Hap-PopPop-y Birthday to You!

This weekend, we drove down to Baltimore to celebrate our PopPop. He was having a very big birthday. So big, he got three cakes!

Mema enjoyed celebrating her daddy's birthday.

While being with our great-grandparents was fun, time with cousins was especially wonderful.

On Sunday morning I missed my usual swimming class, so Daisy agreed to help me 'make an arrow' and 'float with big arms.'

Then it was off to brunch at Suburban House to continue PopPop's celebration weekend with bagels and lox.

I wanted to keep with Sunday morning tradition, so I worked with mommy on the crossword.

Speaking of a relaxing Sunday morning, how about some massages?!

Don't we girls look relaxed - thumbs in or, as Aunt Julie says, "assuming the position."

It was also nice to spend some time with Great Uncle Herb, even if he seemed more interested in guy stuff.

We are just as cozy as pigs-in-a-blanket having a matzoh ball. We couldn't have pickled a better family. Speaking of picking, couldn't you come up with some better deli puns? Is my humor too wry or have we gotten carraway-ed?

Bobo fed us our first jell-o ever. It was so yummy and jiggly. Just like you, sis.

PopPop has a spectacular lap. Just the right size for two girls. Yes, I know. I remember when Leah and I were little we fit just right (scroll down a bit)...

We hope PopPop (and BoBo) enjoyed his birthday weekend as much as we did. Can't wait to celebrate more birthdays.

Get the Point?

Lately my fingers have become a very important part of ensuring that I get what I want. In this case, my right pointer is adorned with une framboise, a berry which tastes best when eaten off of one's "digit."


When Josh and Rachel were in town to visit, I also made sure to "point out" the many online wedding planning resources they could "index" (in this case using my left one).

Not-So-Secret Admirers

We are lucky to have so many friends, especially boys. There's nothing like a pre-Valentine's day dinner with a handsome, older gentleman like Ari.


Except the second annual pre-Valentine's day dinner with an adorable classmate like Leo.


Speaking of classmates, you made some beautiful valentines for your friends.


Thank you. Among our friends and admirers from near and far, Samara and her mommy are particularly special. They visited us all the way from Hong Kong and boy are we counting down until they move back!
