A good excuse


Things have been quite hectic these past few weeks, with school ending, Joshua’s graduation from 6th grade, Shavuot, and many activities with the children. But lest you think I am confined to quarters recuperating – and that might be a wonderful idea – we are really busy now with Joshua here for his Nana/Sabba week.

He’s keeping us quite busy, and I cannot spend too much time typing, so what I will do instead is upload a few pictures.

First, Joshua’s graduation.




After spending Shabbat in Sharon, we headed back to New York first thing Sunday morning to catch the Mets at Citi Field. They have been in a bit of a slump but the weather was fabulous and Joshua is a great sport who sees the joy in the game even when it does not go well for his team. One big advantage of the New York major league ball parks is that they have kosher food concessions. Of course the disadvantage is that most 11 year old boys fail to accept the idea that the following menu

Lunch: two hotdogs, a potato knish, a bottle of Sprite
Late afternoon snack: an ice cream sandwich
Dinner: fried chicken nuggets and French fries

can cause some abdominal upset. We know this about him but it is so hard to say “no” to that adorable face of his! We’ll be going again on Wednesday and I think he really means it when he says he plans to limit himself a bit more!



This morning we spent on our tour of Citi Field. This was totally cool, particularly standing right there on the field. It is such a different view. There was one part of the tour that was not accessible but the boys came back and reported to me. And of course we took lots of pictures.






Stay tuned for future installments! And enjoy Spring!

Love,


Rebecca
