In August, we said goodbye to "Nana's House". . .

Wide pine floors . . .

Beehive chimney

Ugly floor - but I used to play a game where I could only walk around the kitchen with my foot squarely on a "brick".

Wisteria

Peacock tile from Jerusalem, which Avi and Annette lugged over here in two valises . . ,

Front door latch

Morning-porch window

My heating grate - I spent many an hour curled up over it reading . . .

I love you.

Our annual boardwalk picture-booth picture . . .

2009-12-22T19:41:00.000-08:00

Every year we go to the boardwalk, into the arcade, and get our picture taken in the oldest most beat-up black and white picture booth we can find. (How long will it take before you can't even find one at the boardwalk anymore??)

After the Hurricane passed by . . .

2009-12-22T19:39:00.001-08:00

You want me to eat what??

2009-12-22T19:30:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately, while we were off having fun with Rachel and Michael, Grandma and Grandpa were dealing with a very sick Noah, and suffice it to say it was NOT FUN. (However, we do appreciate it!)

Fun in the Sun . . .

2009-09-05T19:56:00.000-07:00

I can't believe I am just now getting around to posting these great pictures of our summer vacation (a little late).

What's a party without cake?

2009-05-24T18:43:00.001-07:00

The guests seemed to really enjoy it!

Waterworks!

2009-05-24T18:37:00.001-07:00

This watertable from Nana and Grandpa was the life of the party . . .

Noah and Grandpa put together the Bike!

2009-05-24T18:23:00.000-07:00

(First, they consult the directions)

Then, they use a screwdriver . . .

When it's all done, they have a snack . . . :)

More Playground!

The Big Slide

2009-05-24T16:59:00.000-07:00

Noah loves to go on the big slide at the playground!

And so does Maxine!!

Drumlin Farm

2009-03-22T14:34:00.000-07:00

Today we went to Drumlin Farm with our friends Matt, Liana, and Martin - Noah and Martin saw lots of farm animals up close: Cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, roosters. We also saw baby lambs that had been born yesterday, and kids that had been born just an hour previously! They were so cute! Noah had a great time naming all the animals - and he got to sit on a tractor!

Bye Bye Crib!

2009-03-07T15:21:00.000-08:00

We found Noah doing this this morning . . . so we had to disassemble his crib. Now he will be mobile at night - (bad for our ability to get sleep!)

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

2009-01-23T07:57:00.000-08:00

(Not quite sure he likes the stuff . . .)

2008-12-29T18:05:00.000-08:00

Wow, I haven't posted here in a long time - over a month and a half . . . I will try to remedy that - we had a great Christmas with Noah's grandparents, uncle, aunt, and cousins (and their dogs). I will post some pictures soon. For now, here is a pic taken yesterday, on the last night of Hannukah.

Grandpa's Pictures!

2008-11-13T17:42:00.000-08:00

Who Me?

Noah's Grandpa Steve and Grandma Max were up from Maryland this weekend and Grandpa took these GREAT pictures of Noah - (unfortunately, and once again, we didn't get any pictures of them with Noah, we were just having so much fun going and doing things . . .)

Leaves!

Trick or Treat!

2008-10-31T17:42:00.000-07:00

This was Noah's second Halloween - and we went again with Noah's cousins trick or treating in their neighborhood. Noah was very excited to walk up to all the doors and take candy and put it in his pumpkin. He was also excited to examine all the glowing pumpkins that were on people's steps! Below is a video of Noah walking up to someone's door and generously offering them his candy! (Not the cutest exchange of the night, but unfortunately the only one I got on tape).

It's That Time Again . . .

2008-10-27T11:42:00.001-07:00

Time for PUMPKINS . . . wow, what a difference a year makes!

But, not ready for his Audience with the Queen quite yet . . .

Noah gets spiffed up!

