March - April

Time for some journal blog catching up...

Here are a few things in the long almost-forgotten past that I want to document (like March-April 2013).

I made my first batch of homemade bread. Thanks to Becca for the bomb recipe. Moist and delicious, especially with cinnamon and sugar!

 We had a little Easter egg hunt. (3/30)

 Reese caught on quickly, as you can see.

 baby squat!

   The Easter Bunny brought Reese a few presents. (3/31)

April 2nd was Devon's 29th birthday! Reese and her friend Madison helped open presents. Devon celebrated with his buddies and watched some NCAA Bball. I served up some ice cream and specialty drinks (IBC Rootbeers, Cream Sodas, Roy Rogers, Shirley Temples, etc.). We got him some stuff from Jack Threads and some candy. I also put together a funny card his friends helped with. It was a bucket list of sorts for this next year--a list of things you're too old to do or say when you turn 30.

At the end of April Grandpop Glassman passed away and we headed to California. It was good to be able to see family, but sad to see them on these terms. I don't know where my pictures are, but we attended a beautiful service and ceremony--it was our first traditional Jewish funeral. My favorite part was the shivah, where we gathered to reminisce and talk about memories of Grandpop. 

We were also lucky to be there long enough for two Knott's Berry Farm trips and a splash pad adventure. Shira and I were like the paparazzi trying to get pictures of Reese and Brekyn together. 

 Reese LOVED Snoopy and literally gave him like a minute-long hug!
