About him

I'm trying a post with no pictures, just some thoughts about Jacob.

Since his cousin Lizzy's wedding in February, Jacob now thinks all weddings involve playing pool; Susy took him to the basement of the club during the ceremony and stumbled upon an unused pool table.

He likes to eat cantaloupe, hard boiled eggs, toast with butter, butter, pasta with red sauce, ravioli with red sauce and chocolate in every form.

He can now ride his scooter and his tricycle up and down the street, by himself, very fast. This means, in effect, that he is mobile.

In September he will start pre-school at Greentowne in Philadelphia. Mama is nervous; he doesn't know yet.

End of notes to myself.

Cape May

We went to the beautiful Congress Hall hotel in Cape May (affordable only during the off-season) and hung out near the ocean for a couple of days. If you look at the 2nd floor all the way to the left at the picture of the hotel you can see a waving Jacob and Susy.

3rd wedding

Last Saturday night, we all went to cousin Lizzy's wedding here in Philly. If you're counting, you'll notice that this was Jacob's third wedding. (The first being Tina and Bill's wedding in January of 2007; the second being Alex and Isaac's wedding in July 2009).