2008-09-21T18:00:00.000-07:00

We were invited to the Bat-Mitzvah of Eva, the daughter of my oldest friend . . . (boy do I feel old now!) Noah enjoyed the service and also enjoyed getting dressed up for it, as you can see . . .

Beach Morning

2008-08-30T19:45:00.000-07:00

Bethany Beach . . . 6:30 a.m.

More Friends At The Beach!

2008-08-30T19:42:00.000-07:00

We got to see Rachel, Michael, Jordan and Max and were so happy to be able to spend some time with them. Above is a GREAT picture of Jordan and Max with Noah. Below is Rachel wearing Noah's monkey ears . . .(too bad we didn't get one of Michael in the tiger ears, but he wisely declined to wear them . . .)

Friends at the Beach!

2008-08-30T19:28:00.000-07:00

Rebecca (displaying blue plate)

We got to spend some time with Dan, Katherine, Joshua and Rebecca while we were at the beach. They are some of our favorite people!

Dan and Joshua in the ferocious ocean!
(Unfortunately, Joshua overheard Dan joking that "the Ocean demands a sacrifice" and offering up Noah to the Ocean gods . . . apparently he went home talking about how the Ocean was going to "eat" him. (Oh well, nothing that a little therapy can't cure, right?)

Joshua looks like he has a secret!

Who? Us?

Dan and Joshua in the ferocious ocean (video).

Bethany Beach (II) !!!

2008-08-30T19:24:00.001-07:00

Bethany Beach!

2008-08-30T19:18:00.001-07:00

We spent a week at Bethany Beach in Delaware - Noah was very excited to stand at the edge of the ocean and feel the waves . . .

Newport!

2008-07-27T04:29:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we went to Newport, RI for the day. (We had not been back to that area since our wedding . . .) We were very excited to take Noah to Breton Point Park and watch the kiteflying.

2008-07-27T04:20:00.000-07:00

We went on a sailboat around Newport Harbor!

And, of course, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to drive by the place where we got married (but they were setting up for a wedding, so we had to quickly sneak away, but we did manage to get this picture of the sign for the Portsmouth, RI Town Hall - where our marriage certificate is!)

Here are some videos of us watching the kites flying at Breton Point Park!

Back to the Children's Museum!

2008-07-10T18:45:00.000-07:00

What a difference six months makes! Now Noah can really enjoy the pool of mauve goop . . . The pre-walker padded room in the toddler area at the Children's Museum is really great - There is even a little kitchenette there so you can eat with your toddler. We are thinking of becoming members . . .I cannot say enough about how fun this museum is (I just wish they still had grandmother's attic!)

FOURTH OF JULY

2008-07-08T03:20:00.001-07:00

We had our annual Fourth of July BBQ and pool party at my parent's house - the weather held out and we enjoyed the day, the pool, and the burgers. Noah got to play with the big kids! Here Sophie expresses her preference for the pinot grigio! (Just kidding - I think my brother posed her this way, poor kid!)

Mosquito Netting?

2008-06-30T20:08:00.000-07:00

There are some days when my mom wants to take Noah outside . . but she feels that the mosquitos are especially bad . . . so, she rigged up this mosquito netting contraption:

Ahh, my poor son! At least he will have come by his neuroses honestly!

The Cousins!

2008-06-30T19:51:00.001-07:00

Noah is lucky enough to have three cousins who live in the next town. Last weekend we were there for a birthday/anniversary party, and Noah got to spend some time with the big kids!

John showed Noah what was in all the little boxes - and Noah was fascinated! Later John tried to take Noah to play outside, but my little city kid didn't even want to put his feet down on the grass! I wonder if this rules out camping . . . (hey, we already have the mosquito netting - see above).

George's Island with Mike!

2008-06-21T18:23:00.000-07:00

Our friend Mike is moving to China soon - and we are going to miss him! We spent a great day visiting Fort Warren on George's Island (part of the Boston Harbor Islands) It was a lot of fun! "We like our Mike . . ." It won't be the same without him!

