Scenes from our Week – Week 4

We had another busy week at our house, starting with Pat’s birthday.  Unfortunately I have no pictures of that.  We had friends over since it was such a gorgeous day and spent the evening on the porch!  Fun times! The rest of the week flew by and suddenly it was time for trick or treating! …

Vacation Part 2

While in Philadelphia, we knew that even though we were close to Washington DC and New York City, we just couldn’t fit those stops into our intinerary.  But, we could go to the Atlantic Ocean.  We chose Belmar, NJ as it was “family friendly” and a straight shot over from Philadelphia.  It took only an…
