october 3rd - gemma's passport...and family descends on philly

Mommy and Daddy had the day off today, so we went to get Gemma's passport documents sent out.  We went to the same Post Office where we took Alex and it felt like we had just been there not too long ago....
















Everyone began arriving this afternoon for Gramps' surprise retirement dinner.  Aunt Karen was the first to arrive, followed by Kyle, Uncle Larry, Aunt Jill, and Bridget. We had dinner at our house which lasted until about 2am.  The kids played all night and Aunt Karen gave Alex "bones" pajamas that he was really excited about and had to put on immediately.