School pictures!

2008-06-11T18:50:00.001-07:00

We got the proofs back on Noah's school pictures. This is the one we ordered (and we ordered a 5x7 for each set of grandparents as well as some wallet sized ones!) His teacher brushed his hair - can't you tell? It never looks like that in real life!

More pictures from the birthday weekend!

2008-06-08T15:22:00.001-07:00

The Birthday Boy!

Noah for Obama!

(Um . . . yeah - this is what his hair normally looks like!)

Noah and Grandpa Steve

I love this picture of Noah looking up at the sun . . .

The family!!!

Noah's unfortunate new skill

2008-06-08T05:47:00.000-07:00

Unfortunate for US that is!!

Still more Birthday party pictures!

2008-06-05T04:10:00.000-07:00

Getting ready for Cake

As you can see, there was much revelry among the guests!

And Balloons were the best part . . .

The Cake

2008-06-04T03:23:00.001-07:00

Binky? or Cake?

2008-06-04T03:02:00.000-07:00

Noah appears to prefer Binky!

The Wild Party

2008-06-01T17:39:00.000-07:00

As you can see, all the animals came out for Noah's party . . . I will post more pics later - but for now, I couldn't resist this one . . .

In Honor of Noah's First Revolution Around the Sun

2008-05-26T20:12:00.001-07:00

I am staying up late making sugar cookies!!!! (My first time!)

ONE REVOLUTION AROUND THE SUN . . .

2008-05-26T18:34:00.001-07:00

Well, today is Noah's birthday - my baby has been alive for one full revolution around the sun!! To commemorate we went to Essex and then later to Crane's Beach. This was Noah's first beach experience and of course like all babies he ate the sand. I expected him to make a face and spit it out but he kept eating it - He loved it! We have now solved his eating issues and found something Noah loves to eat! Unfortunately, I forgot the camera when we went to the beach so we didn't get any "eating sand" pictures - but we also went antiquing! Here are some pictures of Dave and Noah checking out the antique scene in Essex! (Look Mom, Noah is wearing a sun hat!) Of course, the thing about the sun hat is that he doesn't like it and kept throwing it off - one time we were in a store and realized he didn't have it and looked around and finally found it in one of the antique bins - good aim kid!. (And yes mom, he is also wearing sunscreen - SPF 55!)

(Update May 27 - FYI - Sand does not feel so good when it is coming out the other end!)

At the Playground with Sam!

2008-05-26T06:08:00.000-07:00

Noah and his friend Sam in the tunnel at the playground - note Dave's nose in the second picture! (Yes, Mom, I am aware that Sam has on a sun hat and Noah doesn't ! :)

Dinner, Ice Cream, and a ride . . .

2008-05-25T18:25:00.000-07:00

At the start of Noah's birthday weekend, we had dinner Friday night with Keith, Diane, Ella, and Sophie and then we all walked up town for ice cream! We can't believe that in one more year Noah will be as talkative as Sophie is! Here is a picture of Dave and Diane with Noah and Sophie.

Sophie and Diane

Weekend with the Grandparents

2008-05-19T18:53:00.000-07:00

Dave and I went to New York this weekend and Noah stayed with his grandparents - the documentary evidence indicates that he had a great time. He was tuckered out by the end!

Water Baby!

2008-05-04T09:16:00.000-07:00

Noah loves taking a bath in the bath tub - so its only natural he'd love swimming too - Today was our first "lesson" at the YMCA - the zero-entry pool was very warm (thankfully) and Noah really seemed to like it although he was a little cautious and not splashing as much as he does in the tub at home.
We're not supposed to bring cameras into the pool area - but we sneaked one in! Like his nifty new shark swimming shirt?

How much is that Doggy in the window?

2008-04-26T19:53:00.000-07:00

The one with the slobbery tongue?

Noah met Molly, a black lab puppy . . . He was quite taken with her!
(Molly thought Noah was delicious!)

