Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving brought Ted a family hike in Tilden Park, and some chilling in the courtyard with his friends Stephen and Sam.

Early November

Here, Ted is being attacked by a caterpillar, then chilling with his Mom and Claire, and finally out with Amy, Andrew and Tommy Claire at Lands End in front of the Pacific Ocean.

Wonderful Babysitters

Here is Ted with the babysitters he loves so much: Molly and Melissa, the reasons we are Cal fans, and Midi (visiting the US from Kenya).

Enuma

Ted is enjoying his visit with Auntie Enuma!

LA 2006

Ted made his first trip to LA: visiting his Uncle Chris and Aunt Liezel: 34 weeks pregnant! He spent some times pensively by the pool, then when he got back he watched Mom study.

Halloween 2006

Here is Ted at the pumpkin patch with his cousins, in his bee costume, and with his friends visiting from NYC: the Walte-wickis.

Napa October 2006

Ted got a visit from his Williamson grandparents. He was very excited. Then we all went up to Napa and had a great time. When we got back, we got to work on the sleep thing.....

We went to Nashville last weekend, where little Ted got baptized, and his parents baptized big Ted to the rockabilly sounds of Nashville: Brazilbilly at Robert's. Here are his godparents in front of Robert's.

Well, there is the Berkeley parade: artcars, solar-powered skateboards, Berkeley's pink unicycle man and the two Teds in full effect!!

Sunday is the Berkeley parade, which we are hoping to make. Everyone dresses up as "Berkeley as you can be." On that note, I saw the most Berkeley character the other day on the way to work. He was on a Segway Human Transporter, which is fairly Berkeley in and of itself. But add to that the polo mallet he was holding. Yes, he was heading to his morning Segway HT polo match. Now that is Berkeley.

Here is Ted busting his Cali moves with his new Vans, pictures from Mary Jane's visit and our trip to the chilly Northern California coast.

Out in California, Little Ted got to meet big Ted. We also got some visits from the Williamsons - first we had three generations of EDWs, then Kathe and Bess, and then Lis and I headed to the Berkeley Farmer's Market - we are locals now!

Ted had two seats on the plane and was met by his two cousins Emma and Grace Hinckley when he got to the Oakland airport.

Ted had a great couple of weeks in Nashville with family and friends... and then it was off to California for his next stint.

And it was a quick 10 hours later that we all arrived safely in Nashville.

It wasn't long before we packed up the car in Durham and hit the road.

Here is Ted's blog, starting with a run through the first couple of months. Here he is fresh into this cold, bright world.
