As I (Gabe) write this, I am embarking on a new, if short-lived career: stay-at-home papa. I wrapped up my last day of work yesterday, which consisted mostly of clearing off my desk and discovering various unwashed dishes hidden around my cubicle. I'll be on leave until a few days after New Years. During that time, Ash will head back to work 3 days a week. That means we'll have the other 4 together as a family unit. Huzzah! We're really lucky to have these few months all together, and I'm so grateful to get some uninterrupted father-son bonding time.
Meanwhile, we've been taking in the unbelievable events of this week. As journalists, Ash and I are bound to keep our political views to ourselves. But suffice to say we remain awestruck and humbled by this transformed world our child will be growing up in. We hope it will be full of opportunities for him to grow and succeed.
Ezra is gradually becoming a verbal little lad. We've taken the liberty of producing this slideshow so you can share in his vocalizations:
So for now we intend to enjoy some domestic time. Aunt Nicky will join us this weekend to meet Ezra and take in some Chicago sights. Then before we know it, it will be time to head to Canton for the annual Thanksgiving pilgrimage. There is very, very much to be thankful for.
Much love,
Gabe, Ash and Ez

Indeed, we proved that yes we could. Lots to be thankful for as we get to raise our munchkins in the new era to come!
Rock on, little Ezra!
I love the vocalizing! Liliana liked it to- listened to it while nursing and when she heard baby sounds she stopped, opened her eyes and listened very attentively. Then I started laughing when Ashley started cracking up on the recording...thanks for the entertainment!