Why is this Night different from all other Nights?

2008-04-23T11:14:00.001-07:00

IT'S NOAH'S FIRST PESACH!!!!!!!

My favorite holiday of the entire year - hopefully it will be Noah's too. We couldn't make a shirt that small, so Dad made Pesach bibs for both Noah and Sam. (Unfortunately, his buddy Sam was sick and couldn't make it - but he will wear it next year). S

I like my Binky

2008-04-13T18:59:00.001-07:00

A lot!

2008-04-13T18:41:00.001-07:00

We had a big family dinner with our cousins Pietro and Loredanna, who were visiting from Rome . . . Noah had a lot of fun visiting with them!

Jet-setting Grandma comes for a visit!

2008-04-08T18:26:00.000-07:00

Grandma came for a visit this weekend - from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon! It was too short - but it was great to see her. She got to play with Noah AND she made him yummy waffles (the real kind - not Eggo like we give him)! We can't wait to see her again.

"First Contact"

2008-04-08T08:10:00.000-07:00

Noah embarked upon his first true communicative act the other day - shaking his head "No" when I was trying to feed him. In the context that it was in, it was very, very clear what he meant! I immediately violated the "Prime Directive" several times by interferring with his newfound autonomy and trying to get him to eat a few more spoonfuls (but mostly because I just wanted to see him shake his head "no" again). Hey Ma, don't you know that "No" means NO??? (I guess not, sorry kid).

(We'll try to catch it on tape next time . . .!)

Noah and his Great-Nana

2008-04-02T04:06:00.001-07:00

Noah was very happy to sit with Nana at Ian's 30th birthday party - and Nana was very happy to hold him!

Noah hangs with baby Martin

2008-04-02T04:01:00.000-07:00

Although baby Martin is clearly not such a baby these days . . .(It was funny to have Noah be the older kid for once).

Noah smiles for the Camera

2008-03-26T04:22:00.000-07:00

Noah is definitely not camera shy!

Noah playing with Hat

2008-03-26T04:12:00.000-07:00

Noah has a great sense of humor - I kept putting his winter hat on him and he would laugh like it was the funniest thing in the world!

A short video of Noah (holding on for dear life?)

2008-03-11T18:45:00.000-07:00

Grandma and Grandpa come for a visit!

2008-03-03T10:22:00.000-08:00

Grandpa Steve and Grandma Max came for a visit this weekend - and we had a great time. They got to see Noah crawling all over the place and play with him. We also went out for many yummy meals (Dim Sum and Sushi - two of Noah's favorites!) and went to the Children's Museum on Sunday. Grandpa Steve proved himself to be a Grandpaparazzi, as the following pictures will attest!

Grandpa and Noah

What's up Grandpa?

Cheek grabbing - my favorite pastime . . .

Hanging out with Grandma

I can get anywhere!!!!

2008-03-03T10:17:00.001-08:00

BUT NOW THAT I'M HERE - HOW DO I GET DOWN?

(I exaggerate somewhat - we put him on the table - he cannot (YET) get onto the table himself. I do think the day is fast approaching however when he will be hanging from the rafters like the little monkey that he is).

The Children's Museum, Part II - Mirror Mirror on the Wall

2008-03-03T10:10:00.001-08:00

Noah had a great time in the crawler room at the Children's Museum. The wall length mirror was a big hit!

The Children's Museum!

2008-03-03T10:05:00.001-08:00

The wonderful world of Soap Bubbles!

On the tatami mat in the Japanese House

Click!!!

2008-02-25T20:19:00.000-08:00

Something clicked in Noah's brain last week - he was "swimming" on his stomach and rocking back and forth for two months . . . then all of a sudden something went click! and now he is crawling everywhere and pulling himself up on everything. It was as if he said "oh, I get it now!"

