Trains

Look how late the trains were last week.  The Septa strike is over now.  Thank goodness.  Hopefully trains will resume their normal schedules, and only be 5-10 minutes late like usual.

Fog on my morning walk to the train 11/3/2016.

Halloween Parade

Ryan's school had a short parade around the parking lot.  There were lots of kids wearing some very fun costumes.  It wasn't raining, which was good, but it was cold and windy.  Then they had a pretzel, cookies and water.

Pumpkin Festival

Some pictures from the Pumpkin Festival at Tyler Arboretum on Saturday.

Dance Class

Ryan tried a dance class.  Our neighbor Andre attends classes, and it was "bring a friend day".   Needless to say, I won't be signing Ryan up for classes in the future. Dancing is not his thing.  At least he tried it though! He said he didn't like it.  (Note:  Natalie is yelling in the background of the videos. She wanted my 100% attention.)

Walking to School

Today we walked to school with Ryan and Chase, a boy from our street.  Natalie was in the stroller.  Pretty slow walk, but we weren't in any rush.

Storybook Land

Here is a link to a photo album I made on Facebook.   It has about 20 pictures from our visit to Storybook Land in New Jersey.  It was fun.

Here is a video of the scary wolf from Little Red Riding Hood.

There we are

Ha.  We made it on the Springfield Police's twitter feed. The post was back on August 2 - that "night out" night. Haha. Natalie and I are center. Drew and Ryan are by the firetruck.

I was probably just about to take this picture (this is a picture I took right around that moment):

Kindergarten

Here are some pics from Ryan's first days at kindergarten!  A couple pics were taken at the YMCA intro evening.   The others are from 9/6 or 9/5.

The next 6 pics are of his kindergarten classroom.  Below, he is greeting his teacher.

Looking in the classroom.  You can see their lockers in the hallway here.

Hallway.

The landscape is really pretty.  There's a nice playground tucked in back and also a deck area.

Braden and Ryan at their YMCA lockers.

Football Time

Getting ready for fantasy football.   Here is my logo.  My team name is the Philly Pheasants.

Aug 2nd Pics

We went to the National Night Out event in Springfield on Aug 2nd.  There were firetrucks, police cars, motorcycles.... all that good stuff.
