Big brother

A number of people have asked me how Elijah has been adjusting to our new addition.... the short answer is, beautifully. Will write more soon but thought I'd share this cute photo of him as a "ninja." He banged his head on a bookshelf and we used the belt of my bathrobe to attach an orphaned sock ice pack to his forehead!

My water broke at 4:00am on January 3rd, we arrived at Prentice Hospital a few hours later. Here we are in the triage area.

Baby Anne arrived later that afternoon. Here she is with the proud Savta

Elijah has been in wonderful spirits. He is very helpful around the house, fetching things for Mommy and even lugging groceries up the stairs this afternoon. He is rather camera shy and I bribed him with a lollipop to get this shot.

The whole family came over to help celebrate Anne's first Shabbat. Darling Max was very excited to give kisses to his new cousin, what a sweetie!
