The feast included lobster this year, because lobster prices are at historic lows and the lobstermen and women are struggling. There was a statewide campaign to promote lobster on the Thanksgiving table to give lobster prices a little bump. I'm not sure if it worked (I bought these little crustaceans for $2.75 a lb!!), but I know lots of other folks who did this too. Hopefully our collective efforts increased the price a bit. Besides the lobster we had a small (10lb) turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, olive bread, roasted squash, and salad. Dessert was pumpkin pie - of course.
Alden's started making this face when he's done eating. He does this while snorting through his nose, like some sort of triggerfish with a head cold. We welcome this behavior - it's much more informative than vomiting!
Alden has been touchy around Sandy, Joseph and Geoff. He won't let them hold him and clings to Karen most evenings. This stranger anxiety is sad, especially when all these loving people traveled so far to see him. We've been working on acclimating him to everyone, so I'm sure that he'll start warming up to everyone on Sunday, when they leave.
Napping before the big dinner.

Alden is starting to look more like a kid than a baby!
"trigger fish with a head cold" is a good way to describe it. Ronin has been doing this as well.
