Three Outtakes from the Xmas Card Photo Sessions

A Serious Character

On Wednesday, I said goodbye to Dad's dad and mom (aka Frank and Sylvia) for real. I am happy to report that both the grandparents and the Jubelale arrived intact in Pittsfield, Mass. I shall miss Grandpa Frank holding me for hours and taking me for stroller rides each day, and I wish Granny Syl well with her sudoku puzzles.

On Thursday, Mom took Dad and me to see Mr. and Mrs. Claus at the supermarket. Mr. Claus had an artificial white beard and a genuine big red nose; Mrs. Claus wore very strange eyeglasses. Lots of styles are cyclical, Dad explained, but we won't be seeing the likes of those again. Although Jimi Hendrix (the greatest lefty of all time, Dad said) was wrong about surf music.

Thanks for visiting, Grandpa Frank, Granny Syl, and Gaga (aka as Mom's mom)!

Happy (2 Month) B-Day to Me

Today I am two months old. Last night the three generations of us Jakubowicz men had our photo taken, and then I said goodbye to Dad's dad and mom (aka Frank and Sylvia) who were going back to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, today, with their Jubelale in their suitcase and songs in their hearts - but their flight was canceled. So here they are with us again, and I will say goodbye to them once more tonight. Dad explained what I now see to be true - goodbye does not mean forever. He said he got that from a greeting card.

A Day in the Life

Running into Sarah

At the aforementioned birthday party for Jenny and Sharon, who did I run into? My friend Sarah - who denied being dressed for a SCA party later in the evening.

Good Night, Grandpa Frank!

While telling me stories about his being a tank driver in the army, Grandpa Frank and I fell asleep.

Happy B-day, Sharon and Jenny!

Last night I went to a birthday party for Sharon (holding me here) and Jenny. They had cake, and I had milk. Diane, seated left, was kind enough to let me spit up on her later. Thanks, Diane! Happy B-day, Sharon and Jenny!