Noah and his Girlfriend

2008-02-14T19:25:00.000-08:00

On Valentine's Day

When I look pouty like this, mom gives me whatever I want!

2008-02-07T13:25:00.001-08:00

Toast? My favorite. . .

2008-02-06T03:59:00.000-08:00

Noah is spiffy!

2008-02-03T19:45:00.001-08:00

Noah cleans up pretty well! (Now if I could just do something about that crazy hair . . .)

I also like this picture because Noah is surrounded by pictures of his ancestors - the large portrait behind his head is of his great great grandparents . . .

Socks . . . are . . . Bad.

2008-01-20T20:30:00.001-08:00

Get them off me!

Crawling with Cowlicks

2008-01-17T15:01:00.000-08:00

I brush his hair - it won't stay down. I brush it again - it won't stay down. Here's a video of Noah thinking about crawling (not yet actually crawling) one morning where you can see his characteristic cowlick. Look like anyone we know?

Maryland for Christmas

2008-01-01T13:17:00.001-08:00

Our trip to Maryland for Christmas was great. Noah got to hang out and play with Grandma and Grandpa.

He also got to spend time with his cousins, Hannah and Kyle. Here are some pictures of them.

One thing that was amazing that we found out is that Noah's laugh sounds exactly like Hannah's!

This is a picture of Noah, Hannah, Kyle, and Rachel and Michael's son, Max:

And what would a trip to Maryland be without a trip to Niwano Hana? Noah really liked the sushi!

Christmas day was exhausting . . . so many things to do and play with, so many people to visit with . . . even the dogs were worn out!

We also got to see our friends Dan and Katherine, and their TWO children, Joshua and Rebecca. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good picture of Rebecca, because I was getting over a cold and didn't want to risk getting too close and infecting her with my snotty germs, but hopefully next time.

Claim at Gate. . .

2008-01-01T13:07:00.000-08:00

Ah, the airlines make it so easy to travel with children these days, you can just leave them at the end of the ramp and claim them later. So Noah's first flight was a piece of cake! Well . . . in reality we had to bring him with us on the plane to Maryland (imagine!) and he threw up all over Dave during the flight! Better him than me (Oh! Did I say that? Oops). That's ok - we love him anyway!

Sleeping with "Grumps"

2007-12-19T03:30:00.001-08:00

A typical Monday . . .

Noah's First Channukah!!!

2007-12-10T18:18:00.000-08:00

We had a wonderful first Channukah celebration . . . Noah was mesmerized by the lights

(he liked the songs too!)

Robin's Party!!

2007-12-10T18:07:00.000-08:00

Our friend Robin had a Christmas Party, and Noah decided to get in the spirit to help her celebrate!

Baby Martin (age 6 weeks) was also there, and Noah got to visit with him!

Noah likes Dim Sum

2007-12-08T04:06:00.000-08:00

We went to Dim Sum last week - Noah was intrigued . . . it's not long now before he can start on those Jin deui (they are my new favorite). Please, no fung zao though! (Although I hear Grandpa Steve loves them!)

(Noah with 烧卖 shāomài) (Ella, can you read this yet? We're counting on you to order for us.)

Saturday Morning with Dad

"Old Man" (with Noah on vocals . . . )

2007-11-23T07:12:00.000-08:00

This is Noah's first musical number. Thanksgiving is also my dad's birthday. He asked for a "performance" from us - this is what he got (after the Wednesday night drafting session that involved much beer). The lyrics are provided below for your enjoyment

Old man, there's no need to feel down
I said old man, get yourself off the couch
I said old man, though you're in the same town that you've lived in all of your life
Old man, there's a place you can go
I said old man, you can drive there real slow
I said Ilan, take your dog and just go
There's so many streets to get lost on . . .

