Passover 2010 - Second Seder

Aunt Andi and Uncle Eric hosted about 30 people for the second Seder. There was much chaos and even more wonderful food.

Safta and Bubbie Barbara came up for Passover - and Safta's Birthday!!

It has been a few months since Bubbie has seen Paul, but they fell right back into the reading routine. . .

Self-portrait:

Grandma Shelly and Grandpa Steve came back from FL for the season, and Grandma got to see how much Joss has grown in 6 weeks.

Mmmmmmmwah!

Sleep-Over!!

Cousin Asher slept over on Saturday night. Well, he wore PJs and had his sleeping bag, but there wasn't much sleeping happening - too much playing to do!!

On Saturday, March 27, Paul visited his friend, Tesla. Happy 1st Birthday, Tesla!

Tesla's Daddy taught Paul about something called "centrifugal force."

Paul is a fabulous lion. Grr-roar.

Bubbles! Inside!! Wowie!!!

Passover 2010

We had a lovely Pesach Seder last night. Nearly twenty people! Wonderful family, friends, and food. And we even got through the Hagaddah. Well, mostly.

Aunt Ina, showing off her "boil" mask. Gotta love those plagues!

Our friend Jodi meeting the family.

Paul showing off his "blood" mask.

Bubbie Rose shows the locusts.

Cattle sickness makes Bubbie Barbara very sad. :(

Dancing to Dayenu!

Aunt Phyllis joins the dance.

The whole mishpacha!

Cousins!

Oooo...pretty...

Joss has a lot of women in his life!

Bubbie, Safta, and Joss.

I want to hold him!

Today, Paul decided he wanted to hold his brother, and tried to pick Joss up off of Mommy's lap. Daddy decided it would be best if Paul got to hold the baby in a somewhat more controlled manner. . .

Despite an abrupt increase in the frequency and intensity of his tantrums, Paul is taking rather well to big brotherhood. We are very proud of him, and are amazed that we all survived the week!

Mommy's boys.

Day two. . .

Still liking the baby, 24 whole hours after he invaded, er came home.

Daddy multi-tasks.

Joss' reaction to. . .

. . .what Joss sees.

Kara, Brendan, and Georgia came over to say hello to Joss. Joss was thrilled to meet them; after all, without their help, he would probably have been born in the bathtub!

Cookies!!

Uncle Eric, Jacob, and Asher came by on their way home from a men's weekend in NH to greet the littlest man-Weil.

New Food: "Peeps"

Mmmm. . .sugar. . .
Paul seemed more interested in having the Peeps than in consuming them, but he did manage to leave a trail of bunny heads behind, which is more creepy than it sounds.

First day at home.

Sorry for the delay in blog-posting, but it has been a busy (and sleep deprived) week!

While seeming to really like his new brother, Paul wasted no time before beginning his textbook case of regression. . .

So much for any potty training. . .

Joss didn't seem to bothered by his new environment.

Mike, Reiko, and James came over for a take-out Chinese food dinner, and to get a preview of what their lives will be like come June. . .

Look - twins! Wonder how Joss would look in Baby Bradford's clothes?
