Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you all had a very happy Turkey Day!!  We did- a nice day of rest amidst the chaos.   We are moving into a new house before Christmas!  So, we have bought a second car(the new house is not near the train station), picked up hundreds of cardboard boxes from friends who've recently moved and begun filling them, not to mention finally dealing with RE-adopting Hannah(it's a long story) and retreating Hannah with meds because an old parasitic friend from Dongguan is revisiting her intestinal tract!  It's been a little hectic.  Everyone is happy for the move, though.  I may have to shop on Christmas Eve this year - unprecedented but necessary, I think.  Enjoy the pix of the holiday.  I may not be posting until the new year, so Merry Christmas too!!

Happy Halloween!

Wow - what a whirlwind weekend!!  The gals had a blast as a "fire devil" and a butterfly - marching in the Cold Spring Halloween Parade, trick-or-treating(Hannah says"trick or treat" clear as a bell because of the resulting candy) and partying with so many friends.  Rob is currently away in sunny Florida working on the "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" tour but returns home this weekend.  We're missing him big time.  Lots of people are now coming to check out our condo but no sale yet.  Looks like 2009 may be the year of the big move.  I'm crossing my fingers that we're in the new house before Hannah turns 3.  My personal favorite part of this year's Halloween was drinking egg creams and eating candy while watching "The Nightmare before Christmas" with Riley on Halloween night.  Enjoy the pix!
