Black and White Wednesday - "Philly 2011"

Philly - July 2011 162

Hello blog.......remember me?

I took a bit of a bloggy break and (tried to) catch up on a few things and took a little trip to Philadelphia with some dear buddies who share a similar joie de vivre and a passion for (gee, where do I begin) photography and kids and a whole lot more.

And I'm not sharing one picture of anybody (so don't be looking for any people) ......just some beautiful buildings and statues and interesting finds in what is a truly spectacular city.

Oh, how I missed you guys.
LOVE the first four shots.
I felt like I was glancing through a copy of Architectural Digest.
Well done, my friend.

Even despite the unbearable heat, we managed to make our way around and see the sights!! Your pictures are FABULOUS!!! I LOVE THAT RED DOOR!!! I did not get that one, but it is so prettty with that sunflower:)) Hopefully we will get to plan another weekend together sometime soon......and not another year from now!! Enjoy your week with the girls..... I know you missed them so!!

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!) We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home. This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God. My (growing) family. Hangin' out with my girlies. My wonderful friends (you know who you are!). To laugh (out loud and a lot!). Music. Painting. Hugs. Long chats with my buds. My garden. To read (ha...when I can!). Sunshine. Spring, Spring and more Spring. Building things. Cooking. Decorating. Parties (ahem). The internet. Life. Movies. A.I. Dancing with the stars. So you think you can dance. Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off. Oh Gee...everything actually!!
