"Filthadelphia" is a misnomer!

We've been residents of Philadelphia (Glenside, actually) for almost a month now and we truly love it! We continue to miss Dallas - particularly our dear friends there - so much, but we're grateful for how wonderful our experience has been here thus far!

After a week of settling in, we went to the Philly zoo with our new friends, the Fluhrers. Robert and Garner (pictured here) have become fast friends and it's been such a blessing for them to have a buddy in the midst of the moving chaos!
For all of you who have been holding your breath (or maybe it was just me), you can relax now...they do have a sufficient "Cars" section in the Target here. Phew!
Daddy made Robert his first weapon, which he'll undoubtedly want to try out on his little brother...awesome. :)
Lightning McQueen, watch out! #48 may not be fast (or easy to steer), but the drivers sure are cute! And Lowe's, we've officially converted from Home Depot. A double seater, race car buggy is a sure fire way to get this Mommy (and these boys) to shop long and often!
One of our favorite discoveries has been the Arboretum here. They currently have a train exhibit open and it is a little boy's wonderland!


And "Mommy's wonderland" is a walking/riding (bike or horse)/running path by a beautiful creek just 4.5 miles from our house. It is dreamy!! We've been there several times already and my neck literally aches when we leave from looking up and around at all of the natural beauty.


And some final shots from the Arboretum. Robert and Connor would have spent hours running/crawling up and down this hill.

In the short time that we've been here, it seems like it will be a wonderful place to live and I assure you it would be a wonderful place to visit! :)
