Field Trip to Firehouse

In November, Jennifer joined her Intown Playgroup classmates for a field trip to the firehouse. She had a great time and here are the photos. The guys at the firehouse were great with the kids -- they gave a demonstration of how a fireman can put on all of his equipment in 60 seconds. They also demonstrated going down the firepole. The trip was made more interesting by the fact that there was a real fire call while we were there and the firemen all jumped on two trucks and rushed out of the station while we were there. They ended up coming back after 15 minutes (it was a false alarm) but it was exciting for the kids to see that. J.

Visit to Asian Art Show In NYC

We had a really nice visit with Marion, Alan, and Illisa in NYC several weeks ago when we drove up for an Asian Art Show. Jennifer loved seeing the art but even more she enjoyed being with Marion, Alan, and Illisa! Here are a few photos. J.

Jennifer's Second Halloween

Jennifer had a good time dressing up as a fairy princess (I think that was what the official costume was) for Halloween. In addition to walking around the neighborhood, we also had a good time hanging out with our next door neighbors Dan and Allison and their daughter Miriam (dressed as a bumble bee). There was also a party at the Intown Playgroup. Here are the photos.

Jenny's Second Birthday Party at Hillandale

It seems like we are constantly celebrating birthdays these last few weeks but we wanted to host a birthday party for Jennifer so we could celebrate with family, friends, and neighbors. So we had a nice celebration at at the Hillandale clubhouse (located just up the street from our house). It was wonderful to have our special friends Marion, Allen, and Ilissa Herskowitz come down from NY for the event. Here are the pics. I especially like the one with R holding both Jennifer (wearing her birthday tiara!) and Jessica. I also like the one with Debbie and Alex smiling at each other.

Second Birthday Get Together with Sullivans and Heverins

We had our annual birthday celebration with the three girls at the Sullivan's house to celebrate the girls' second birthdays. It was great seeing everyone and I got some great pics. All of the girls are just beautiful.

Birthday Piano and Intown B-day Party

Since Jennifer has always admired pianos (she loved the piano player at the Four Seaons in Georgetown), we got her a mini-piano for her second birthday that we celebrated in September. Here are some good photos of her with the piano, as well as a few pics with R and Ellen. It's so funny how she totally fits on the mini piano bench! I also included a few photos of Jennifer at the little b-day celebration at the Intown Playgroup.
