I'm Going to Eat You Up!

We're warming up for halloween and great white shark Jonas is eating people this morning (sometimes he prefers to eat only plants). Certainly we are getting our $16 worth out of this halloween costume!

Anytime is Bath Time

Typically blow-outs (a.k.a. Code Brown, Two-Parent Change) are a thing of less than 4 month old babies. We have no idea why at 7 months Caleb seems to go through two or three outfits a day. Yes, we have tried larger diapers, eliminating prunes, it just seems our man cannot be contained by a pamper, onesy or pants for that matter necessitating a mid-day bath.

We've Lost Our Poppy-A

Sadly last week Michael's grandfather (Andy's dad) passed away. He was a lovely man and Lisa and Michael made some beautiful remarks at his funeral. We spent the weekend with family in Philadelphia where the weather was appropriately somber to match our mood.

This photo is from my nephew Luke's bris in December of 2006.

Fallingwater

Grandma Kimmy is in town and we visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater in Bear Run, PA. It's an hour an half from Pittsburgh and well worth the trip. We were both really impressed and it was especially fun to see the home's furnishings and learn a bit more about the commissioning family: the Kaufmanns.

You Wash My Back, I'll Wash Yours

Grandpa Yosh Visits Pittsburgh

Grandpa Yosh came out from Seattle to spend some time with his kids (big and little). He also got to catch up with a friend from high school, Steve, who moved out to Pittsburgh almost 20 years ago. Lucky for us Steve's daughter is now our favorite babysitter!

Beyond catching up with everyone, dad got to attend a traditional Yom Kippur break fast at our friends' home, see the t-rex'es at the Carnegie Museum (he was more interested in the foliage choices in the display than the actual fossils) and some modern art.

We did our best to keep dad in familiar surroundings: low-sugar diet, rigorous daily workouts and customary weather pattern of a cloudy skies, a constant drizzle with an occasional afternoon sunbreak.

It's a Wrap

Jonas used to just have rice and beans on a plate. But now he wants a full-sized buritto like his dad. Hold the guacamole please.
