Summer Fun in Philly

Matt and I had a great weekend. We actually did a lot for one weekend. We went swimming(thanks again to our host family). Matt grilled salmon (his specialty). We went into downtown Philadelphia and walked the streets around Rittenhouse Square (see the photo above), had lunch and a cool summer treat. When the heat finally got to us we found refuge at the movie theater and watched 'Get Smart'. I must tell you that I loved the movie. I laughed so much. I actually laughed at times when no one else in the theater was laughing. That would then cause Matt to laugh which only made me laugh harder. I cannot even imagine what the other movie goers were thinking of the two of us.

Today we had a check-up at CHOP. Our baby Will is still doing well. The OB told us that his left lung is much larger than he would expect and he scored another perfect 10. We got to see his sweet face too. This was the first time in two and a half weeks that he was not hiding. He has the most beautiful face. I especially love his little lips and chubby cheeks. We could look at him 24/7 but the hospital only gave us about 10 minutes. So super cute. Matt and I both are both head over heels for our baby boy. All day today Matt kept saying 'he is so cute' and 'he is the cutest baby I have ever seen'. There is nothing quite like a parent's love and we are really enjoying being filled with this unconditional joyful love. It is definitely a new and special love and in some way so familiar. Perhaps it is familar because we are both the recipients of the same love from our parents. We will try to get some new photos uploaded soon so that you may all enjoy checking out our handsome little man too.
