Summer is here...

...we know this because our garden has started producing tomatoes!

...and because the wedding season has started (congrats S & S!) 

Next up...vacation!!

Happy Father's Day

We broke away from our gardening tradition, but had tons of fun downtown celebrating Daddy!

First, we started with breakfast at Down Home Diner at Reading Terminal Market

Then we played mini golf at Franklin Square

Next, Franklin Square was actually hosting a kids tumbling class. As you can see from the pics, M was so shy & timid. ;-)

We rounded out our Franklin Square experience with a spin on the carousel. 

We ended the day with a stroll down Elfreth's Alley and ice cream at Franklin Fountain. 

Someone loves her (wonderful) Daddy!

Happy Father's Day to All,

K, J, M, T & T 

Lots o' Happenings...

It's been a few weeks, so here are some fun updates. First, we had a fun and festive Memorial Day weekend, where M tried her hand at mini golf for the first time (a BIG fan!). She loved it and K had TWO holes in one, but M was the only witness...

There was lots of eating and ice cream, too!

Then, "real life" intervened and K had some moles removed (so far, all clear). 

M has started really getting into the cooking - she is a sous chef extraordinaire! 

Then, we had the last day of school at GFS (June 12, 2014). M got flowers for being such a great student and so excited about school. (Note the yellow flowers - her favorite!)

And then T was 11! Happy birthday to our first baby. 

Lots of love to all,

K, J, M, T & T

Many Years in the Making...

...but looks like everyone LOVES the new fence!

Lansdale Park Day with GrandMomMom

M had tons of fun and was worn out at the end of the day...we hope to have half the energy of GrandMomMom (who didn't sit for more than 10 mins out of 3+ hours!) when we are 90...heck, even now!!

Xxo,

K, J, M, T & T

Mother's Day - Amendment 1

My wonderful husband went to tuck in M 15 minutes ago..."tuckered" is more like it!

They are both gently snoring away. Maybe I should've stopped at 4 hours of family gardening?!?

Happy Mother's Day!

Our tradition continues...

First, we had a great family breakfast at the Trolley Car Diner, then went on a garden, flower, plant and vegetable shopping adventure and followed up our morning with 7+ hours of manual labor in the gorgeous sunshine.

After a low key dinner (made sure to have enough yummy leftovers so no one would have to cook!), it's time for a Lillet and an episode of House of Cards - simple pleasures!

Thank you to my amazing husband for making this day so wonderful and for (literally!!!) moving one ton of black mulch today. Love you, J!

Love to all the amazing mothers in our lives, too...

Xxo,

K, J, M, T & T

Beach Day!!!

Back to the Beach

Flight safety is still a priority for M. 

She did great on the plane, but traveling is tough work!

The New Friday Night

...yep, it's now about family potluck and play dates. M is in heaven. :-)

Hoppy Easter!

Thanks to all for a festive and fun-filled holiday. M had a ball!

Spring is here!

So is M's full-on girly phase apparently. Wish us luck!!!

But, she is willing to get that beautiful mani/pedi dirty in the garden. :-)

Spring Fun

We've been celebrating the end of M's spring break and the warmer weather with fun times...

Exhibit A - play date with M. We made chocolate dipped chickie cookies!

Then, we went exploring and saw some of spring's first blooms!

Finally, M went to a class mate's birthday party and donned ice skates for the first time. We even made it around the rink a few times!

Loving the springtime fun...

K, J, M, T & T
