Cousins at the beach!

A warmish day + no school for passover + podding with the cousins = trip to the beach!  

Soul filling for me to be near the ocean.  Soul filling for the boys to be with family they don't live with.  

 

Second Seder 2021

After a year of separation, we couldn't feel more lucky to be with Jerald's ENTIRE family.  Everyone had COVID tests in advance to be as safe as possible.  Once inside, after first hugs, everything felt so wonderfully normal.  To see my boys running around with their cousins, was just the best!

Thank you Nana and Aunt Na for all your hard work planning, cooking, and preparing!  The second seder was filled with lively love!!!!

 

First Seder 2021

 

So happy to be celebrating the first seder with Gooma and Pa in person!!!!

Pre-dessert sing-a-long - Passover songs to show tunes.  Definitely a new tradition!  

Gooma & Pa are here!

 It has been 13 months since Gooma and Pa have visited our house.  We were lucky enough to be with them in person in June and August, and Seth was with them in November - but either way - it has been such a looooooong time!  And we were so thrilled to have them vaccinated and visiting inside our houses without masks!!!!

We went on a long walk in cold spring park and Justin found this skull!  

Lots of fun time in the basement!

Lots of cooking for Passover - with the best helpers!!!!

Of course arts & crafts projects straight from the imagination of Justin!

Putting Mom to work signing letters for my job!

Shopping was fun!  3 stores in one morning....

The boys waited outside and barely waited until Gooma and Pa got out of the car!
