A visit from grandpa

Grandpa Bill came by for a visit over the weekend, bearing lox and mini bagels. The latter proved perfect for Thalia to teethe on, and Dr. Bill pronounced our drooly delight ready to bust her lower incisors any moment now. Not that she needs them to eat rice or barley cereal, but hey, they'll be fun to chew fingers with.

Much baby-flipping ensued. For your viewing pleasure:









Bryan is doing flipping duty. I've been busy getting started on my book. Yes! I'm thrilled to tell you that I have a deal with Bloomsbury USA for "Our Lot: How Real Estate Came to Own Us." You'll be hearing lots more about it.

Here's what Thalia wants to tell you: "Ahohooohahowowahaaathwwwhwwwhwwwthww."



Alas, we neglected to take a picture of Bill. Take our word for it, he's looking great. Thank you for the awesome photos, Bill! Thalia was glad you came (ditto from me and Bryan).

At last: the long-in-demand Katz Swirsky family portrait. Enjoy.
