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.

First Second birthday party

Even though his birthday is still over a month away, we decided to start the celebrations early, while some friends were in town from Germany.

Iris being very cool.

That's Clara on the left. She's 10 months old and walking around like a champ!

The Two Jacobs

This morning at Rittenhouse Square's Goat (in background) we ran into this litte boy named Jacob who just turned two, wearing the exact same shirt and similar blue shorts as our Jacob. They were very sweet together - in the picture, our Jacob is sharing the phone with Jacob number 2

A week in the Midwest

After flying to Detroit on the 9th, we spent a couple of nights Up North. We had a great time catching up with everyone and hanging out on the beach.

A rainbow over Lake Huron. We drove through some rain on our way up I-75, and it rained off and on through the evening. We were still able to grill out for dinner, and then we saw this rainbow that actually was a complete half-circle on the water.
