Go Phillies!!!

The Phillies are the 2008 World Champions!

We won!!! We are still in shock. The Phillies won the World Series!!! We watched the game with some friends last night and it was so exciting...we'll never forget the last pitch by Lidge! We woke up David and brought him down for the last three outs so we could celebrate with him. We all went up to Modell's after the game to get some gear, but the line was hundreds and hundreds of people! All the cars were doing drive bys and the crowd was cheering!!! Our city and area is on top of the world! We headed over to Dick's Sporting Goods and we were able to get all of our World Series gear! We are all so excited for the parade!!!! Go Phils!

So many memorable moments this series...Moyer pitching a great game, Ruiz (the catcher!)being the hero in game three, Hamels pitching perfectly, Blanton's home run (what!?!), Howard getting his swing back...big time!, Lidge having a perfect season and postseason...never missing a save, ALL of the Phillies playing together as a team to win the championship!!!

Fun Day!

Well, this week has been busy and fun. On Monday night, we celebrated William's 5th birthday and the boys had a blast. William was so excited for his birthday! I am so disappointed that I forgot to bring my camera...I didn't get any pictures! David really enjoys playing with William and they share a love for trains!! After the party, we headed home for a Phillies party!!! We were all decked out in our Phillies gear and we could almost taste the win...and then the rain came. Noo!!! We were all really sad about the rain, but we still believe!!! Go Phillies!!!

Last night, Dave and David had a special time together doing a craft. In the spirit of the season, they made a friendly spider! David has so much fun making it with Daddy.

Today, we went to play group and David had fun playing with all his friends. After play group Beth Anne, the Van Berkom's and us went to the grand opening of our new Walmart!!! Finally, our Walmart is here!!! We had McDonald's for lunch and walked around the store. It is huge! It's tied for the largest Walmart on the East coast. It's going to make my life a lot easier...no more trips up to Elkton!!!

4 Months Old

The smileyest (I know that's not actually a word, but it's true!), sweetest, most lovable baby boy is four months old today. We have loved every moment with Owen and it just keeps getting better and better. We love you Owey...kisses and hugs!!!

Visit from the Jackson's

This evening, the Jackson family came over to hang out and watch the Phillies game. GO PHILS! Since the game was delayed by 1 1/2 hours, we only ended up watching a couple of innings, but we really enjoyed being with them and enjoyed some good food too! David was so excited that Isaac was coming over, he barely slept during his nap and asked every half hour, "Is Isaac here yet?". He was so happy to see Isaac and they played so well together. They played with trains, had some dance time and made some "food" with play dough...all this in between taking breaks for chocolate chip cookies...a LOT of chocolate chip cookies. :) Owen and Abby seem to really like each other too as they were staring at each other and smiling at each other...it was really cute.

Dance time...

Trains!!!

One Down...Three to Go!!!!

Go Phillies!!!!!! I can almost see the parade....

What a week...

First, GO PHILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had to get that out of the way first! :) We are recovering from a week of sickness. We ended up having to take David to the ER at Dupont and he was mildly dehydrated. He was the sickest he's ever been. He finally was able to start keeping something down yesterday evening. Until then, he was still throwing up everything. Today he seemed much better and even had some energy back. Today he was able to resume a normal diet, although his appetite wasn't back to normal yet. Unfortunately, the poor little guy woke up with a cold today (got it from me!). I've also been sick these past three days and feel a little better tonight. I was feeling terrible yesterday. So far, Owen is not showing any symptoms of sickness, thank goodness!!! Dave is also fine which is good because he has a big meeting for work tomorrow. I've washed and disinfected our entire house I think :) so hopefully the sickness is on the way out!!! We were so blessed that our good friends (and now neighbors) Adrian and Meredith brought us over some homemade chicken noodle soup yesterday. David and I both enjoyed it and it was just what we needed. Thank you!!!
