Strike!!

I'm a big fan of good titles to catch everyone's attention! I suppose strike stands for a couple of things, #1 Our "Phitin Phils" have been playing in the world series, tonight is game 6, we are down 2 games to 3, if the Yankees win tonight it will be all over (Boo, we are NOT Yankees fans!!), I certainly hope we can win again this year! It's so fun to be in a city with all these professional sports going on, I am loving it!
So #2...it really is a strike! SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) workers went on strike when the workers union declined the new contract offer from the city..so annoying. We have relied on public trans. for the last two years. Yesterday I drove Eric to school, with my headache, stuffy nose and sore throat, and two kids with runny noses.coughs, etc.. Not today, Eric drove himself to school. We usually prefer not to do that considering every time Eric has done that in the past the Jeep has been vandalized in some way (I guess a sorta nice scratched up from the bushes in our alley red suv has a big sign on it or something). At least no one can steal it though, with it's fabulous anti theft device! Lets hope this strike doesn't last much longer!



Sticker fun!


There is as story behind these pictures! When Lilli was about 2 months old our friend Gloria was sitting by us in church and she gave Lilli this packet of very nice stickers to play with. After two years of trying (yes, I keep ratty old stickers packs!) Lilli managed to open the stickers!

The girls have both been sick the last few days, but are still in pretty high spirits. Carmen smiles at me as I clean out her nose, what a cutie!


Gratitude Attitude: I am thankful for good health!
