JANUARY: We said goodbye to San Francisco and hello to our new home city...


FEBRUARY: We moved to Philadelphia, into an apartment in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood.

MARCH: John had a business trip to Washington D.C., I tagged along and found these angry protesters in front of the White House - they thought I was with the media.


MARCH: We took the girls to Washington D.C. and explored the Cherry Blossom Festival - good times had by all!

APRIL: I drove to the University of Delaware to attend a symposium by Anderson Cooper. I got my picture taken with him and made a new friend, Ellie Green...she's the coolest!

APRIL: We spent the day with Miss Liberty - she's really nice!


MAY: I volunteered for Philadelphia's Equality Forum and we attended a symposium with San Francisco's Mayor, Gavin Newsom.

MAY: Touring the Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago for the first time was awesome! I'm so glad we made time to see this when we were in town!

JUNE: The Cyndi Lauper concert in Atlantic City was super-duper awesome!

JUNE: We attended the LGBT Pride Parade in NYC and brought the pups along (they were very popular). Pictured are some of the diverse folks we saw in the parade.


JULY: The Slatz family photo on the fourth of July!

JULY: I attended over 10 Cubs game in 2009 - hopefully the new ownership will help the Cubbies in 2010!



AUGUST: Our first Chicago visitor to Philadelphia - Barb came out to see the city's finest attractions - pictured here with the Liberty Bell.

SEPTEMBER: Amsterdam was an amazing get-away - one I will never forget!

SEPTEMBER: I started training to be a docent and volunteer for City of Philadelphia's Mural Arts Program.


SEPTEMBER: We met up with Paul Rudd while walking our dogs and saw Jack Nicholson eating lunch at a cafe down the street from our apartment - they were in town filming a movie.

OCTOBER: Fall foliage in Philadelphia was spectacular!

NOVEMBER: I had the pleasure of getting to know John's family a little better while spending time in Alabama for Thanksgiving.

NOVEMBER: Luke and John pose for a picture - aren't they adorable :)



DECEMBER: Costa Rica was amazing as we went with 14 friends and family. Zip lining, chilling by the pool, coffee tour and some much needed relaxation!

DECEMBER: The whole family was focused on Sarah's adorable reactions to opening gifts, charming dance routines and the youthful games she likes to play!

John and I celebrated our three year anniversary! I'm very thankful for the many blessings our family received this year and look forward to many more wonderful times with family and friends in 2010!
