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.
