Fraternity Party

Last Thursday, it was beautiful out.  

Ariel had a doctor's appointment in the city.  Cece came along to keep her company.  Of course we had to hit Starbucks first.  

The girls ran around.  

The they wanted Chick Fil-a.  The only one in center city is at Drexel so off we went.  We walked by all the fraternity houses.  Ariel had a lot of questions.  Like when is the next party!

It was pretty around there.  

Then we made it to Brandy Melville as it was closing.  

Ariel was so excited her purchase was 67!

She really needs to get a job here.  

We got home late.  Vicky was playing VR and the twins were wrestling.  

It was a long day.  

 

Final Tennis Match

Last Monday, Fionna had slept over.  The girls were silly.  

Aden had his last tennis match of the season and his high school career.  It was freezing!  But I went to watch.  

He was playing with Jared.  

Big serve!

That's it!  A wrap!

Aden and Jared's slow walk into the sunset.  

I had to go to Amy's parents to get Ariel and some Artie snuggles.  

That night, the Flyers had a big win.  I hadn't watched the Flyers in years but the playoffs have been fun.  

Eleanora took Bev out to the Pub for her birthday.  

Last Tuesday was my buddy Aron's birthday.  

Aden cooked dinner while I had my guitar lesson.  

Jordan was jamming!

Poor Ariel had to take a lot of pills.  She was very unhappy.  

Last Wednesday, Noah had soccer practice.  

The twins eat chocolate chip cookie bar from the farmer's market.  I decided to try and make one myself.  I thought it came out great but the twins didn't love it. 

Ariel danced while I tried to watch the Flyers.  

Later that night, Ariel and I got back to watching the Godfather 2.  This scene in Cuba reminds me of the scenes in Mexico in Breaking Bad.  

Breaking Bad

 

Birthday Cake

Last Sunday, I dropped the twins off at Hebrew School and headed to the gym to take my class.

We had 3 intense fitness instructors.

I made it through but I wasn't very productive the rest of the day. 

My dad sent me a pic of the Lego he just finished.  Really cool!

I grilled dinner.  Not sure how I feel about the flat top grill.  

Honey came!

We had a birthday cake for me and my sister.  

The kids had some VR going on.  

Mark got a mean card game going.  

Fun!

 

Happy Birthday to Me

It's Sunday night.  It was a pretty quiet weekend but I'm still ready for bed.  Last Saturday, my birthday, I got up early and drove our old tv to an electronic recycling event.  It had been sitting in the garage for a long time taking up a lot of room.  

I picked up some croissants and Starbucks for Ariel and Fionna.  

They got up early to make themselves beautiful.  

Soccer time.

While Amy, Noah and I were at soccer.  Aden and Eli were bonding at home.  They played tennis and rode bikes.  

Great game boys!

We got back and Aden and Eli were playing on the swingset.  

VR time.

Then I went for a bike ride with Eli.  

I let him lead the way.  

He got so good so fast!

It was birthday dinner time.  We took the older kids and Bev to the Capital Grill. 

They sprinkled our table with fun stuff.  

Dinner was fabulous.  

We then stopped by to see Honey.  

Cousin cuddles.  

It was a nice, relaxing birthday.
