Baby I's First Thanksgiving

She slept a lot, but not always when she was supposed to. Baby Isabella Louise turned two weeks old and two days later went on her first outing down to the Hotel Ric for Thanksgiving.

Sometimes she slept in the bassinet, so Dad and Mom could get something to eat, but most of the time she hung out in her sling. Even with all the family gathered around for the raucous holiday feast, Baby I. barely made a tiny peep.


This was the first year the Garza family came to Thanksgiving Dinner, because Emilio and Cousin TwoNames FINALLY got engaged. Mr. Garza and Little Bearnik enjoyed several tequila shooters before everything got going.


Carving a turkey is fun. The whole point is to have some left after everybody runs up and steals most of it before it even hits the platter.


Think about this: Cousin Lila, who is in her 70s, believe it or not, was the flower girl in Mummy Plotnik's wedding, in 1936. The two lady cousins are still best of buddies.

Good looking people, don't you think? Cousin TwoNames, The Big E, The Great BZWZ, Plottie and Nefnik.


Another Baby picture? Why not?

Great pictures (good move "volunteering" to cut up the turkey - the person with the knife gets the first and best bits).

And I'm so relieved Baby Isabella has a middle name and that they chose to honor the SF Giant legend Lou Seal.

Finally some pictures! I've been going through withdrawal! The first pix tells me that Baby I is indeed a decendent of Grandma Mildred! More, we want more! FM and PP
