From looking at our blog it would seem that we fell of the face of the earth. Thankfully, we did not. Life happens, and blogging was put on the back burner. It happens to the best of us. But let's get back to it so we can catch up and get back to regularly blogging!
So, our 8th week in Philadelphia was pretty great. I started off the week by driving to Middletown to meet Coralee and Carolyn, my sisters-in-law. Yeah, their names are awesome, don't you think? Anyway we were going to meet up for a girls day! Coralee has two little girls (who you have been featured on this blog before) Annie and Mabel, and Carolyn has her daughter Cadance. And I have myself. But we make a great group of Ellsworth females and thoroughly enjoy each other's company. Anyway we wanted to take advantage of the fact that we lived so close to each other this summer.
So we went to a delicious pizza joint, then visited a chocolate factory, and then played at a park for a while! It was a lot of fun. After Glen got off work, he jumped on a train (the Philly train station is literally connected to his law firm) and met us in Middletown that night. It was great to have that kind of flexibility, and Glen loves any excuse he can find to spend time with his brother.
So here are the pictures! I should also mention we met up with some of Coralee's friends and their girls so that explains the extra women/children in some of these pictures!
Look how cute my nieces are. They are the 3 girls on the left, with my two sisters-in-law.
I got to have Cadance and Annie in my car!
I love these ladies

This was one of my favorite moments. Mabel had so much chocolate she was in a chocolate daze and was just staring blankly. It was hilarious.
I forgot to mention they had a little train on display and the girls got to play around in it.
That weekend Glen and I returned to Middletown to spend time with his family again and visit where Glen served a mission for the LDS church in Harrisburg, PA, which is near Middletown. We visited with several families that Glen met while he served and even got to share some meals with them! It was really neat for me to meet these people, especially some of the people Glen helped baptize. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of Glen and his mission friends (Fail. Totally my fault), but I do have several of us spending time with our nieces, of course!
Picking some tomatoes in Coralee's beautiful garden! Can you tell Uncle Glen just woke up?
We also helped Mabel practice how to walk!

Here is Uncle Glen helping Annie play what she calls "Yum Yum," AKA "Cut the Rope."
If you can't tell already from this super long blog post, we love our nieces!
Well that concluded Week 8 in Philadelphia! We'll update some more soon.
