Time for a nap


Ever the good dad, Rick shows Kelsey the fine art of taking a nap after eating.

Kelsey goes for the food


Kelsey is all business when it comes to dessert. This little one learned from her favorite - Nicole who is showing her to just eat the icing!

Jessica' third party


Being Jessica means having 3 parties! This is the final party with the NY family. Brendan is just waiting for the song to be over so he can eat his apple crisp.

Jessica's surprise birthday party


Jessica's surprise party was at Benihanas. She picked the friends, date and time. The surprise is that she forgot to tell Jim and I that she invited all of these girls!
We are still not sure if everyone who was asked came but she had fun.

Apples in 5 minutes


After getting bad directions to the apple orchard and sneaking in just as it closed, we did manage to get a bushel of apples.
We had enough apples to make the apple crisp for Jessica's party and for the family to take home apple crisps as well. Lucky for Brendan, I forgot to hand them out so he got two apple crisps to go!

What a great gift-Aunt Kathleen

Having a world traveling Aunt makes it difficult to see her. What a special treat to have Aunt Kathleen at Grandmommy's and Grandpoppy's for my birthday.
Where is Chloe?

Boy is it hot and we are tired


Grandmommy, Jess and Ryan looked beat after walking around William Penn's house. Where is the air conditioning when you need it?

William Penn's House


Jessica and Grandpoppy are sitting on a bench at William Penn's estate. All buildings are replicas as nothing survived to the 1800s.

Jessica turns 11


Jessica is celebrating her 11th birthday. She is worried Nicole is making bunny ears but the joke is on Nicole!
