Fall in Palo Alto

You want pictures? We got pictures! From Jonah's first birthday, to our trip to Michigan, to Rick's birthday and the High Holidays (when Jonah started walking), to Sukkot, to our trip in mid-October to LA for Guy & Jennifer's wedding, to the Halloween visit by Cheryl, to Rick's half-marathon, and finally to our recent visit by Papa Steve and Nana Donna. 34 new pictures, in total - plus the 3 I posted a couple of weeks ago. Just imagine these had been spread out over the last 3 months!

We are off now to Florida for Thanksgiving - more on that later.


Let's start on August 17 - Jonah's birthday.



Grandpa Ron and Grandma Nancy came for Jonah's first birthday.

Back at Charlotte's house, with the kids.




At home, with Jonah's first birthday present from Nana and Papa, about to drag race with Ariella.



A great picture from putt-putt golfing.



Break-fast of Yom Kippur fell on the day after Rick's birthday. We had people over. Here's Maya, the world's best babysitter and friend to us and the kids, with Ariella. (Jonah now says "Maya" to every college student with straight long hair that he sees).



The whole family, on Daddy's birthday.



Sukkot, end of September, 2007, with the Broussis.



Ariela, Andi, Ariella, and Galia.



Rick shows Jonah how to shake the lulav.



And now, to LA. This is in Santa Monica. We can't believe the kids posed for this shot.

At Guy & Jennifer's wedding. Doesn't Jonah look dapper in his tux?

We went to an apple festival the next weekend. Jonah, in the pumpkins.

Rick and Jonah.

At the Halloween party. (?)



On Halloween, Jonah was a bumblebee and Ariella was Sleeping Beauty.

Aw, aren't they cute?

Cheryl visited from New York, and snuggled with Ariella.

On November 4th, Rick ran the Silicon Valley half-marathon in 2:18. Andi and Ariella made a sign. This is just after the race.

Then Papa Steve and Nana Donna visited from Atlanta.

We went to the Children's museum in San Jose. We could NOT pry Jonah away from this truck.

One last snuggle with the grandkids.
