Thanksgiving 2009

With our real Thanksgiving postponed a day due to illness (feel better C) we did the best we could to have a great family dinner tonight and we scored big. CHINESE FOOD! The kids plowed through some egg drop soup and fortune cookies. Moses curiously announced with a smile, "There's some paper in my cracker!" Here we are. Having fun! Now we're listening to Alice's restaurant and getting ready for bed. And we still get to have turkey and extended family and friends tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving! This year we are extra thankful for our wonderful family of four (+Dewey) and our strong improvisational skills--and the open Chinese restaurant down the street, of course.

Baby Maeve!


We were lucky enough to be visited by our new friend Baby Maeve today. We're all quite smitten with her (and her lovely family!). Moses enjoyed comparing his feet to hers "Moses is BIG! Baby Maeve is YITTLE!"), E and K both got some good snuggles and smiles, and Zach proved that he can still shush a newborn to sleep while watching football.


Barista For Hire


Will scoop your coffee with great enthusiasm, even well before dawn... and looks wicked cute in footie pajamas.


Ella's First Sleepover


Our almost-five-year-old had her first sleepover last week! She would not violate the sleepover cone of silence ("I really would rather not tell you about it, mama"), but Aunt Sharon reports that she and cousins swapped pajamas and all slept on the floor together. Thanks, C and E!

Ella the CareBear and Moses as Dewey (look familiar?)
