Updated - weekend, breakthrough, and picnic (new)

Hi all,

Ah man, what a weekend.

Saturday was again stellar. Both USC and OSU won, and I was able to show all my tricks to two separate audiences. In the afternoon, Ellen and Ginnie came over for the Ohio State game, and then a bigger crew showed up for the USC game at 5. Among those in attendance: McKenna, Dorian, Nicole, & Larson.

Major breakthrough today ... I called my friend Ezekiel by his name. Adriana told daddy that she was pushing the stroller next to Ezekiel and his nanny when Brando reached out and said "Zeeeke." This means that I now know 4 names: Mama, Bill (should be "daddy"), Ara-ra-a (aka Adrianna) and Ezekiel. Pretty cool.

Updated:
Mommy had a great idea to have a dinner picnic in the park, and I now announcing that I am a Picnic Party Animal.
