Yes, We are Alive.

Sorry for the no photo blog post. We are on vacation at the moment and happily do not have a computer along. There will be many photos from our adventures in the next two weeks! So far we have flown from Seattle to Newark, drove to Boston, had a fantastic McCabe family reunion and today drove from Boston to Philadelphia. Tomorrow we will spend the day as tourists in Philly. I'm looking forward to seeing Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and hopefully devouring a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich from Geno's! We'll be heading down to Washington, D.C. (my favorite city!) for four days of museums and sightseeing. We've been dodging the downpours and enjoying humid sunny days too.


Brooke has been a complete angel on the trip and impressed everyone with her cheerful mood, big smiles and waves, and her ability to adapt so quickly. I am such a proud mommy! She is closely turning one year old and I'm loving this little active girl to pieces. The people behind us on the five hour flight mentioned that they should write her a note stating how good she was on the flight (I was so nervous about that long of a flight!). It's hard to believe how much she is learning and vocalizing everyday. Her favorite words right now are "All Done!" which can mean "all done" or "not done" depending on the circumstance. Right before we left Wenatchee she learned the full arm wave (instead of the backwards finger movement wave) and she is putting it to use waving at every friendly, or not so friendly person we see. Homeless men, people in coffee shops and family have all been given the wave and smile and it sure draws a crowd!

Well, it's getting late, big day tomorrow. Wish us luck~
