Visiting August, Anand and Connie

We were over at August, Anand, and Connie's place tonight where Anand treated us to a wonderful Indian feast of kababs, briani, okra, and fresh made bread. Here's August trying to teach Dani to dance. Click here for more photos.

Bears vs. Saints

Sadly, the Saints great football season came to an end today. We had a few folks over to watch including Grace and Ryan Galy (who weren't really that into the game!). Click here for more photos.

Feed me please!

I know there's food in here!

Dani is 8 months today!

Here she is in her bedroom getting ready for her swimming class. 

Saints vs. Eagles

We had friends over to watch the Saints/Eagles playoff game. Mikie is a big Eagles fan so one of us was going to be very disappointed with the result. I'm glad it's me who's going to have a happy weekend!

Here's Sylvia and Mike with Dani. Click here for more photos. 

Hannah Visits

Dani's cousin stayed with us last weekend.
 

A Sibling for Dani

Lying Liars Club

Read this interesting op-ed piece by Pat Forde about Nick Saban who just left his job as the Miami Dolphins head coach to be the new football coach at Alabama. Saban had angrily maintained on several occasions he was not interested in the Alabama job hence drawing Forde's ire.

Which makes me wonder what Forde thinks of the president. On November 1, 2006, George Bush said he wanted Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney to remain with him until the end of his presidency. "Both of these men are doing fantastic jobs and I strongly support them", Bush said. A week later, after the mid-term elections, Bush announced Rumsfeld's resignation. Bush's explanation for this deception was he didn't want to "inject a major decision about this war in the final days of a campaign."

I know politicians lie all the time but I'm surprised this brazen example didn't get more press.

Happy New Year!
