The British

On our way to swim lessons yesterday, Houghton informs me he told his teacher that we celebrate Hanukkah. I asked him when did we ever do that? He didn't have an answer. He did say that he learned that those who celebrate Hanukkah are British! After choking down my laugh and trying to be serious (I saw the error in his way); I asked, "British?" He said, "They have British names (those who celebrate Hanukkah). He said also that his teacher didn't think we had a "British" name. I informed Houghton that "British" are the people who are from Britain-a country. I asked, "do you mean 'Yiddish'?" He said yeah, it's a language.....Now that we were on the same page, I did inform him that we celebrate Christmas, not Hanukkah. And I was not about to get into the reasons/differences of the 2 religions....He didn't seem to mind either.

Go Cats!

GO CATS!!

So a few weeks ago now...we were in Tucson for the U of A vs. Cal football game

Houghton and Mary were decked out for it (thanks to Aunt Julia)

It happened to be homecoming weekend and Houghton loved the parade!

Julia and Rene put on a HUGE spread and fed us well!!

They even had satellite TV so we could watch the game

We had tickets to the game but well, it was more fun to tailgate!

Hougton got to play football and futbol and Mary got to crawl around.

She did however finally stand herself up then she didn't know what to do so she crawled!

Happy Halloween

Houghton and Mary had a blast!! Our Neighbors had a little party before we all went trick-or-treating. Houghton wore everyone out...including me! We scoured the neighborhood!! Mary was a trooper...I think because she got to ride in the stroller!
I have since confiscated the candy...at least the good stuff!!
