. We got to pet a white rhino and feed the giraffes. We also saw some ostrich training and a demonstration with the hornbills. We had a wonderful time!

These apples are delicious...

We went to Weaver's Orchard today to have lunch, play, and pick some apples. Aunt Lori joined us for hot dogs and french fries and to watch Ian have some fun in the straw. After she left, we went off to the apple trees.

For the animals

Today we participated in the Walk for the Animals at First Energy Stadium. After the walk we ate good food and listened to great music. Thanks to everyone that supported us with your donations!





















And...Molly is 15 months old today!

Happy Birthday, Poppy!

Yesterday was Poppy's birthday and we celebrated with a special lunch today. Aunt Lori, Uncle Jimmy, Grammom, and Poppy all came over and we had a picnic outside. Aunt Lori made a delicious cake and we all sang Happy Birthday.

See ya, summer.

Boehringers Drive In closes tomorrow for the cooler months. It's hard to believe summer is already over. We went for one last taste of ice cream and shared a banana split.

She's off!

First Day!

Ian had his first day of 3 year old preschool today. He had a great time singing songs and dressing up like a fireman, but he didn't like his snack. He was happy to get apple juice to drink!
I got a few pictures just before we left, but it started to pour as I was putting Ian in the car, so it was very dark outside this morning.





And one after we got home with his new book from his teacher.
