NJ trip

A couple weekends ago we went to New Jersey to visit Nitsan and family. Saturday was a spectacularly gorgeous day but the kids were happy to play together all day so even though the adults would have preferred an outing, we mostly stayed in and hung out. Three of us did get out for an IKEA excursion, which was fabulous, while Nimrod stayed home caring for six children by himself. Hooray to everyone on that one. Sunday before we left we took a great hike through a state park and then had lunch in the picturesque town of Piermont in NY. Moms are not pictured in any of these photos, unfortunately.

A beautiful country club pool visible from our hike.

Second apple picking of the year

My good friend Stacey was visiting from San Francisco and met up with me and Reed and our good friend Tara at a huge commercial apple picking operation near our house. We don't usually go there because it's so crowded and big but we had fun and it was great to catch up with the old domestic violence legal team from Hiscock Legal Aid. When we started we had no kids yet but now we have eight between the three of us!

Last gasp lake weekend

We snuck in one last great weather weekend at the lake, complete with board game playing on the deck and boating and even swimming.

Jeff runs a race

A few weeks ago Jeff participated in a road race in our neighborhood. It was a beautiful day and he got a great time! He also had five dedicated cheerleaders (Kathy was visiting that day).

 A few weeks ago Jeff and I went to a political fundraiser. I rented a dress for the occasion, and Theo and Reed joined me in trying it on and posing for pictures.
