Happy 2009!

It's been a busy year so far, with Leila busy running around like a maniac, learning to play basketball, working on simple words, and then running around like an even bigger maniac.

Avalanche or Roadblock?

For the TMBG fans out there, Leila is not a Snowball in hell, just a cute baby experiencing the lovely Rochester winter weather. Sledding proved to be fun, and prompted her parents to act ridiculous, as you can see:

Happy holidays!

It's been a while since our last update, and Leila's been very busy. Here's a brief summary of her past month:

Buying garlic in action at the Wegman's in the Strong Children's museum. In Rochester, we are REALLY devoted to our local grocery store, and train kids young:



We had 15 people over for Thanksgiving. Leila particularly liked all the cranberry sauces.





Tryptophan!!!



Uncle David and Aunt Lauren!





Distributing rocks as presents at the Highland Park Conservatory:



Mommy and Daddy pretending to be adults for once at a Rochester Amerks game (amazingly, they won!):



Join us tomorrow for the continuation of a neverending series of many, many pictures of snow!

A snowy Thanksgiving. . .

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and hope all of you enjoyed the holiday as well. Rochester had its first significant snow fall this week; snow materializes every time we host Thanksgiving. Today's pics will be posted shortly, but here are some from our recent trip to NJ:

Leila's feeling blue

Well, actually, she helped Mommy and Daddy vote Blue, helping to pull the lever as we voted in a new President (and a new Representative in Congress as well...). Here's a shot of the happy family after Leila's second major act of voter fraud.



Note Leila's sticker:



She voted in the presidential primary as well, in case you were wondering.
