Granpa Lou and Grandma Elaine

Sorry for the delay, but we're catching up here at It's a Peanut, and finally posting some pictures from Grandpa Lou and Grandma Elaine's visit. The former enjoyed singing with Leila, who sometimes decided to harmonize along:



while the latter tried a calmer approach:



Needless to say, a good time was had by all:



Coming up soon: more photos, and some great new videos too...

It's a photoshoot

One of the benefits of having a professional photographer for a grandparent is free chances to model. Luckily, a documentary crew was on hand to capture the experience:



Here's the whole family, through the magic of a tripod and a 10-second shutter delay:



and here's the lady of the hour:

L'Shanah Tovah!

Happy New Year to everyone, and may it be a year of happiness, health, and some much needed peace for everyone. Leila's first New Year has been a blast, and she's really enjoying spending time with Grandma Gail and Grandpa Bill, who have been allowing us to sleep occasionally and all sorts of other useful things (they even put her down every now and again and let us hold her...). We even had her first iChat with her mom's family, so she could meet everyone from her great-grandparents Papa and Mimi Cohen on down to Great-aunt Suzie and Great-uncle Ken, Aunt Lauren and Uncle David, and Uncle Jason (we're going to be slightly less than technical with exact genealogical relations). If anyone else wants to have a chat, either text or video, just let me know and I'll set it up.

We'll have some more videos tomorrow, but for now, Leila's first Rosh Hashanah:
