Stocking Up

People in Philadelphia are going nuts over Hurricane Irene!  Alex and I went for our biweekly groceries this weekend and walked into a grocery store almost completely out of food!  Apparently the last hurricane to hit Philadelphia was in 1999 and people have forgotten that category 1 hurricanes do not mean the end of life as we know it (unless of course you live by the beach or a body of water prone to flooding or live in a home surrounded by trees that want to fall on your house)!  So we stocked up on the only thing we could, cookie ingredients :)  We made monster cookies today for this "monster" storm!  We are all stocked up now!!

Summer Days

Alex and I went to visit Aunt Pat and Uncle Dennis this weekend in New Jersey.  They have a beautiful pool in their backyard that we were able to go swimming in today.  I had not been swimming all summer so it was nice to finally be able to dunk my head under the water!  Little Den is starting grad school in New York this coming week so we were able to see him one last time before he starts.  We also got to see little Lucy who is as energetic as ever and probably chased four hundred tennis balls today :)

      

We were mean and threw Lucy's ball into the pool!

  

Such a good little swimmer!

 

Starting to study for peds... although I only read seven pages in three hours, bleh.

   

Very tired from all of the tennis ball chasing :)

New Wheels

Alex got a bicycle for his birthday!!  He has been wanting a new bike for as long as I can remember and now he finally has a new way to get around town.  The bike is red, black, and white... sound like a wolfpack fan?  The bike is a single speed and weights hardly anything so the only problem now is finding a space for it in our tiny apartment :)

       

With the new wheels!

  

Biking to the music store!
