Always a surprise


There is always a surprise in Philly. We were eating in Bobby's Burger Place (Bobby Flay) for lunch and these characters walked by. I grabbed Lilia and ran out the door to see them. The kids looked on longingly, but they were too timid to stand with them for a picture. I've never once seen Lilia's face so excited as when she saw Mickey & Minnie Mouse. "It's like a parade," she commented.

Headed to the zoo with friends

Our dear friends came up to visit. It was so wonderful to see them again. They left for Georgia only weeks before our plane landed from living overseas. It was so sad to have missed them for so long.
Seeing them yesterday was wonderful! It felt like no time passed at all. This is a picture of Eli Webb, now 3 years old, Michael & Julia's son. Lilia and Eli played so well together at our house. One great thing they had in common was their minimal attention span at the zoo. We would stand at an animal display for about 30 seconds to 1 minute before either Eli or Lilia was shouting to see the next one.

Flamingos

What a perfect animal to take pictures of. They are shaped so elegantly and it's easy to make it artful with just a click and a crop.
