We haven't been posting pictures as much as I would have liked on our trip, but they'll keep coming. Right now we're in Wisconsin, the last leg of our trip. It's been a great time, but I'm definitely getting sick of living out of a suitcase!
Here are pictures from our time in Philadelphia to see Leah, Drew and baby Emery. While Leah was in labor, we stuck close by and just hung out around the hotel, thinking that baby would come. However, Leah was in labor for way longer than any of us were expecting (almost 48 hours!) so on day 2 of labor, we went to Valley Forge to try to distract ourselves a bit. But finally at 11:02 pm on July 15th, Emery Joseph Hood entered the world, weighing 9 pounds, 13 ounces and 22 inches long! The next afternoon, on our way back to the hotel from the hospital our car broke down. Hours later, after getting towed, we found out the alternator died. The mechanic doesn't keep Subaru alternators in stock (because they apparently never go out--we have 185K miles on our car and the mechanic thinks that this is the first replacement) so we had to push back our trip one day to wait for the repair, which worked out great because we were able to spend more time with Leah and Drew and our little nephew!

I thought I'd come see if there were any new posts lately, and wow! I got the day just right :). Lennon is growing so fast! That is great that you & your sister have babies so close in age. I hope they'll be good friends. Let me know when you get back in town, I'd love to see you!
