Lazarus Summer Vacation 2008
Friends and family,
What a fun summer for the Laz clan! A weekend getaway to Chicago, a family reunion in Hawaii, a trip to NY for a wedding, barbecues, the beach and, oh yeah, a new baby! It has been quite the summer and we wanted to share some pix with you now that the summer is “officially” over. The photos, as usual, are mostly of Logan because Emily never wants to be on film (I think she’s in the mafia!), I’m just plain ugly and Sawyer’s only been around a few weeks. Logan’s the ham anyway! So enjoy these photos of the Lazarus Summer Vacation 2008 – and what a summer it was!
Here are the photos:
Logan and his daddy horsing around in the NY summer sun! (Note: two seconds after this photo was taken Logan violently elbowed me in the groin so hard that I thought I would never smile again.)
Logan, the art-IST, painting with his nana. He got more paint on his arms than on the paper and looked like a smurf when he was done, but what fun it was. I think Picasso got started the same way…by standing on a chair in his diaper throwing paint all over himself and the canvas. This was the start of Logan’s “Blue Period.”
Ahoy paloy! This is one of my favorite pictures ever of Logan! I love it. Taken on our friends’ (the Philbins) boat in Chicago, Logan looks like a model in a J. Crew ad - complete with polo hat, madras shorts and topsider shoes. After this photo was taken Logan checked his stock portfolio, played tennis with Muffy Vandersnoot, met an old Yale friend for brunch and went to a chic gallery opening in Cape Cod. Very cosmopolitan!
Photo two taken from the deck of the Philbins’ boat on the Chicago River – right after Logan’s croquet match with a Senator and a wine tasting with his Nantucket cronies. Nothing funny about the photo really but I do wish I wasn’t wearing a shirt that said “Kill All the Golfers” when I run a golf business and then decide to forward that photo to hundreds of people.
Logan getting ready for the Tour De Chicago. It was his first time ever on a bike and my first time riding one in years. After 1 mile I was out of breath and thought I was going to pass away, my pant leg got all dirty from “bike chain grease” and Logan almost threw up four times from the bouncing. But man did we have a blast riding through the parks, zoo and paths of Chicago! My kind of town!
Logan and Daddy on the 50th go-round of the helicopter ride at a theme park in Long Island. Suggested maximum weight of the old squeaky ride? 150 pounds. What does daddy weigh? A lot more than that. But look at the smile on Logan’s face? The shrieks and groans from the strained, failing motor weren’t loud enough to drown out his squeals of delight! Weeeeeeeeee!
This is what happens to Logan when he doesn’t finish his broccoli. Barbaric perhaps, but the boy needs his roughage. Besides, a little corporal punishment never hurt anyone.
Big guy and little guy. Guess who’s who? (Give up? I’m the big guy.) Yes, as a dad you wear funny looking shirts if it makes your kid happy. He called me “big guy” all day and that was worth the humiliation of the people staring at me at the mall. Come to think of it, maybe they weren’t staring at me because of the shirt but because I wasn’t wearing any pants! Ohhhhhhhh!
Logan “Small Blind” Lazarus perfecting his poker skills at an underground $1,000 buy-in no-limit toddler game in the back of a Tucson speakeasy. He won the under 3 years old division and now has a spot at the World Series of Poker this fall. Check him out at PokerBabies.net
Mommy and Gilligan, I mean Logan, in the pool aboard the ship “Pride of America” in Hawaii. Followed by Logan and I building a sand castle in Maui. I know what you’re thinking, but no, that’s not a beached manatee…that’s me!
Logan figuring out the life jacket during the ship’s drill. Logan still wanted to wear his hours after the drill was over and refused to take it off. Either he’s a really cautious kid, he loves bright orange or he just likes the way smelly reflective vinyl makes him feel inside? Whatever his reasoning it was cute as hell.
White night on board the Hawaiian cruise. Everyone wears white. Good idea right? WRONG! It was also pasta with marinara night at the restaurant we went to and when you’re sitting next to a messy 2 year old who wipes his hands and face on daddy, it sucks. It should’ve been called “white with red sauce stains all over” night. That would have been more accurate.
Luau night in Kauai! We all got dressed up in our finest island clothes and watched half-naked women shake their hips while half-naked dudes spun sticks on fire just inches from their relatively exposed genitalia. All while eating a pig. Logan thought it was the greatest thing he’s ever seen…and he’s seen The Wiggles live!
Our island boy! Man, Logan LOVED Hawaii. (Who wouldn’t?) He said aloha to anyone that would listen, loved the beach and the sun and didn’t even mind the 9 hour flight there! What a trooper. He sat through tours and long car rides and lengthy meals and never complained once. He never whined. He complains so little that sometimes we’re convinced he’s not really Jewish.
Logan and his mommy. Nothing funny here, just a good photo of two of my favorite people ever (not including Brett Favre and the guy who invented air-conditioning.)
And the last (and greatest) highlight of Summer 2008? Welcoming another beautiful baby boy - Sawyer! He cries a lot, doesn’t sleep at all and is making mommy and daddy crazy. But Logan loves him more than we could ever have imagined (for now) and that makes this past summer the best one ever.

We hope your summer was a ton of fun too! Stay tuned for more family updates from the Lazari clan including bath time hijinks, first day of school follies, fun with friends and photos of Logan wearing white after Labor Day. Love you all and have a great start to the fall!

Lazarus family, early summer 2008. Before baby #2…back when sleep meant 7 hours in a row every night, showers were daily and smiles were natural and not forced. Or as I like to call them, the good ol’ days of summer!
