Monthly Mark: Movember!
If you haven't heard of Movember, but have been wondering why it seems like every man around you is growing weird facial hair, you now have a reason to find out more. Mark is participating in the international charity drive phenomenon (it started in Australia), which is Movember, where men grow moustaches to raise awareness of men's health in general and of prostate cancer specifically.
You can find out more at the Movember Wikipedia page, or the official "Movember World Wide" site.
Mark is doing it alongside other members of his team at work. Mark is staying above the fray of competitiveness (which seems to always happen with these things) by not publicizing it too much, or raising any money. But if you want to give, you can, via Mark's "mobro" site.
And here is the progression. The thing is that you have to start clean shaven on November 1st.
Ada seems OK with it. She doesn't like when he wears hats or glasses, but seems to be OK with facial hair.

First Thanksgiving.
We had Ada's first Thanksgiving today! Since I don't work on Thursdays, and Mark was working from home, we were able to have a pretty close approximation of Thanksgiving at Ada's normal dinner time. Ada had a fever all day, but was a trooper and still seemed to enjoy herself, though she didn't eat as much as she normally might have done.
And then of course we introduced her to the obligatory lying on the couch afterwards!

Daily Ada: 17 November 12
This is Ada's Diwali latern, which she decorated at nursery. It was also her opportunity to check out the regular camera, while I took pictures on my phone.

Daily Ada: 15 November 12
We now have a system for Skype, which involves setting the iPad on a cookbook stand on the dining table and a small table in front of that for Ada to hold onto.
So when things go into place, Ada knows what's coming. But sometimes I set things up before Mimi and Pa are ready, and Ada stands there, waiting patiently for them to "arrive."
