Happy 65th Dad!

Last weekend we all went down to Clearwater, FL to celebrate dad's 65 birthday. Mom, Dad, Becky, and Ari had made a week of it, driving from Virginia with a 3 day stop in Orlando, but we had to make it quick - arriving on Friday and heading out on Sunday. It was worth it though. The weather was beautiful and we got some good pool and beach time in.

While we were there we saw 3 beach weddings. The girls were spying on one here. We all had our own opinions about which bride's dress was best.

Cousins! Mom and Becky took the three kids to the aquarium (while Dave and I enjoyed some solo pool time). 

The bathing beauties, Lauren and Ari

The sunset on Saturday night was beautiful, so we took advantage and tried to get some good shots. 

The whole fam!

On Sunday morning the girls wanted to go and look for shells. There were a ton of really small ones all along the water line.

Happy Halloween 2017!

Halloween this year was a success! The weather has been beautiful, so there were no jackets necessary. We had a series of Halloween parties the weekend before the big day. First up was the Fall Festival at Bala House Montessori. 

Here's Lauren with her friend Tegan and Julia - the pink and purple crew. 

Then we headed to the Philadelphia Girls Choir Halloween party, where Sophie arrived as a vampire bride.

The vampire bride. Lauren was scared to look at her.

And then that evening Dave and I headed to the neighbor's party that had a Circus Freak theme. 

The Circus Freaks. Parasidic twin and he/she. We totally freaked out the kids. 

On Halloween Sophie's school had their annual Halloween parade. I went and watched the kids march around the athletic field and then went to the classroom for a party. Here she is with her whole 2nd grade class and Mrs. Murphy, the minion. 

And then the actual evening of Halloween. Sophie went as the vampire bride again and Lauren decided to go in her Halloween dress. The scare crew above. 

With the neighbors before trick-or-treating - Davis, Parker, Maya, Lauren, Emma and Sophie.
