Civil disobedience to allow unionization of Yale grad students, along with various hospital and service workers at Yale. Timmy's first activism...and I guess ours too.

One of our favorite East Coast dining options, Friendly's. Timmy likes the ice cream included with his meal.

Timmy's daycare in New Haven, The Children's Cooperative Daycare, had a tag sale (the East Coast equivalent of a garage or yard sale), with Fall crafts too.

Thanksgiving in Rowland Heights.

Chris was missing for our earlier group pictures, so there was a framed portrait with his name in paper on the coffee table in his place. When he get there, he used the name tag just for good measure.
