Home safely

Someone is VERY hungry after a long travel day.

Happy to be home, but hope to be heading back to VT in two days after Irene is a big non-event.

Stay safe, all!

Aug. 26 - Something wicked this way (maybe) comes

Eerily gorgeous this morning in VT, but given the isolation and weather forecast back home we reluctantly piled into the car to trek back to Phila.

Aug. 24 - Woodstock, VT

First whole apple during a family picnic on the Woodstock town green. Heaven...

We make fire

Hot dogs and s'mores in T minus 1 hour!

A beautiful day in Vermont

Looks like a postcard, no?

Cabin...Sweet...Cabin

Ahhhhhhhhhh.

Lucky 13 (Months)

Celebrated with our big girl at the zoo.

Hard to tell what M liked better - the monkeys or hanging out with Daddy!

Someone made her first trip to NYC

And even with downpours and deluges, she LOVED it!

Of course, she got to have brunch at a trendy SoHo eatery and then got to play on the "Big" piano at FAO Schwarz...heaven!

Before and Afters...Kitchen Edition

Before (Settlement Day - these photos don't do it justice. Let's just say that we ripped everything out IMMEDIATELY because that was a far better option than cleaning/touching anything!):





Before (Our "Kitchen" for Year One! Check out the sink (now our laundry tub in the basement). Swanky & gourmet, no???):



During (Demolition & Architectural Restructuring):
Main/original kitchen


Butler's pantry



After (finished July 2011 - finally!):
