Day trip to South Philly

OK, so 4 years here in Philly and we've never been to the South side. So, since Owen has had a little time on his hands, we thought we'd go for it. I wasn't too impressed with The Italian Market, but I did enjoy the leisurely stroll through some of the historical sites. Here is a picture of the tiny clapboard houses that were built by a shipwright and are the last of their kind. Let's just say that Audrey hates walking. She get's tired very quickly and usually spends more time complaining than enjoying.

Summer's Here!

So I guess it's not technically "summer" yet, but we're sure loving the weather! We bought the kids a little pool, and splurged with the one with a slide. They have been in it practically everyday, so I guess we got our 20 bucks out of it. Here is Drew, and the girls with their neighbor friend Sasha.

Maggie and Audrey all gussied up!

Maggie and Audrey worked very hard all year long with their ballet and tap class. We loved the studio they went to, and it was a huge sacrafice for the 30 minute commute twice a week. The recital was themed on colors and Maggie danced to "color my world", and Audrey danced to "Put a little color on you." They both did a great job! We're very proud of you! But I think Maggie would like to try gymnastics next year!

Audrey did it!

Audrey just finished her first year of Preschool. She had a wonderful year with so many fun experiences! She will be bummed that it is over, and next year, maybe we'll do 3 days a week since she loves it so much. Here she is with some of her good buddies from preschool at her graduation. Emma, Audrey, Sally and Lydian.

Audrey at grauation with her diploma and grad cap. She thought it was pretty cool that she graduated just like her Dad.

Owen in the Grad crowd!

Friends!

. I met Michelle Bruderer 4 years ago at Summit Garden apartments for a pool party to start the new year off. I had a 2 year old and a 5 week old baby, and she was expecting her first baby. Now my 5 week old (Audrey) and her expected baby (Sally) are almost 4 years old and have become good buddies as Michelle and I have. It's hard to believe how fast the time has gone by, and it will be sad not to see Michelle anymore. Here we are at graduation cheering our husbands on! Good job Owen and Steve! --also pictured are Adri and Drew.

Dental School Graduation!

May 2007 is finally here! Today Owen graduated from Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry! It was such an exciting and emotional day! We are so proud of Owen for his great accomplishments! Congrats!
