The Phillies have new fans
In case you haven't heard, the Phillies are in the World Series. We are now official fans, because one of the neighbors gave us a yard sign. The same lady gave Noah a Phillies shirt for his birthday. We will need to get shirts for everyone else to be true fans, but that will come in time! I can't believe the excitement and hoop-la over this whole event! You don't mess with some people when the Phillies are on TV.... don't call, don't text them, don't knock on their door!
A look at the new 'hood
We joke that the crisis in the real estate market has let the "riff-raff" into the Snowy Owl Woods subdivision! The Henrys, with all six kids, their huge van, numerous bicycles, AZ yard maintenance skills, and frequent visitors, have moved into the 'hood! Watch out!
Some people marry "above" themselves. We just moved in "above" ourselves! It is a great neighborbood. There are lots of families with kids our ages, several families with grown kids- more than a few are Italian Catholics. We are situated right at the center of our target area, right near a major highway giving us easy access to other parts of the county and Philadelphia.
We have been blessed to move into a much sought after school district as well. The kids are all in good school situations. We are very grateful for that! I especially am very thankful for buses that come and pick the kids up and bring them home. No more 45 minute morning route stopping at 3 different schools.
The house is well suited for entertaining with a big back deck, an open layout, and a finished basement. And with a new kitchen table that seats all 12 people with the leaves in, plus our existing dining room table, we can now seat 22 people comfortably! So far, we have had a waffle brunch, a pizza party, numerous late night fire pit conversations, neighbor kids over for dinner, and a few others that I can't remember.
This weekend, we look forward to hosting an open house celebrating our new home. It should be fun!
