Weekend in Philly


























































































































































We had quite the weekend in Philly a couple weeks ago, and I am finally getting around to putting up pictures. The kids and I flew home with Greg in time for Dad's beautiful fighting back award ceremony. It was truly a special night. I don't think there was a dry eye in the place during the slide show for Dad. He gave the most incredible speech, too. I am so grateful that I was able to be there. The next two days were two of the most gorgeous Spring days ever. The yard is so nice for the kids now, that we all just spent the days relaxing outside, enjoying the sun and each other's company. We celebrated John Paul's 5th birthday and Gemma's 1st Friday night with a barbeque and ice cream cake from Friendly's! Saturday, we even made it to Longwood Gardens. It was a very peaceful, lovely weekend, and the kids had the most fun time with their grandparents and cousins. Can't wait to go back in June.

I wish I could have been there, too. What a fantastic thing for your dad! He totally deserves it.
By the way, Gemma reminds me of you when you were a baby, Catherine. The spittin' image. :)

All these pictures are so wonderful. It's delightful to see all of your children together, surrounding Lorrie and Fred with so much love. Thanks for posting!

Love, Teresa
