Lost my whole post; I'll try again. Since I've been home for two days because of Sandy, I thought I'd post a couple of photos and a brief video of the grand kids in Seattle:

In this one, Oliver is riding the lion at the zoo:



In this video, which amazingly his mom took on her iPhone while feeding him, Eli is having his first taste of bananas (keep watching his face--it's worth it). Click on the distorted photo below--don't know why it comes out like this (Karen?), and it will take you to the video, which is not distorted:
