Family Reunion - Medina NY

All smiles so far.. the journey with two kids back to NY on an airplane is about as fun as a root canal, fingernails on a chalkboard and an IRS audit all rolled into one. You won't see any pictures at the end of this flight - The FAA confiscated all of our belongings, including the kids (whom they promptly returned once they experienced the tantrums!)

Cousins Alex and Nico













The conversation went something like this:
Kate: "No no, Nico, in the lexicon of the political class, the word "sacrifice" means that the citizens are supposed to mail even more of their income to Washington so that the political class will not have to sacrifice the pleasure of spending it."
Nicolas: "Kate! You're so off base. What’s going on in the markets isn’t an irrational panic. It’s a wholly rational panic, because there’s a lot of bad debt out there, and you don’t know how much of that bad debt is held by the guy who wants to borrow your money.

We were all at the outdoor mall near our house when we saw this bulldog playing in the fountain.

Amy bought a workout DVD and it looks like it will keep Kate occupied long enough for us to run some errands..........just kidding.
