Dooleys Gone Child: Sebastian's first Thanksgiving

Ah... so I am starting this entry, AGAIN. I had one of those episodes where the text is accidentally deleted after considerable time spent typing. So annoying!

Anyway... Sebastian officially survived his first Foon Thanksgiving and I do mean, survived. This year will go down in Feldman Thanksgiving history as the year of the stomach flu. The Poobah's brother, Mr. Uncle Barry, and his wife, D.H., came to visit us from Brazil. They arrived on Monday night with what they thought was food poisoning. Needless to say, it wasn't food poisoning. By Friday, Julian, Bob, and both of my parents were extremely sick. Matt and I felt weak and feverish for several days but managed to avoid further illness. Fortunately, Sebastian came out of the week completely healthy. We are very thankful that he continues to be his usual delightful self.

Illness aside, it was great to see everyone. Julian held Sebastian for about 60 seconds right before heading back to London but he still put in baby time. Friends Sarah, Erica, Eric, and Echo came for the festivities (fortunately, they all remained healthy as well). We took our annual t-shirt picture (see below). The movie of the year was RED. I can't say that I want to see the movie but the shirts contributed to Sebastian's first year of tradition.

We hope that everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving. We also hope that no one else got the stomach flu! We are heading back to Boston, begrudgingly, on Sunday. Oregon has been great and we are sad to go!
