It started like a normal Sunday. First, Jane IMG_0505 did her Sarah imitation and then we took a picture of the new Bose IMG_0506 that would be an anniversary gift once we reached 20 years. We even took pictures of the biology experiment IMG_0507 IMG_0508 IMG_0509 IMG_0510 IMG_0511 as the seeds continued to grow. But then the urge to go to the ball game became too great and so we drove to Trenton, got in line IMG_0512 and waited IMG_0513 until we could see the green grass IMG_0514 of spring and the scoreboard IMG_0515 in center field. This being Yankee hat day meant that we were in quite a bit of splendor as they IMG_0516 sent me up to look for hot dogs IMG_0517 and have Vicki IMG_0518 serve up a few from this menu IMG_0519 along with some pizza IMG_0520 for me. As Ben did the hot dog commercial IMG_0521 I posed the pizza IMG_0522 and we watched the groundsmen IMG_0523 prepare the field so that the umpires IMG_0524 could get things going. Before we knew it, Boomer was in our section IMG_0525 and then back towards the field IMG_0526 IMG_0527 as the camera people IMG_0528 recorded his every move. While we were there, I was announced in my new job.

So, a few days later as we prepared for Seder, some balloons came IMG_0529 and it was important to record the balloons IMG_0530 and the delivery people but Carolyn blinked IMG_0531 and again IMG_0532 before we got the good mother, daughter and balloons IMG_0533 picture. Then this man IMG_0534 arrived with more balloons and flowers so that the ceiling looked like this IMG_0535 when the Tal's IMG_0536 arrived and then Sarah's friends IMG_0537 and Robert arrived IMG_0538 and then he changed into local fashion IMG_0539 for the seder which amused Peter Kramer IMG_0540 enough that he took this picture IMG_0541 much to Seva's amusement.

We gathered for the seder IMG_0543 and the music began IMG_0544 as the seder progressed IMG_0545 IMG_0546 IMG_0547 until the food could be served and Peter's plate looked like this IMG_0548 as I ate charoset IMG_0549 and then had the vegetarian plate IMG_0550 as Seva and Josh IMG_0551 discussed Iraq with Yossi IMG_0552 and found some amusement IMG_0553 as the crowd at the other table IMG_0554 IMG_0555 continued their conversations. The kitchen showed the remains IMG_0556 as Ayellet's fruit salad IMG_0557 amused Ben IMG_0558 and Gilead and Omri IMG_0559 as Josh regressed to his childhood IMG_0560 Sarah served IMG_0561 dessert to Laura IMG_0562 and they posed IMG_0563 for a room mate picture.

Jane overcame her shyness IMG_0564 to show her face IMG_0565 and then experimented with pictures of musical instruments at close range IMG_0566 IMG_0567 IMG_0568 IMG_0569 IMG_0570 until dessert IMG_0571 was over. Chag Sa'meach to all.
