Daddy's been taking some big test, so without an editor I've been unable to update the ol' blog in way too long. I have a ton of pictures to post, so let's get to it. It seems like forever, but only two months ago we moved into our little flat in Jenkintown. Daddy was on the ball and took a few "before" pictures:


Our living room.


My room. Lots of space to lay Thomas tracks!

Grandma Nene and Grandpa Don helped us move in. Here we all are on my sweet new bed:


Grandma Nene and I did some serious weeding:

(I'm doing my scary rabbit imitation to scare off the bunnies that have taken up residence in our yard.)

One day we took a break from the grunt work to take the train into downtown Philadelphia:


As you can tell, I was damn excited:

They don't have slums like this in Charlottesville!

We joined the hordes of tourists to see the Liberty Bell. It has a big crack, which daddy wouldn't let me touch.


Then we took a boat across the Delaware River to beautiful New Jersey.


Philly looks really nice from over here. Especially compared to New Jersey.


Then we split a cheesesteak. So delicious. It's enough to make you actually want to eat without constantly being berated by your parents...


All of our neighbors have swimming pools, so I told daddy we had to keep up with the Joneses. So we did, and I helped us install it:


Those who lived near us in Charlottesville will be glad to know that despite the unfamiliar surroundings, our cat Marge still leads us on our walks:


That brings us up to early July. Next installment of pictures, coming soon!

Hey everyone-- new joke!

Q: Why did the baby have blood coming out of its head?
A: Because it feel down and hurt itself!

ZING!

Pictures are coming up soon. Oh so soon.

I'm much cuter in PA

Here are some recent pictures to satisfy your thirst for Evvy knowledge. First, a few pre-moving pics...

Oblivious to the boxes piling up around us, Eli and Rachel look adoringly on yours truly.


OK, enough with the adoration.


Perhaps I can camouflage myself right here, to get a few minutes of peace...

So now we're up in Jenkintown. Daddy took a picture of my room before the hordes of movers arrived:

It's very Zen. I wish they kept it this way.


The moving totally pooped out mommy and me. It was a little ridiculous watching Daddy and Eli sitting around drinking Mint Juleps while the ladies did all the hard work.


Here we are in our new breakfast room. New rules in PA-- sitting on the table is allowed!


I've discovered that while the bottle is good, fingers taste even better. Although this new delicacy has its downside. Eli has become obsessed with the song "Maneater" by some cheesy pop duo, and he keeps singing about me being a "Handeater." Ha ha, real funny.

Daddy told me to put up this last picture solely for the benefit of the D.C. ultimate crowd. Apparently, daddy filed for something called a "restraining order" right after this picture was taken. Whatever that means.


Incidentally, now that we're out of the South, I have to say that I'm much more attractive relative to the rest of the population. I don't know what it is about the Northeast, but it is a bit of a boost to my self-esteem.

More soon-- stay posted here for 4th of July pictures and my first foray into "solid" food.
