Here is part of our kitchen here in New Jersey. We've always had galley kitchens so I'm kind of lost in this type of kitchen. It's U shaped.

And here is me with the kids. We're keeping busy since Jay is gone.

Here is Jay and the kiddos. We miss Jay so much!

Here is a familiy photo I took before Jay had to leave the country.

While in Philadelphia, we went to the National Liberty Museum, I think that's what it was called. They had a disturbing display of life sized statues of kids made out of jellybeans, but their heads were on backwards. It was freaking me out!

Here is the Liberty Bell all by itself. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if we had to take off our shoes at security or now. I've slept since then!

Here are me and the kids in front of the Liberty Bell. It wasn't as big as I thought it would be. We had to go through just about security to see the bell as we do to go on a plane ride. X raying everything and having to take off our shoes even!

We went to Philadephia a few weeks ago and I took this picture of Independence Hall.

Here is Ryan's room now. His room is a lot smaller than what he had in England. The one thing that worries us is his closet has stairs that lead up to the attic. So far he's stayed out of the attic, thank goodness!

This part of the house is supposed to be the dining room, but I didn't want to have us eating on a carpeted floor so we made this into our library/workout/computer room. I didn't take a picture of the computer desk. It's a mess!

Here is the view from the living room of the front door and the stairs. We miss living in a single story house!

Here is what Madison's room looks like now. It's not as big as her room in England, but we're making it work. In England, Madison had the biggest room so we had to get rid of a lot of stuff to make room here.

I almost missed this picture! This was taken at the aquarium. They had a huge tank full of all these jellyfish. I could watch them all day long.

I don't know if you can see them, but I just recently got 2 stained glass floor lamps. I am so in love with my lamps!

I'm sure some of you are curious about what our house looks like. Here is one view of our living room.

Here's what it looked like out our front door after our first real snow fall. It was so pretty before every one started walking on it!

Here is the biggest turtle at the aquarium. It's a loggerhead turtle named Bob even though it's a girl. They named her before they knew her sex.

Here are the two hippos they have at Adventure Aquarium. One is named Buttons and I can't remember the other's name. They're both female. The aquarium people said the females are easier to work with plus they're smaller.

Here is the picture we had taken just as we came into the Adventure Aquarium. We had a fun day that day. Ryan looks sneaky as usual.

Before Jay left, we went to the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ. I took this picture right outside the aquarium. This is the Delaware River all frozen over.
