Here's a photo of Aaron and me at the Proposition 8 Protest in Seattle. Aaron made that poster himself. It says "NO 8" and it has a crossed-out letter 8. In the upper-right is a guy shaking his head no.

I know McCain is old, but not that old!

1. Aaron cut his own hair. You can see it up at the middle of his bangs.

2. He also has a lazy eye, so he has an eye patch (pirate style!) to wear for two hours a day, until I gets better.

My mom just called to tell me that both boys were both claiming ownership of the doodle pad, and asked me who it really belonged to.

Just a few minutes later I got a voicemail from Aaron:

	Voicemail You'll Love Share this ...

Apparently, he was able to relinquish ownership of the doodle pad without crying!

If you can't listen to the audio clip, it says "Hi Dad, I solved it without crying. I left a message for you. Love, Aaron"

"It would be easier for a boy and a boy to marry because they could just have a Batman cake. A boy and a girl would have to split the cake, half Batman, half Pocahontas."

1. There are no cars, only flying insect cars.
2. Hot dogs are the same, except they come with robots.
3. There are no animals, except rats, mice, cats, and dogs. No big animals.
4. Everything costs $1 except some things cost $100, but you can get $1 for free from a ... machine [I didn't understand what he said].

So there you have it, the future looks pretty good, unless you're a big animal.

We flipped things around a bit this year and let the boys each hide half of the Afikoman. Aaron hid his under a couch cushion, and Isaac hid his under a table in the office. I think the boys had fun watching all the grownups searching around the house.

When Aaron opened the door for Elijah he said "I see Elijah's car!" While the boys were at the front door, we secretly drank some wine out of Elijah's cup and tried to convince the boys that it was Elijah who drank it, but they were too smart for that.

I commented, "Wow, you put a lot of hot sauce on your taco."

He said, "Yeah, I used to not like hot sauce, but now I love it."

I said, "Looks like your tastes changed."

He replied, "No, my taste didn't change, my love changed."

He said, "Look, a walrus truck!"

He immediately said, "I'm going to buy gum!" to which I replied something like "You can buy whatever you want with the money you save."

I could see the gears turning in his head as he thought for a second, and then he set his sights a little higher: "No, I'm going to buy every toy in the world."
