Happy 10th Birthday Gabe!!

I can't believe it but our big guy is officially 10 years old!! It's so exciting for us (and overwhelming) seems like just yesterday when his was just a tiny little "wiggler" fighting for his life, and today... well- he's kicking butt and taking names!!!

Quick picture with his birthday hat they gave him at school. (This is the first time ever Gabe has had school on his birthday... we had a strike in our district and while most people were upset about the long school year- Jeremy and I were glad the teachers stood up for what was right; and Gabe was ecstatic to have a birthday party at school!!!)Gabe and Daddy at birthday dinner.Gabe yelling "CHEESE" in his picture with mommy!!Yay!! Happy Birthday "ME!"

Daddy, Mommy, and Me!!

Phillies Fun Night!!

It was a gorgeous night- nice and warm and packed with FUN!!
The Phillie Fanatic!Shane Victorino #8!!Home Run!!There was lots of excitement! People getting engaged!!

A guy ran out on the field and it took them quite a while to catch him! The best part was for a minute nobody was going after him yet, and he was just standing in the infield and shook hands with one of the players... (I missed that pic) but then... the chase was on!!!

dude, finally busted!! there were a lot of homers in this game, we got lucky - The Phillies won 10 to 8

Kim and Martin- Kim is one of the math teachers I work with (Martins her hubby!)

Camp in Weekend

Gabe's new favorite is WALL*E, He loves the movie and my mom got him an interactive smart toy that is voice activated~ it's beyond his favorite, he likes it almost more than Wii!!

Well, this past week I found the coolest thing EVER as far as Gabe is concerned, a WALL*E bed tent!!!

So he had a camp in with Daddy this weekend- SO MUCH FUN!!

For you parents out there, they also had these in a bunch of other characters, I found it at Walmart. Now I'm just wondering if he'll let us take it off of his bed ever!! LOL!

Evergreen Elementary Hawaiian Luau 2008

Some of you may know that Gabe was at a different school this year, and so instead of the "Skippy Days" they had at his old elementary, Evergreen had a "Hawaiian Luau" at the end of the year.

There were toys, games, prizes, candy, and popcorn- there were all kinds of fun things to do and explore.

Here's a couple snapshots Jeremy took:

Gal's Night Out...

So, Last night I had a "Girl's Night Out" with my Philly gal pal Shani-

WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

This is right before we left the house to head down into the city Breaking it loose at Continental, a Steven Starr Restaurant at 2nd & Market in Philadelphia.

Oh Yeah, that's a LEMON DROP!!!The restaurant was really cute it had Olive lights above the tables in the initial dining area and these really cute tables, etc, we were in one of the back dining areas, a little more quiet, nice for conversation. Shani is holding a carrot cake dessert, so cute!! A cute picture with the lights of the other bars/restaurants behind Shani Ditto- there I am, feeling very little pain after a few LEMON DROPS!

As I said Continental is a Steven Starr restaurant, I actually think I am going to try all of his Philly restaurants, he has a couple in NY and AC (Atlantic City- just in case!!)
