Lonan's First Thanksgiving

It was quite a week -- fun and bittersweet.

Doug's father died the Saturday before Thanksgiving after many years of poor health. Doug flew to Pittsburgh Sunday and came home Thanksgiving day. It was doubly nice to have Tim & Saffa here while he was gone for company and help with the baby!

Wednesday night Other Dennis had us over for dinner and we got the meet his family, in town for the holiday from Chicago. They made a delish Greek meal and gave Lonan beautiful jacket.


Daddy arrived home Thanksgiving around noon and we went to Michael and Brad's house for dinner.


Michael's mother Sandy was quit smitten with Lonan, who enjoyed a nice box of foil.

Kristen and Morton and their family were there. Lonan and Axel are already buds.


Friday night the Saffa's parents hosted a dinner in honor of her 40th birthday and her sister Lisa's 50th birthday. Chad came over to watch Lonan - only the second time we've ever left him with a sitter. Needless to say everyone survived.

Saturday - shopping in Union Square.

We met up with Chad and Brad.

Saturday night our friend David got to met Lonan for the first time.

Sunday was Tim & Saffa's baby shower at her cousin's house in Petaluma. Poppa failed to get a decent picture, but here are Tim, Daddy and Lonan enjoying a nice fall day in the backyard.

Sunday night we were up to our ears in laundry.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Saffa and Tim are here - yay!

We're thankful for our family and friends and our little dog too.

Weekend so Far

Saturday morning playtime.

Out to dinner Friday night.

A few random shots from the last couple of weeks. Lonan has just about outgrown the insert he sleeps in, inside his crib.

He's very much about sitting up these days.. to the extent he can.

Cousin Chelsea on bathing duty.

What is it, Reed?

A baby!

Julien reading to Lonan.. to the extent he can.

Everyone scattered all higgledy-piggledy. God knows where the baby's sock is. Larrabee?

Russian River Weekend

We rented a house up at the Russian River this weekend.

Scott was there...


and Gray and Reed...

and Larrabee too.

On the way home we stopped for oysters on Tomales Bay.

Visiting daddy's office.

Long Day

Took the ferry to Tiburon for lunch -- then came back to the city and met met Daddy for dinner. Reed and Lonan held up like real troopers. Tomorrow we all head up to Russian River for the weekend.

Out and about with poppa and the godfathers.

Baby Dunking

Lonan was baptized Sunday at Grace Cathedral.

Everyone flew in Friday night and got to spend some time with little man.

Saturday morning we went to the farmers market at the Ferry Building...

and picked up stuff for dinner.

Godmother Saffa flew in from Seattle. That's her mother, Barbara, holding Lonan.

Lonan's other Godmother, Cynthia, flew up from LA. That's her son Julien, who clearly knows a thing or two about feeding babies (he has a younger sister).

Scott and Gray, longtime friends from Atlanta, are the godfathers.

Us with my mother and niece Chelsea.

After church we all went to brunch.

Doug and the Godmothers.

Lonan's SF uncles: Dennis, Chad & Ryan.
