Welcome, Aida!

The little dude is now a big brother! Aida arrived Wednesday, November 20 at 11:45 a.m. She is named after Michael's grandmother Aida and his father, Adel. It's pronounced just like "Ida" (EYE-duh). There have already been LOTS of misspellings and mispronunciations, she'll have to get used to that.

Waiting for Baby G

We are waiting patiently for Baby G (for "Girl" or "Girgis"). She is due today. Simon came a little early, but she seems happy where she is for now. Simon has been crossing off the days on his calendar, he is very excited. He picked out a birthday cake for her, and a present for when she comes home. Maybe she is waiting for Michael's birthday tomorrow...

Happy Halloween!

The lure of candy finally won out against the longstanding dislike of dressing up.
