Happy Holidays



I'm writing this post while listening to Neil Diamond's cover version of "The Hannukah Song" by Adam Sandler. Trippy.

Aaron has been so much fun lately. He was even great while we were driving the seven (!) hours to get to Baba's house for Thanksgiving. He was watching the "Little Einsteins" on the DVD player in the car for the second half of the ride. It's his new favorite show and there are three episodes on each disc. He said, "Mommy, I want the one with the eagle." I turned around and said, "I don't know which one is the eagle." He kind of sighed and said, "It's a bird, mommy. It has wings and flies like this." (wing flapping movements). He seemed so disappointed. It reminded me of the movie "Airplane" when Leslie Neilson says that someone is in the hospital and when the person he's talking to asks, "what is it?", Neilson replies, "A big white building with lots of doctors and nurses, but that's not important right now." Given Neilson's recent death, it seems kind of prescient.

So here is a smattering of pictures from the last two weeks. I tried to upload a video but it isn't cooperating. Enjoy and Happy Chanukah.
