Caribbean Blue

We took our first triple family vacation with the Saint-Sauveurs and Kendalls. Hopefully, the beginning of a tradition for many years to come!

Max Turns 4!

I am very lucky this year-- I got to have two parties to celebrate my 4th birthday! We celebrated on my actual birthday with the 4039 crew at the Hilberts house in Michigan and then celebrated with my friends at my party in NYC. In NYC, my music teacher Nikolai performed, and my friends Alexandre, Zabelle, Evan, Olivia, Madeleine (Olivia's sister) Chloe, Lola, Jake, Rainer, Marit, Sophie (Marit's sister), Sarina, Maya (Sarina's sister), Fasil, Ben, and Grace (Ben's sister) all danced away the afternoon. The party was touch-and-go for a minute when Mom and Dad served watermelon rather than pizza, but they recovered fairly quickly when they served the cake. We followed up the kids party with a dinner with some of our closest NYC friends-- the Bobelians, the Goh/Saint-Sauveurs, and the Kendalls. Dad's macaroni and cheese was a big hit as usual.

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.
