The weather was beautiful here in Maryland this weekend. We enjoyed being outdoors and spending time with family.
We had our Shabbat dinner on Friday night and called Bubie an PopPop to say the blessings with them over the phone. Nathan and Sela proudly receited the blessings for the Sabbath candles, the (pretend) wine and the challah (braided bread). We then watched a movie together as a family in mommy's room before going to sleep.
On Saturday after taking both dogs to the vet to update their vaccines, we went to Aunt Teri's house. Unfortunately, Uncle Jamie was busy and not around, but the kids had a great time with Aunt Teri. She let them help her pick out flowers which will planted in her garden, then Aunt Teri treated us all to lunch. After lunch, Nathan went with Aunt Teri to Uncle Jamie's old house to help paint. He was very excited to strip down to his underwear and paint the walls! Meanwhile, Sela and mommy went to the library. Sela got her first library card, then lost it. But, we did find it and were able to check out books. Later that day, after picking up a paint covered Nathan, we went to Bubie and PopPop's house to eat pizza and watch the USA Woman's National Team Soccer game.
On Sunday, we met Seth, Bret and Becca for brunch in Bethesda to celebrate Seth's birthday. We were only a month late! :) It was wonderful seeing them and the kids loved playing with the guys in the park!
Later Sunday afternoon while the kids napped at Bubie's house, Dad and I set up Sela's new bed. I learned that not only did I use this bed frame as a child, but so did my dad!! Here is Sela's room with her big girl bed:
And, on the bed is a special blanket made with love by Bubie. (Nathan got one for his room too!)
Nathan loves to see the birds and fish when he visits Grandmom.
Here is Grandmom getting ready to blow out her candles:
and a beautiful smile for Nathan's Great Grandmother!
