Philly life

well, every thingis coming together. My work is getting busy the house is close to where we want it. I was talking to some locals about our life here and they were wondering why we came back. The details aren't important, but we Belive that every thing happens for a reason(plus we are stuck here for a while) I gave my self a challenge of coming up with ten things why Philly doesn't suck. So in the next few days I will be coming up with a few things for my list. They will not be in any perticular order, I'm making it up as I go along.

Hanging at the playground.
Getting ready round these parts.
Trying to keep Milo from pestering the dog, it seems to be a losing battle. What is it with 3 years olds and pets. He is extremely persistant and awfully sorry when he gets in trouble....
On a lighter note,
Milo came to the bedroom this morning with his doctor set and checked me out, temperature and all. He said that I would be just fine and gave me a kiss, ah.....the love!

what's old is new again.

I really wanted to sum up my time in Philly by talking about our plants. My Norfolk pine is a whole different tree. It has doubled and softened up it's needles. I think it will look much deserving of the Christmas decorations this year. It has had a ruff time in Maine, it started half dead on the sidewalk in Portland. I took it in, but it was slowly dying through the years. These last few months on the porch it has sprung to life! I had to tie it to the fence because it is so top heavy now.
Our other plant the rosary vine has come back from the dead. It suffered a ruff tuck drive down from Gardiner, but after we thought it was trash, it started to re-grow. I think there is some moral lesson in there somewhere, but I got nothing.

movie time!

Hey out there, I got a day off from the daily grind, I wanted to post some of the fun stuff I have been upto.

 We made a DVD for Danny (brother) on his birthday. This little clip is one of the highlights. If you would like a copy of the dvd the cost should be some where near this..    

         or Maybe just a S.A.S.E.?  I was working on having a hosted website, but alas it isnt going to happen.

how we are getting along

This is what I'm looking like these days. I've had a request for a photo, so here it goes. We've been battling a cold around these parts and hoping for the 2nd floor bathroom to be finished soon.
Not too much else to report. We've got the second season of Rome to sink our teeth into. Hail Caesar!

IT's a Birthday!

Im finally over my twenties.! Me not this guy... hope all is well for every one tonight, full moon and lunar eclipse and all.

happy in our new home

Well were are finally in the new home after many trials and tribulations. We aren't nearly finished but its getting there. Its quite enjoyable to be back amongst our things and especially to be sleeping in our own bed! Yay!

Chris & Milo did enjoy an adventure to the shore this past weekend. Milo enjoyed his many cousins and even went to the boardwalk at Seaside.


I, alas, stayed home & went to ye ole bridal shower for my Auntie. It was super fun & took some nifty photos with my Ma's camera which I do not have here. But a good time was had by all.

Last but not least, we welcomed a new member to the family this week. He was much welcomed and we are all excited to start this part of our lives.
Meet Boots-y,

once a crazy wretch who ruled the roost, now a loving family dog who enjoys walks, pets and treats. Some of you may remember him as my grandparents wiley dog, he is much calmer now in his old age of 10 and is enjoying life here with us!
