We always have fun when Grandma and Pop-pop come to visit!

We took them with us to Tot Shabbat,

and then headed back to the hotel pool for a swim!

Sophie and Noah were two funny little fish!

We had an early birthday celebration for Sophie, with kosher le pesach cupcakes

Blow out the candle Soph!

Yum!!

Mommy and her munchkins ar the Broad Holiday Party!

fun with dad and mom

trying on our fancy clothes for Jason and Alyssa's wedding

gimme that sandwich!

We had a fun day at the Aquarium
(thanks Friends of the Medford Library for the passes!)

The best part was the tide pool, where we played
with hermit crabs, starfish, sea urchins, snails, and a horseshoe crab!

Sophie slept through this part (look on my back!), but she really enjoyed the visit too!

happy girl(s)!

fun, fun, fun

Noah is a budding photographer - he grabs the camera any chance he gets.
His favorite subject is his little sister - unfortunately, she often moves too fast for him to capture (see the left corner below)

It was great to meet our new friend Arlo, and get together with his parents,
Tina and Mark, and Jason and Alyssa, and the Walsh clan - lots of fun!

hey, this isn't new york... who are all these kids?

Jason looks somewhat skeptical...

Noah practicing his photography skills - more to come of those...

Noah and Ezra practice their big-brother skills with Sophie

it's tough work getting all ready to play in the snow!
Mommy has snow pants just like mine!
finally! ready to head out there!

wow, the whole world is white!

we were going to make a snowman, but it was too powdery.
so we went to work cleaning off the cars instead.

when we finished Daddy's car, Noah even went to work on our neighbor's car!

no caption needed, really...

Apple Picking!
We had a fabulous time with our friends the Walshes and the Wymans.
