Holiday toy trains

So, this isn't the best photo ever, but I like the festive mood it captures. On Sunday we took J to see some toy holiday trains down at the convention center. It was a great exhibit and full of toddlers on a cold, Sunday morning. There were buttons to push and complicated train tracks and I think Jacob could probably have stayed there all day, he even started running and following some moving trains.

Oldies but goodies

I found these pics on my mom's camera over thanksgiving, and, while they are from August, I loved them too much not to share. I believe the moustache is tofutti cream cheese.

Family pics

Second Second Birthday Party

On Saturday we had a party at Seger playground in Center City to celebrate the boy turning two. Jacob's grandparents came in from Detroit and lots of wonderful friends came to help us celebrate. Here he is opening some presents:

Susy made a spectacular vegan chocolate cake big enough for, well, a party.

Two Years Old Today!

Our friend Sarah the photographer spent some time with us taking photos of the boy and our whole family. Here are a few she took while hanging out with Jacob in our back yard (I'll post some of the whole fam soon). Susy and I are having a lot of fun with Jacob's second birthday, even if he doesn't seem to quite get what's going on, or why I keep singing Happy Birhtday, Jacob. Yesterday we spent about an hour blowing up balloons and watching them fly around the living room.

The Delaware Beaches

We took an adventure yesterday to the beaches in Delware, camping in Henlopen State Park near Lewes, DE and checking out Rehoboth Beach, DE. It is a beautiful October weekend here on the East Coast, Sunny and warm, and not too cold at night for camping.
