"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

One Last Day in Philly

We had one last day in Philly before Dave's graduation. We figure that we'll have no reason to return to Philadelphia, so we made one last stop to our favorite or unseen sites. (I can't figure out how to take off the underlining. Sorry.)
This is my favorite place to get a Philly Cheesesteak. Oh how I'll miss them!!
Dave never made it to the museum where Rocky ran up the steps. I finally showed him the site. You've got to see the video footage of Dave running up the steps and jumping around like a boxer. Classic.
Here's a shot of us at the top of the steps, overlooking the city.
We thought it was funny that this dog was memorialized. Who knows why. I guess we should have read that plaque on the ground.
At the end of the day we attended a dinner and dance hosted by Dave's school. It was pretty fancy. One of those dinners that used all the utensils. Minus my double chin, I think this is a cute picture of us. It was a fun night, especially since I didn't have to cut anyone's food into little pieces and threaten to take away dessert if they didn't eat. I guess that will come later as Dave ages. :)

I want to see more pictures of the fancy-schmancy dinner! Okay, not the actual food, but you two! Got any full-length pictures of the beautiful dress? (The necklace looks great!)

So much to say...Where to start? Please tell me that was not a real dog? Thats kinda disgusting, and yes if you want to know why its there, reading the plaque is always a plus. You're right it is a very good picture, Definitely a keeper, and congrats Dave. I think I may have already said that but if not, there it is, and if I have he deserves it again. Both of you do!!! And hey, lots of people go to college for seven years, I think you can finish that quote Nat.

Very clever Marie. And yes, I can finish that quote... "I know, they're called doctors". :)
