in PA

Spent the day today in Philly. Met up with Uncle Pete, Aunt Baby, and Paw-Paw, then went to see the Liberty Bell. But first, Ryan had his first plane ride. He didn't nap (we thought he wouldn't), so as soon as we got off the plane and put him in the stroller, he fell asleep. Meanwhile, he had fun.


We all had fun seeing the Liberty Bell:



Next, it was time to find some authentic Philly Cheesesteak. Uncle Pete's technology led us to a place called Jim's Steak. We walked a little less than a mile to get there, and we found a line that wrapped around the corner! We decided to go for it. If you look closely at the back of the line, you'll see us:
Once inside, everyone enjoyed their cheesesteak:




Afterwards, we drove to Wyomissing (near Reading), where my cousin lives. There were lots of family members there, including many whom we had not seen in years. (I didn't realize that Anna and Sara had not met any of the Carter boys!)

Ryan meets Umpah and Nana Jan

This past weekend we went down to Florida to visit Umpah and Nana Jan. I think Ryan and Umpah hit it off pretty well. :)


As always when we visit, Umpah helps Jacob with his coloring and this time with his letters.

Happy Thanksgiving

It was just the 4 of us - but we went all out :) Hank brined a 10 lb. turkey and we roasted it today...Sooooo good. I made all the rest. We are truly thankful and blessed. You may notice Rayn is not in the pictures... He slept through it all...He had his turkey dinner in his baby food jar :)

Ryan gets a trim

I know it hasn't been a year - but we decided a trim was in order for Ryan. I really don't have much of an "after" picture because he still has his cute little spike. All we did was trim over his ears and in the back and a tiny bit off of the spike. Just wanted to post these because I think the first picture is too funny. The boy has no idea what is going on :)
