Family -- The Best Surprise

John received a call late Tuesday night that Aunt Jane and her long-time friend, Drizella, would be making their way to Philadelphia from Florida.  They had just returned from a cruise and were driving back to Connecticut.  We felt privileged that they were willing to take a detour to come see us.

More-than-thoughtful Aunt Jane brought along toys, books, and t-shirts for Oscar, as well as tequila for John, and a beautiful necklace and earrings for me.  Of course, my favorite souvenir was this:

 an Oscar-sized sombrero, all shiny and blue.


After catching up for a bit, we headed down Baltimore to Dock Street for some pizza and more catching up.  


Oscar had fun entertaining Aunt Jane and Drizella.  He clearly thought they were pretty entertaining as well.  John and I also enjoyed this surprise-visit--and we welcome more of them (a friendly hint to all you family out there)!
