Turning One in the Sun

We headed to FL for a family vacation and celebrated Ilana's 1st Birthday, as well! 

While Ilana took her morning naps, Henry, Daddy and Grandpa hit the beach.

 Then came Ilana's first birthday. 

Lots of family memories in the making!

Spring Family Visits

Grandpa came to town to visit. Ilana was clearly thrilled!

 And the weather was perfect for an outdoor play date with the cousins. 

 What a great time!

Thanksgivukkah

We started off this year's once in a lifetime double celebration with our traditional Thanksgiving family get together with the cousins, Aunt Rachel and Grandma Marcy. Gobble, gobble!

  As the week of Hanukkah progressed, we partied with the Pokornys.

 Hank tried his very first latke with his friend, Mira.

 Then, for dessert, Hank and Mira made candy dreidels. Yum!

 Grandpa (formerly Poohpa) came to visit, as well. We celebrated Shabbat together,

and played with toys together, too.

 At the end of the holiday whirlwind, 

we all headed to the Matz Family home for one last day of Hanukkah fun.

What a remarkable and memorable Thanksgivukkah!

A Special Summer Sunday Afternoon

Poohpa and Cindy drove up to our house to spend some time with Hank. 

 Hank loved hanging out with them in the playroom, especially when he got to play catch with Cindy.

Ah, it's easy to soak up the summer sun when you're loved this much!

Sunday with Poohpa

Hank spent this morning playing with Poohpa and Cindy at their house in Berthoud. 

 The highlight of Hank's morning?  Running through the sprinklers!
