Hello all. We’ve done quite a bit lately and need to catch up on our posting. Two weeks ago we visited Brent and Jenny in Philly. And then we’ve had our normal lives to boot, once we came back to the reality of our apartment in Richmond. Anyway, it’s time to put up some pictures.

the altar where we ate our thanksgiving feast

a second angle

jacob – happy about the feast

tonya dying of hunger before the feast

Julia

she’s cute, huh?

at least we think so

nice hat Julia

cool christmas setup in the middle of philly

we had to take a picture with it

buildings in a real big city are amazing.

we went to this market and took pictures of this cauliflower.

Jacob eating a philly cheesesteak

the true philly cheesesteak

they had a piano man rocking (jazzing) out on this piano where we sat and ate. He was amazingly good.

tonya eating the philly cheesesteak

after the first piano man, this piano lady came. she was awesome too.

the wall of candy they had in this market

just a picture of the market

gotta love these chocolates

how’s that for a chocolate heart? he he he…

picture of the hardrock cafe in downtown philly

a giant christmas tree inside Macy’s. They had a light show as well in this area, but when we showed up there was this organ playing and a zillion people waiting for the light show in half an hour

second picture of tree. click on this picture to see the bigger version–you might see the organ pipes. it was pretty cool.

we took the bus there and back. we love this picture of Julia (and Jenny and Brent too.)

close up

we were tired, what can I say?

the duck cake Jenny made for Julia’s birthday.

Julia and her unwrapped gift. I wonder what’s inside.

Julia and the frog we gifted for her birthday

Julia and her favorite aunt Tonya

the horse was in that gift earlier. the frog and the horse got along quite well

I was asleep when they took this picture of me in a pink sleeping bag.

asleep I tell you

that’s the cake this acme store gives for free to one year olds on their first b-day.

Julia didn’t care for it. Jenny’s cake was better.

hmm… I don’t know why we took this picture.

Jenny was jealous of Julia’s frog. Or maybe she thought brent was her prince turned into a frog. Afterall, stuff like that happens.

jenny asleep

jacob asleep

brent asleep

i guess that means julia was taking the pictures. or tonya. probably julia.

no. Julia is not in a frog suit.

i like these pictures of tonya

this is a picture jacob’s cousin david sent. we were skyping with jacob’s mom on thanksgiving and david took a picture of her screen and sent this picture.

Julia riding the horse

tonya wanted me to take a picture of her wrapped up like this.

our christmas tree.

Ooooooooh. Aaaaaaaaaaah.

I never knew cauliflower came in different colors! That was cool. As always, I love all your random-ish pictures!

Tonya actually looks like a Christmas tree in the picture with the blanket. I thought that’s what she was trying to be when I first saw it. See? You’re Christmasy without even knowing it!
