Christmas w/ the Philly Phanatic

Despite my blood bleeding Yankee pinstripes, I have developed quite an appreciation for the Phanatic living in Philly for around 7 years or so... C1, C2 and I went down to South Philly today (Mom was working) to meet Phanta Claus... Campbell was less than interested, but Carter loved it!

Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade

For the 2nd year in a row, we made our way down to Center City Philadelphia for the Thanksgiving Day Parade.    Carter bumped into his friend Danielle ...

Belated -- Pumpkin & Apple Picking

Better late than never, right?


We took our annual pilgrimage to Frecon Farms for apples and Milky Way Farm for pumpkins -- and had a great time as always.


Campbell enjoyed munching on some apples ...

Where is the time going // Taking a break to soak it in

How is it that Campbell is already 11 months old!    Wanted to share a few recent snapshots -- from Halloween, Campbell's official 11-month shot, and a few others.



Some funny things of late:

*Carter still insists on 'fixing' the GPS whenever we turn the car off and it says "Battery Power Low" -- without fail -- just to ensure he can randomly find the music pre-loaded on the GPS device
*Campbell getting her sea legs -- and still finding everything that her big brother does hysterical
*Carter's "high-pitched" excited voice reaching new levels of sound about Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even random things like seeing that they were sampling brie at Wegman's
*Campbell, when she's getting tired, has this tendency to literally throw her head into my chest --- I guess it's relaxing for her
*Carter wanting to sit in what I'll naively call one of the "perm chairs" at the hair salon -- "Just to fix my hair up, Dad."
*Carter consistently using the word "ginormous" -- funny every time
*The first step of our stairs being taken over by dragons -- meaning we have to step over it each and every time we go up/down the stairs


Happy Thanksgiving to all!

The Great Fall Road Trip

We embarked on a great family road trip about two weeks ago -- we've got two kids who are great in the car -- and so we were off on an adventure.


From Home to visit Uncle Brad in Columbus Ohio to Detroit to Toronto to Niagara Falls and back Home -- we covered more than 1500 miles, but had a fantastic time!
