The Philly List

I was walking around our old neighborhood the other day by myself, when I realized that Estelle doesn’t really get to see much of the city we call home. That got me thinking about all the fun things we need to do with our little gal. We have so much we want to do this spring and summer, I thought it would be nice to write it down! I also really like the notes app on my iPad, so I kept my list pretty simple. Stay tuned for follow-up posts as we slowly cross things off of our list. Do you all have any fun adventures planned in your neck of the woods?

She’s Crafty…

…she’s just my type. Valentine’s Day is admittedly not my favorite Hallmark holiday, but Estelle and I will use any reason to break out the glitter glue. We made some treat bags for Estelle’s teachers and classmates. Check out the results. I didn’t get any photos of the artists in action, but David has promised to follow-up with a Valentine’s Day post. Estelle has her outfit already picked out, but we’ll see what she thinks in the morning.

Morning Visitor

I spotted an unusual critter in our bird feeder early this morning, can you spot it?

How about now?

A little mouse!

Who’s That?

On our walk around the neighborhood this morning (see today’s other post), we played a little game — let’s call it “Who’s That?” — basically, we point to someone on the big mural around the corner, and Estelle says who she thinks it is.  Here are some of Estelle’s declarations:

“MAMA!”

“DADA!”

“VUVU!”

Out of curiosity, we continued the game at the window of the collectibles shop we passed on our way home…

“CHAW-LEE!”

“NANA!”

New Look

Some formatting funkiness happened with the WordPress overseers, so I hope you aren’t startled by our new look here at South Feaster-delphia dot com.  Fret not, it’s a fresh new look but with the same content you’ve come to know and love – a peek into our familial happenings & a step-by-fall-by-step view of Stelly’s coming of age.  PS: Check out those teeth!

Happy Birthday America

A few photos from our July 4th weekend so far.  Thank you to the Smith’s for entertaining us at their lovely home and pool.  We enjoyed the cooler weather while it lasted…here comes the heat!