It's really fun to leave Sharon, MA!
Maybe you should get on the freeway
There's a world out there
That you need to explore
You can even go to Darfur
Its really fun to leave Sharon, MA!
Maybe you should get on the freeway
You can drive 35 - you can coast on the breaks
Trooper will come if you give him ham steaks

Old man, while we're on the subject
Of that crazy - dog that Zev made you get
I said Ilan - now that you're a grandpa
Time to ensure that dog can't bite Noah
Ilan - you got Trooper already used
It's not your fault - that he gets so confused
But its time now to give that dog away
Before he maims and kills the Be Be

It's really fun to leave Sharon, MA!
Maybe you should get on the freeway
There's a kennel out there
That you need to go toward
Before Noah ends up a corpse. . .
Its really fun to leave Sharon, MA!
Maybe you should get on the freeway
You can drive 35 - you can coast on the breaks
Mom will come if you don't mention "the mistake."

Ilan, we are not in your shoes
We're not phobic - and not often confused
We know its hard - to leave Sharon, MA
But you're driving Jody crazy
Ilan, she needs to sell this house
I said Ilan, don't just sit there and grouse
When she's trying to upgrade everything
Don't sit back and act like you're king

Its really fun to leave Sharon, MA!
Maybe you should get on the freeway
You can pack up your meds
You can go up to Lowes
You can support whatever Jody chose
Its really fun to leave Sharon, MA!
Maybe you should get on the freeway
You can keep your mouth shut
And don't plague her with doubt
And when things change - well don't freak out!

Old man, you've lived here your whole life
I said old man - you've survived lots of strife
You walked through snow - and you tempted the fates
When you braved the back drive in '78

(We kind of ran out of steam after that).

Noah's Reading Ahead . . .

He wants to know What To Expect . . .

Ok, this is not my kid . . .

It's my friend and his kid . . . I just thought this was a poignant commentary on how great it is to be a parent . . .

Then Again . . .

Maybe Noah is the Walrus . . . (coo coo ca choo).

Coo Coo Ca Choo

Noah loved the choo choo at Keith and Diane's house (at least, I think it is a choo choo). So, did you know that the phrase coo coo ca choo has made its way into the Urban Dictionary? See Link here. Although there are several different definitions, the one I am going with is: "A term often used in the hippie era of the 60s, implying that everything is fine and there is no need to worry about anything."

That's how I feel right now . . . (I am the walrus)

Its fun to be a Dad . . .

You get to throw them up the air and make them laugh until they spit up their dinner . . . cool.

Grandma and Grandpa come for a visit!

2007-11-06T19:03:00.000-08:00

This weekend we were very excited to get a visit from Steve and Maxine. This was the first time they had seen Noah since we went to Maryland in July - and as Steve said, he's a totally different baby now! We had a great time on Sunday walking around Salem, MA - although everything was a little quiet because I think the town was in post-Halloween hangover . . .

It seems like we did a lot of eating this weekend as well - what would a great weekend be without breakfast at The Lighthouse?

Not to mention Sushi!

But mostly we just hung out - and it was great. We can't wait to go down and see them in December!

Noah had a great first Halloween! We went trick or treating with Noah's cousins: John, Ollie, and Andy (and my cousins Sarah and Jay) in the neighboring town. They have an awesome neighborhood where all the houses really do it up. There were about 60 kids and their parents out on the streets just in the hour that we went. It was total and complete bedlam! (The only down side was that I found out that it is waaaayyyy more fun to be a kid at Halloween than to be a parent - stressful!). At first I was taking him up to the doors and getting candy for him - but the other adults were giving me the evil eye in a "we know he can't eat candy yet" kind of way. So, then I got wise and enlisted his cousins to grab extra candy "for Noah" when they went up to the doors. Candy which Dave and I prompty ate. Thanks John, Ollie, and Andy (especially Andy - he was very consciencious about getting candy for his younger cousin).

Pumpkin festival

We also went with our good friends Keith, Diane, Ella, and Sophie to a pumpkin festival. Here are some pictures of us - and a picture of Diane and Sophie getting Sophie's face painted!
