Hi babes,
 
This was a historical week -- we began using the fireplace, Mommy and Dada finagled flu shots (to protect you both from getting the flu), and the country survived quite the contentious presidential election.  Mommy and Dada cancelled each other at the polls, with one parent (who will remain nameless) semi-satisfied with the outcome and the other in a state of frustration.  The Maine Senate and House appear to have stayed in the hands of the D party and the Prop 13-like referendum called Measure 1 did not pass.  

Elly, the RN, was here for heelsticks and you both are huge!  Grace, you are 10lbs, 9.5oz -- yea.  And William, you continue to be a big boy at 12lb, 6.5oz. In fact, you are sleeping much better, William, and Grace has taken over as the difficult sleeper.  You both have little rolls of baby fat on your legs!  Next week, you get your next RSV shots.

We enjoyed yummy fish chowder this week from Carolyn B, a colleague of your Mommy.  And we had oyster crackers and blueberry pie -- what a treat!  We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful friend and excellent cook too!  Mommy remembers eating oyster crackers by the handfuls as a kid at her Nana's house near the airport in Fresno.  

Dada is going to NYC next week so Mommy has been scurrying around to find evening/overnight help -- and thank goodness for our friends.  Ivy, Melodie and Julianne will be working with Mommy, having slumber parties (and with little sleep)!  Katherine has agreed to work five days and longer days, which is a huge help.  And Dada will hopefully bring Mommy something special from the Big Apple.  

Mommy enjoyed her birthday this week -- you both were excellent babes on her special day!  

We love you very much,

Dada and Mommy
