A week in pictures

We had a busy and fun week with Joshua and Ella. With their rather different interests, we did not quite know how it would work out having them together. But the most heartwarming thing about the week was how well they both went with the flow, willing to try new things and share experiences just to spend time with us. We did our best to balance the meat (for Joshua) and dairy (for Ella) meals: no one went hungry!

Here is a summary in pictures of the highlights of our week.

We spent Tuesday at the Bronx Zoo, appropriately followed by seeing “Cats” on Broadway.

On Wednesday we went to a Mets game. They lost 5 to 1 to the Texas Rangers but we still had a good time. We had dinner at Corner Cafe in Riverdale.

Thursday was the American Museum of Natural History, always a big hit. We had lunch at Bagel & Co.

On Friday, we went to New Roc City and then I took Ella for a mani/pedi.

We had a lovely Shabbat, including lots of good food (one dairy meal, one meat meal, and one parve meal) two games of Rummikub.

Finally, on Sunday we headed to a place we had never been, the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey. We all agreed that this would be a great place for Julia!

Dina arrived with Julia and Noah on Monday morning. We had one last pizza lunch before sending them on their way to visit their other grandparents in Baltimore and heading down to MSKCC for my first treatment.

All in all, a fabulous week. Now we are just anxiously waiting our week with Maya in December!

Love,
