Congrats to the champs

We have lots of friends and relatives who are fans of a certain National League team that won the World Series a couple of days ago. Robert has a special message of congratulations for them.

Robert wore this Phillies shirt to school today, and I reminded him that if anyone asked, we are not Phillies fans, but he has cousins who are and that his mom is from Philadelphia.

She's there right now, in fact, though she did not hit the parade.

I don't think Robert said anything nearly as interesting as Chase Utley did or as clueless as Sarah Palin.

In Obama nation

Musings of Elizabeth while watching the World Series:

"If Obama loses, can we move to Holland? It sounds appealing!

"Can we move to Europe?

"Can we move to Canada?"

Hey, she said it. I didn't!

Of course, Elizabeth is accustomed to election uncertainty. In 2000, when the networks originally called Florida for Al Gore, we told her that he was going to be the next president. At not quite age 3, she was already disillusioned.
