Fall 2009

Our BIG news for October (and our entire lives) is that we bought a house! It's located in the Mt. Airy section of Philly, is a row-home, on a street filled with kids (one neighbor called it a 'very fertile street'), a block from the train into downtown philly, near lots of wooded areas - and we could go on and on about why we really like where our house is located. Now, we are enjoying making it into our home. You should come and visit us, if you haven't already.

Also in October, we celebrated with Minya's Nya-nya's (auntie's) as they tied the knot. Zayan and Beth were married on October 18. It was a beautiful ceremony, with good food and drinks, and at one point Jonathan and I both turned around to see Minya tearing it up in her high chair! Aside from the brides (in our humble opinion), she was the cutest one there.

And of course, this was Minya's first Halloween too. As the story goes, Minya and I were at the store shopping for items other than a halloween costume, when we happened to pass the rack with all of the costumes. Jonathan and I had been thinking that she would make the cutest lady bug or bumble bee, but Minya had her own idea - a lion! She saw it hanging there, and immediately reached for it and growled. So, needless to say, she had to be a lion. Hope you enjoy the rest of the photos of her just swinging. These are truly some of my favorite photos that I will cherish. Hope you enjoy them too.
