Posing at the LEGO store. Muscle men!
Two out of three making funny faces.
Food court yumminess.
Our friend Danyul with our boy and his and Rachael's babeleh, who's 18 months. Our kiddos got along quite nicely!

Family in Orlando
Our family stayed with 5 other families in a big house near Disney. And Jonathan rocked it, going to amusement parks every day with the kids without me. I went to Magic Kingdom with them once, but the other days I was up with kiddos at 6am to see them, left for the conference by 9am, and a couple times was home for dinner, a couple times at midnight or later. A fun time was had by all!
Connor the morning after the first day of Biennial. Our three boys shared a room with another boy, and Ari and Xander were oldest so got the top bunks. How exciting!
Benihana's hat boy at Saturday night dinner.
My four loves.
The house crew at Benihana's. Jonathan says that the youngest ate more than his brothers combined.
Breakfast on the very last morning. What were to do with the ice cream and cake? No one could take it home, so we were forced to eat it all, obviously.

URJ Biennial
I went to the Union of Reform Judaism's Biennial for the first time last week, and it was utterly AMAZING. Learning. Inspiration. Music. Old friends. New friends. Dreaming of and shaping the future.
Myself with my friend and colleague Mara
Sitting in the second row listening to Vice President Joe Biden!
With URJ President Rabbi Rick Jacobs and friend and URJ Vice-Chair Jay
With congregants holding our temple Torah, used in Shabbat morning services with 5,000 people.

Our boys with the neighbor kids. Superheroes and minions!
My older boys flipped their masks from the last picture. Connor's just interested in his bucket.
Minion and superhero parents.
People gathered outside our house enthralled by our zombie window projector.

Country Western Extravaganza at temple
Becca, myself and Jonathan in our country get-up
Country rabbi and rebbetzin
Yee-haw for the mechanical bull!
Getting serious and taking off the hat
Cracking up as it gets harder
And... yep. Those are my feet as I fell off. The video got a few hundred views on Facebook in the first hour... crazy!

Words words words
Connor learned to say "no" a few days ago.
It's his new favorite word.
But how cool that he only learned it the month he turns two!
He also knows "app-uh," (apple), "ilk" for milk, which is what he calls yogurt, "aw-wa" for water (agua, go figure, from daycare), and "juice." The best words of all, however, are still "uck," for truck, and "Melmo," for Elmo.
(Edited to add: Family reminded me that the list is incomplete. He also knows how to say all of our names in his own fashion, including "doda" for Odelia and "buh-buh" for Bubby. "Ohn" for phone, "door," and some others too.)
