So, what have we been doing

Benjamin's dinner plate Some time later, Benjamin arranged a wonderful presentation of his dinner

Rejoice!

Princeton decided to celebrate it's fund raising campaign with an elegant dinner

at the end of which, they had chocolate pianos

and Suzanne and David celebrated by going to Pittsburgh. Here's Suzanne waiting to get on the plane After these people got us into a rental car, we were able to make our way to Oakland and take this picture of Suzanne and her parents

And when we got back

Everyone was glad to see us return. Sarah called a friend

to announce our arrival. Angela

moved so fast that she got dizzy and had to make chocolate chip cookies to recover.

Jane

couldn't wait to eat them which made Angela happy

and Benjamin spun at her feet

hoping that he could get some cookies too which he did once Sarah helped him up

off the floor

and into the blur

before things became clear again

The race for the cure

Lucy, Jane, Rosie and Mary got all dressed up

and ran in the race for the cure.

Hallowe'en

This year, Benjamin decided to use his Israeli costume and be Superman so he had to practice his takeoffs

before heading to school. Suzanne wore her traditional orange and black

to mark the day. Lauren came by

to escort us to the parade where we caught these pictures of Benjamin and his classmates

Adults in attendance included Jack Gelfand

and ?? Steinhardt

and Louise Huttner

We also captured last year's teacher Ms. Frenchu

and principal, Dr. Ginsburg

before departing.

Milt and Norma's 50th

We went back to Pittsburgh to help celebrate Milt and Norma's 50th wedding anniversary.

Here are Norma talking to Debbie

and Milt talking to Danny

as they waited for the festivities to begin. Georgia arrived

so we all slowly assembled in the back yard

for the obligatory group photos

followed by some individual shots

of family members and then of their happy children

Suzanne posed with her Aunt Sally Norma, Frances Goldberg and Aunt Reva chatted and Benjamin gave a tour of his mouth and the gaps left by his lost teeth
