Life on the 2nd Floor

 

We live on the 2nd floor of our building. It is on the corner of 6th & Master Street.

Across the street is James R. Ludlow Public School. There are about 300 children that attend this school. There is a never ending flow of kids to and from that building.

 

Several Saturday were spent at the Franklin Institute! It is an incredible hands on science museum for kids. So we fill the van and spent the day!

One of the cool things about a membership here: the sky bike is free!

Valentines Weekend Stephen & Sonya, Jackie and Judah,

and Tristan & I went to Camden, New Jersey to an aquarium.

Penguins, hippos, sharks, and tons of fish!

 



Did you know Philadelphia has the fastest growing Muslim population in America?

 

 

It finally snowed!!

Which sounds like good thing...and it was until several days later.

Parallel parking is bad enough but snow simply shrinks the spaces.

It was fun while it lasted!

 

 



Another Soft Pretzel Party - Aaliyah, Anisa, & Destiny

 

Tristan was happy to find out that these two kids love Monopoly!

My family visited and since it was unusually warm we walked Ben Franklin Bridge.

There were huge ice chucks and they floated upriver. It was a splendid day!

 

 

This past weekend was Unban Youth Workers Retreat at Camp Andrews. It was catch up time with some old friends, workshops, and meeting new people! Our verse for the weekend:

 

^" For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that

brings salvation to everyone who believes..." ~ Romans 1:16
