Our Family is Finally Complete - Meet Alana Vered

Friday, June 27, 2014, 11:01AM  

Alana Vered decided to enter the world 12 days before her due date of July 9th. 

  She weighed 8 lb 10oz and was 21 inches long. 

Her weight and length were exactly the same as her big brother, Hank, when he was born! 

She was a snuggler right from the start. Here she is with Daddy.

Of course, she got lots of snuggle time with Mommy, too. Here's a selfie taken in the hospital.

Hank loves being a big brother.

 The hospital even gave him a sibling party, complete with a cupcake covered in sprinkles. 

 Big brothers rule!

 What a special, miraculous first day of life for Alana. In fact, it ended with a double rainbow.

 No better way to enter the world. Happy Birthday, our little Alana! 

Plowing Into Summer

4 Wheeling is for every season, 

even when it's just up and down the street with the winter plow still attached. 

Hank and Daddy were in heaven!

Camping with our Young Family Chavurah

This was our second summer to go camping with our congregation's 

Young Family Chavurah at Chatfield State Park. 

Some of the highlights included: catching bubbles with just your tongue,

 going on a scavenger hunt with friends,

roasting marshmallows,

 eating smores,

 singing with Rabbi Jamie around the campfire,

and staying up way past bedtime.

 What an incredible family of friends!
