Let's Go Phillies!

Luke and I love the Phanatic and watching the baseball games. Before game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers, Dad was reading a book about the Phanatic's day at Citizen's Bank Park when we spontaneously broke into a resounding rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame!" Dad obviously can't carry a tune in a bucket, but mom luckily chimed in to help take it home. I think it's also clear that I love to count. "1, 2, 3 strikes you're out at the ol' ball game!"

Pandas and Elephants!!

The great thing about the National Zoo is that it's free - not the animals, just the cost of admission. Here's a shot of the back of my head in the foreground, but there's an elephant in the distance that I am in awe of.


This panda was mesmerizing. I could have watched her for hours hiking around the grass and nibbling on the weeds. Next time I see the zebras (also black and white - I'm learning my colors) I'll write another update.

At The Playground, Ya Know!

We've been doing some daytime exploring in our new town. Check out this great playground down the street. Can't wait until Lukie gets his sea legs so he can run around with me. This is me looking cute in some contraption that has springs on the bottom.


This is not a real car. It's only pretend.


Me and my brother Liam (this is Luke writing now). My older brother is a wild child at the playground. Can't wait to get my sea legs, indeed! Liam has no idea how life will change when I do. It's go time!

ABC Puzzle

Check out my new puzzle. Thanks to Amanda, Ben and Brandon. Now I can really sing the ABC's in my sleep. Can you find Luke in this picture?


Very cool artsy picture here. Please note that I am showing my support for LIVESTRONG by chewing on the wrist band


This is embarrassing, but I usually like to go sans pants when I'm in my room. Here I am attacking Luke with my stuffed panda bear that I received at the Zoo in exchange for my membership. I swear Luke liked it. (I did. - Luke)

Meg's Wedding I'm Rehoboth

This weekend we went to the beach for the wedding of Mom's and Dad's high school friend, Meg. These high school weddings always offer ample opportunity to further cement their stellar reputation. Here's a shot of part of the group.


Infortunately the bride and groom didn't make the picture.


Babies in sunglasses are always a good idea.


Thrasher's fries are the best.

Thank You Charlie

Just scored this sweet terrycloth robe from Uncle Charlie. I think he sent it for Luke, but I'm gonna break it in.


Oh yeah, it's monogrammed.

Say Hello to Lukie

Is it really October already?! Time flies. Mom and Dad have been pretty busy with life and have had a hard time keeping up with the blog. But please welcome my little baby brother...Luke (or "Ookie" as I like to call him. He was born on July 2nd, just two days before the 4th of July. That means he'll always see fireworks around his birthday. Here are some pictures of the family. I love lukie.

Lukie and I meet for the first time!

Lukie, just minutes after he was born. I was at home sleeping with Susanne and Bear (thanks guys, i didn't even know mom and dad had left).

Me and my handsome papa.

Can mom's belly get any bigger? I was prepared to take her to the birth center...note the scrubs.
