We are excited to announce that upon the sale of our house, we are moving back to West Philly! An opportunity came along to buy a house on the same block where we used to rent – 42nd and Pine Street. We are thrilled at the idea of walking to work again, as well as the close proximity to a great public school. We’ll also take advantage of the weekly farmer’s market (during the warmer months) which is about 2 blocks away.
Although we are excited, we will miss many things about Mt Airy. We have awesome neighbors and a lovely street. We have a great co-op, chiropractor and dentist. Plus, we’ve done a lot of work to our house and it’s an ideal size for us. So hopefully someone can appreciate and enjoy the Phil Ellena house, as we have. If you know anyone who is interested in buying, here are the details as well as pictures!!

We are hoping to sell our house within 6 months. We’ll see what happens!

We spent two weekends in a row in Lancaster and had such a good time with friends and family. First, we had Wayne’s Christmas Village 2009 and then a surprise birthday party for Mom (Nancy). It was a chocolate theme. Then we came back the next weekend for Christmas, games, movies, etc. It was great to have all the siblings together, plus we got to meet Nathan’s girlfriend, Huong.

We had the privilege of getting together with both sides of our family last month for Thanksgiving. First we spent some time with the Roth & Nyces and then the immediate and extended Brubakers. Lots of good food and quality family time! Click here for some pictures. (Special thanks to Uncle Jere for the Brubaker pictures).

This is my favorite picture right now. The baby is 4 month-old Noelle, daughter of our friends Laura and Jeremy Brubaker. The picture was taken by Eric Kennel at a recent gathering of friends. Can’t wait till I have one of my own!

On a recent visit to Lancaster, Nancy and I tried to capture some of the beauty of fall. Although we couldn’t fully do it justice, these pictures give an idea of what it was like. Click here for more.

We visited Sara and Emmanuel (David’s cousin and her husband) in NY this weekend. We went out to eat, biked, saw a great play and just generally enjoyed a glamorous time and great company. Click here for some pictures taken by Sara.

Last weekend David and I took a whirlwind trip to Iowa. The main occasion was the wedding of Deb and Judy (Deb is David’s aunt). The wedding was in Kalona on some family property in a beautiful clearing in the woods. It was lovely to celebrate with friends and family.
On Sunday we got to see some of my high school friends in Des Moines as well as my mom. Click here for some pictures.

School has started which means work has gotten a lot busier and life has gotten a lot busier (we’re both taking a class).
Here is a picture of Chloe helping me study:
And here is a picture of Chloe in a bag:

My cousin Conrad turned 9 last week! We couldn’t go to his party, but hung out with him and his family a bit earlier in the day. Conrad wants to be a chemist, so we performed an experiment with a bouncy ball.
I had ComedySportz in the evening and had lots of great audience members: my co-worker, Maryeileen, and her husband Chris; and Dean, Nancy, Lynn, Debbie and David! It was fun to see so many familiar faces in the crowd.
