saying farewell...

This month we are saying farewell to our dear home in Jenkintown. We plan to move into a new home in Philadelphia on September 5th.

(more photos of the new place to come in a later post later)

Before packing the first box, I took photos of all our dear nooks to remember and record how much we love this home on West Ave. So many sweet memories and so much life has happened in this happy place -we are so thankful for this wee house, and all it's given us over the past 2.5 years. :)

Shades

On our errands this week, I happened to notice a Meredith - sized pair of sunglasses in the "75% off" section of Walgreens.

44 cents for sunglasses? Yes, please. :)

"cracker"

Meredith added another word to her vocabulary this week.

It's awfully convenient to be able to ask specifically for the favorite snack now... :)

Tomatoes! (and a garden update)

We held our first round of canning this weekend putting up around 100 tomatoes. Winter soups we are gearing up for you!

Jane went out for a rainy afternoon of foraging in our tomato patches... :)

Gray days bring more red tomatoes - that certainly was the case this afternoon!

These two win the prize for the biggest at 5 inches across!

Our squash patch is exploding with a variety of winter squashes growing beneath the green leaves.

...and...yes, the squash vines are taking over the yard! :p

wee bicycle

Jane has had some fun thrift store scores this summer (woot!). One of MJ's favorite "new" toys is a wee bicycle - just her size!

silly fun

At Granna and Grandaddy's house this week there's been lots of play time.

silly faces are a favorite all around

games with Uncle Will

eeeek!

Mini Mozart ;)

Meredith loves playing the piano - especially now that she's pulling up and able to reach the keys. Everyday she wants to 'play piano' several times.
