On the Homefront

We celebrated the girls birthdays while we were in Philadelphia this weekend. Therese doesn’t turn five until the 16th and Myriam will be three on the 26th, but this gave us an opportunity to celebrate with family. What a blessing- all the uncles made an appearance as well as Aunt Erin, Aunt Lorraine and Uncle Jack. Myriam’s Godparents and Godsister also joined us for the festivities. Irene, Lori’s good friend from college now lives in Philadelphia and came to share in the lunch, cake and ice cream. Nan whipped up another gorgeous cake- a ballerina tutu for our little dancers- and it was a hit with the under six crowd! The kids were wiped out and slept the entire way home and didn’t even wake up when we placed them in their beds after the 2 hour drive. Daddy and Mommy were grateful for the quiet ride home and the easy bedtime!
