When Helena met Jonathan

First impressions are always very important, and Helena handled the meeting with her new brother quite well. She was actually so excited that she saved Daddy $6 in coupons for items he didn't actually purchase when she bragged to a cashier that she was a big sister!

It's a boy!

Helena is proud to welcome her new baby brother, Jonathan Ben. He weighed in at 7 lbs, 4 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. He came so fast this morning that Sara had to do the delivery without an epidural...and her doctor who was racing from the ER. Sara is resting comfortably, and Jonathan is acclimating to life outside the womb. We are looking forward to Helena's introduction to her baby brother. More pictures to follow.

Beard today....

...gone tomorrow!

Happy Purim!

Helena dressed as a princess fairy (it's the best of both worlds)

Say Cheese!

Helena thought it was only fair that she got to take a photo of Daddy after he snapped one of her.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

Helena's belated tribute to Dr. Seuss (aka Theodore Geisel) for what would have been his 105th birthday (the celebration got delayed a day because most of her classmates, herself included, did not go to school yesterday because of the weather)
