Rhi's turn for Philly

Just two short weeks after Benner made his solo endeavor to Philadelphia, roles were reversed and Rhi headed east for her friend Christine's bridal shower. Benner was quite lonesome all by himself, but did manage to be social by going to a BBQ and have some friends over to write.

But back in Philly, Christine's shower was by all accounts a lovely affair enjoyed thoroughly by all in attendance. The food was fantastic, the presents abundant and the hats were fit for Kentucky Derby on Christmas Day. Or something wacky like that.






Yes, these were intended for Christine to wear on the honeymoon. She may look like a petite girl, but she sure packs a lot of junk in her trunk. Ay chi mama!


And later at the Buglione residence, Rhi brings Christine to document a warm embrace. My little Stan is getting married! I'm all verklempt over here.

Rhi stayed with the Papas for the weekend and got to spend some time over at Chamounix House. Nathaniel and Tucker, the two boys, are always hilarious and it has been a blessing to watch in wonder as they grow up over the years. What challenges and pursuits will they take up next? We'll have to wait and see, but for now we'll just hug each other and laugh.


Aw, how incredibly corny. Rhi also had a quick visit with the Walls, including little Edan.....


Hung out with her mom....


And her dad.....


And hung out with Baby Jones!


He is such a delicious little guy. I just want to eat him up!


Rhi also got to see Jen and Rob and our beloved Lozanos too, but failed to document them photographically. We still love you guys, we swear!
