CWL and Friends (Ethan/Violet) Ready for Some Lawn Mower Racing

As Mike Francesca would say, the weather on Sunday outside of Philly was UN-believable.   You couldn't ask for a nicer day for the Sunday after Thanksgiving.   We got a lot of work done in and around the house, including most of our exterior lumination.

CWL and friends thought it'd be fun to do some lawnmower racing...

North Pole Express

On Sunday, we took a drive to New Hope to visit the North Pole Express to go for a train ride on an old 1920's steam engine, visit with Santa, go to the "North Pole", and sing Christmas Carols and enjoy holiday treats along the way.     CWL loved it -- the train most especially.

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a great Thanksgiving... We kicked the day off with a 515am wakeup call and got ready to head into the Philly Thanksgiving Day Parade.   We picked up Dunkin Donuts, and then went to SZL's parents house to pick up Grandpa, Aunt Kara, and SZL's cousin Kendria and her boyfriend Zach.   We made GREAT time into the city and parked near 20th and Market and then set up camp for the parade on JFK in between 18th and 19th.

The parade was a lot of fun, as the pictures attest (including Stacey getting interviewed for the wonderful hat you can see above), and the great part about being on the early part of the parade is that we were back at SZL's parents house by 1045 to "watch" the end of the parade on TV.   A great afternoon followed, as my parents and Aunt Jenny came down for dinner with the Zagols.   Great food; terrible football; some turkey-induced catnaps; and the 1st (of many I am sure) holiday showing of "A Boyfriend for Christmas" on the big-screen.

SZL @ Week 32 -- Baby #2 is on its way soon!

Some Pics from Aunt Kelley and Uncle Steve's Wedding

SZL's sister got married on Saturday the 14th -- to a great guy (even if he's a Phils/ND fan... not to mention the politics!).   CWL's just thrilled to have Uncle Steve in his life!

Thanks to Tim O for the pics!

Halloween -- October 2009

CWL's Last Nite in His "Baby Room"

Wow -- how can it be time for this already?    Tomorrow nite (Sunday nite), we make the big move across the hall (pics to come).

Here's one last look at the little man, resting comfortably in the old pad.
