Thanksgiving 2009

After doing Thanksgiving the wrong way (alone) our first couple years in New York, we discovered the joys of sharing in the hard work and fun with good friends. Thanks Roddy's and gang, it was a blast.

Hay There

All I can say is, my sister Lena and I got the short end of the stick. Tonight on CBS's Amazing Race, teams revisited the same place Lena and I were eliminated. The hay fields in Stockholm. Lena was out there for 10 hours with no break plus we had ticks all over our bodies, but were still eliminated. Tonight however, not one team was there for more than a couple hours, none worked nearly as hard without complaining like Lena did AND the last team didn't get eliminated! NOT FAIR! It's still a sore spot for me today, she just worked so hard and we were doing so well. OUCH!

Talking on the cell

They say kids learn by example. Cy must have learned his phone skills from Mike, who tends to be a bit loud and very commanding. He's actually talking to Madi on the phone in this footage.

Just Another Day

Part of Cy's day typically includes picking a beat on his sister's keyboard and dancing. Today he integrated the harmonica and a cool hat he was "feeling".
