Asian notes

This morning when the kids woke up, there was a note from Albert taped to the microwave.

Daniel wrote a reply when he came back from school.

We had a wonderfully relaxing Thanksgiving today, mostly staying home and resting and hanging out together. Timmy was over for a while and then he went home for dinner.

Son and sidekick bake a cake

Tonight Daniel and his friend Timmy had to go to a tech meeting that was a dessert potluck. Daniel decided to bake a pumpkin-carrot cake.
