HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA!












In honor of Emma's 2nd Birthday I thought we would take a walk down memory lane to see how it all began!





On the way home for the first time. The 1st day we picked up Emma up.

Passover Over 2009

Passover started out with all of the usual traditions. Cooking all day, eating all night. Family, Seder, Manishevitz, biter herbs, matzah, the 4 questions...











and of course the 10 plagues! (Demonstrated by the kids table made up of Jordan and Steve)



























But this year we started a new tradition, and that tradition was called "Catch Phrase."
We yelled, used our hands, jumped around, and did whatever it took, to give clues for our team to guess the chosen "catch phrase," but once they guessed correctly, we had to pass it quickly because you don't want to get caught with the game in your hands when it starts to buzz.


All in all it was a great time and such a treat to be able to celebrate the holidays with part of our family we really never got a chance to celebrate with while living in Florida.

New dog park!









The Berlin's Wall would not be what it is without new pictures of our little Emma! Who, by the way, is not so little anymore. Her 2nd birthday is fast approaching on April 14th. This past weekend we took Emma to a new dog park we discovered and had the whole park to ourselves!
