Thanksgiving 2008 in Cleveland

I very much enjoyed my first Thanksgiving, especially since we got to spend it in Cleveland with Nanaji, Naniji, Mosaji, Mosiji, Mamaji, and Anya (I'm sure there is an alternative name that I'm supposed to use for Anya, but no one has pushed that one yet). Dad and Amit made a delicious dinner that everyone else seemed to enjoy very much (maybe I'll get to try it next year?). I can't wait to see everyone again soon!

Catching up . . .

Here are some non-Disney, non-Thanksgiving pics from the last few weeks, including shots with Sono, the Bobelians, the Hilberts, and the Wu-Ma Clan of San Francisco!

Sam's Trip to Disney World

I don't really think Max's previous post encapsulates my experience in Disney World. I can't be sure, but I think these people were trying to keep me quiet while they were having the times of their lives. They just kept moving me back and forth between the car seat and the Ergo carrier. Every now and them, Mommy did stop off at a feeding station to top me off, but other than that, they seemed a little unfocused on yours truly. The worst was in restaurants,if god-forbid I woke up during their mealtimes, one of them actually had to hold me to keep me quiet. The did take me on a few rides, but should babies really see pirates shooting canon balls at each other?

Max's Trip to Disney World

Now that Sammy-boy is old enough to travel, we decided to take a trip to Disney World. Everyone seems to think we are a little crazy with comments like, "The kids won't remember the trip," and "When will Sam take a nap?" and "You're crazy!" We might be crazy, but we had a great time!

Obama Wins!

Yesterday was voting day in the United States, and we all went to vote. I don't usually use this space as a political forum, but I will say that my guy won! We went to an election night party and I couldn't believe the celebration at 11:00:01 when every channel announced Barack Obama the winner. Cars were honking. People were dancing in the streets whooping and screaming with joy. Uncle Mat even woke Evan up so he could experience the moment. It was a terrific night that I probably won't remember but for this blog entry.

2 Months!

Max really likes it when we wear similar clothes (in case you haven't noticed). We'll see what I think when I have an opinion. I went to the doctor this week and I'm growing fast-- 11.5 lbs and 24 inches! All is well otherwise . . .

Halloween 2008

We continued our Halloween traditions with our annual Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza (five years running) and trick-or-treating in Tribeca with the Tyndales (three years running). I actually understand Halloween this year, so I really started to get into it. I helped Daddy clean out the pumpkin for carving and I decided what face I wanted on my pumpkin. And get this-- I took the candy while I was trick-or-treating rather than giving it back! Sam on the other hand, didn't seem to get any of it-- he slept through pumpkin carving, he didn't love his costume, and he didn't get any candy! Babies are weird.
