Well, life here in Philly is starting to get cooler, with beautiful orange and yellow splattered across the foliage. I am serious. It is BEAUTIFUL here right now!
This week is reading week at Palmer, meaning David gets a nice break from classes. I, on the other hand, am still trekking away at A&P and Microbiology, both of which are kicking my butt, but I will survive!
Jaythan is getting huge! He had a well-baby appointment the other day, weighing in at 15 lbs 9 oz--78th percentile--which is actually down from the 94th percentile he was at birth! He is definitely healthy and happy! We have about a million videos and pictures of him, but uploading a video onto a blog is rather time consuming, so I have to be picky. But here is a great video from last week!
We have been able to take part in a lot of activities recently, and really feel like we have a wonderful, supportive community around us.
Last week, I went to a women's retreat for my church, and the next day all of the church families made a visit to Linvilla, an apple orchard. On the website I read about all the activities available there. You can pick your own fruit, go on a hayrack ride, buy pumpkins, play in hay, visit the farmers market. It was a field-trip meets farm kinda place.
As we were about to leave, one of our fellow church-goers told us that it was the DISNEY LAND of apple orchards. Once we got there, we saw what he meant. It was CA-RA-ZY. It reminded me of the Kansas State Fair! There were actually people in vests directing traffic to the huge field of a parking lot! There were children everywhere with sno cones and candied apples. Crazy. We left with some apple cider donuts and an apple cider slushie! It was fun :D
Last night, the international students club had another meeting, and David and I hosted it. This simply meant that we were in charge of food. Since we are the token Americans of the group, I decided to make Chili! And anyone who ate in a public school cafeteria knows that if you have chili, you HAVE to have cinnamon rolls! So I made my mom's Cool Beans cinnamon rolls...Duh... :D Thanks, Mom!
I will soon upload some new videos of the little booger.
We love you all!
What a sweetie! That thing he does with his eyes cracks me up! :)
