Diza and her friends met in Central Park again today.

I Love Greta

Leora and her mom and dad visited Aunt G who is recovering from a fractured tibia in her somewhat toasted apartment. G escaped serious injury after being hit by an SUV, and then returned from the hospital just in time for Uncle Aaron to douse their flaming couch and save their apartment.

4 Months

Diza turned 4 months old last Monday. She also got her American passport in the mail so she's ready to travel to Israel in May! She will have to send her cats to their country vacation house, pictured here on their last vacation.

Anastasija

Diza's sister went back to England this past weekend. It was wonderful Diza got to see so much of her in her first few months of life. We hope she comes to visit soon.

Brooklyn!

Leora went to Brooklyn for the first time on Saturday for an Aries/Taurus party on Aunt G and Uncle Aaron's rooftop. She celebrated the birthdays of Grandma Ellen, Great Aunt Sue, Norman and her Dad, and the upcoming birthdays of Great Uncle Charlie and Uncle Aaron. Also in attendance were her Great Gran, her sister Anastasija, her Grandpa Bob, and her Mom. Diza was also 120 days old on that day! She received a new yellow sun hat from her Grandma, a mobile made by her Great Aunt, and the Crawligator 4! Supersonic!
