Vince and I have been with Dillon in Delaware for 2 weeks now. Dillon is out here for work selling for the summer. We're staying in a company apartment (which is super nice) in Wilmington. My brother Kyle is here selling too, and is staying in our second bedroom.
You'd think being home with my baby all day with no work or school I'd be swimming in time. False. Very False. I'm amazed how fast the days fly by. Making lunch and dinner for the boys, feeding Vince, cleaning... sounds like nothing but I swear I'm busy all day.
I'm delighted to say Vince slept for 6 hours last night! He usually needs to eat every 3 hours day and night, so to get to go 6 hours... blissful. I've been up with Vince at nights since Dillon is the one working in the days and since I have to feed him anyways, and a few days a week I feel painfully tired. When I was working and going to school full time before Vince was born I thought I knew what tired was... also false. But I sure do love my little man!

Vince and I take long walks most days (when it's not raining or too hot for him) on the miles of boardwalk just a few steps from our apartment. It's so pretty. We also walk to the grocery store a few times a week and bring home our haul in the bottom of the stroller. It's fun.

Since we're so close we took a day trip a 1/2 hour north to Philadelphia last weekend. Our first stop was the legendary Phillie Cheese Steak place Geno's.
We're glad we went for the experience, but we were underwhelmed. In fact I would go so far as to say I didn't like it. The meat was flavorless, the cheese was like plastic, but the onions and bread were good... It was worth going once though.
We were just there before getting Kyle from the airport so we had to rush through the sites (and everything closed as we were getting there, so I'm sure we'll go back to Historic Philadelphia. On our quick visit we did get to see the Liberty Bell and Liberty Hall.

A nice thing about not working or taking classes this summer (aside from having lots of time with my Prince Vince) is I have time to cook! I try to make a good lunch and dinner for Kyle and Dillon everyday. For those of you who don't know Kyle east like a boss. He easily east more than Dillon and I combined. Not sure where he got the metabolism from (or why I didn't get it...) but it's a chore to keep them fed!

Kyle and a group they work with went to NYC this weekend to see Wicked, but we elected to stay in Wilmington. On Saturday we took a family trip to the local zoo. It's super small but it was a beautiful day and we had a blast being out with Vince.

On Sunday we were lucky to be given tickets to the Phillies-Rays game by Dillon's boss. Turns out they were 3rd row seats just above the Phillies dugout across from 1st base! They lost, but we had a great time. Vince stole the show, and he loved the sounds. The louder it got the happier and more interested he got. Too cute!

We're loving our adventure out here! Next weekend we are going to DC with Kyle, and we're excited!
