January Pictures
Kind of Wordless Wednesday, but with, ah, words.... Here is a quick where-we've-been for the month of January in pictures & captions:
Zadie plays piano for a delighted Hannah. Zadie only lives a few blocks away, so, hopefully, Hannah and Gabriel will grow up with tons of music around them. Zadie encouraged me to practice every day when I was younger, but I discarded that advice at the earliest opportunity. Paying for it a bit now. Kids: listen to your parents (by that I mean, my kids).
Gabriel - the 80s are, unfortunately, gone. Looks like he's posing for a skinny-tie album cover, doesn't it? Not that I have a couple of those in my collection.... But here Gabriel is actually getting ready to go to a dinner at synagogue. He, Bubbie, Zadie, Auntie OK, and I attended & had a good time. Of course, Gabriel managed to fall and split part of his lip open after dinner, but what would an outing be without an injury story ;-)
The family gathered a few nights ago in Hannah's room (thanks for the family pic, Uncle K). Hannah is battling pnemonia and strep, so she's back on the ventilator at times. She went several months without, and we think this is just the yes-it's-really-wintertime reminder. With a couple day's antibiotic, she's bouncing back quite quickly (and going a little stir crazy). Looking forward to a clean bill of health soon.
That's the quickish summary. Lots more inbetween, and we'll write more soon.
