This is late in coming, but we made it to the Pumpkin Festival in Half Moon Bay. We dined on typical HMBPF food – mostly Costco inspired concoctions for a premium. We’re not there for anything more at least one pumpkin inspired food item. This year it was pumpkin mac and cheese for me and Myles. Savannah and Angela had pumpkin ice cream.

Pumpkin mac and cheese was interesting – pumpkin spice with pumpkin seeds. It sounded kind of unappetizing, but it was surprisingly good.

Myles managed to acquire a wax hand. Overall, a good time had by all.

We want to wish you all a propserous 2009!

Here’s Nan’s book report. Stunning!

Sprained Ankle

Myles sprained his ankle on Friday while playing basketball. The sprain’s pretty bad, but otherwise he’s okay. No sports for him for at least a week while it heals.

I changed hosting services and had some problems getting things going, but here it is, the new Solanoy.com!

Nan wanted to go to Fanimecon, a Japanese animation convention in San Jose. Today was the last day, and she had never been to one. I’ve never been to one either. I don’t know how long she had been thinking about her costume, but she ended up doing a really good job! She took bits and pieces of other costumes, as well as modifying her own clothes to assemble what she wore. Tons of people wanted to take her photo, and a number of people wanted to pose with her. Overall, pretty cool for her first time. She’s excited for next year.

For a little girl who thought she couldn’t, she made it happen!
