GG Comes to Town

Alex and Ari's maternal great grandmother "GG" arrived from Florida this week, completing the trio of great grandparents. Tonight we hosted the first Shabbat dinner in our new home with a total of 14 adults and four children. Quite a crowd, but well worth the effort to have what was a historical gathering of so many generations of two families. We'll let the photos speak for themselves:

All three great grandmothers (for a combined total of 270 years!): The three great grandmothers with their great grandchildren (note this picture was taken right before Ari and Alex's bed time, not their prettiest moment as you can tell from the look on Ari's face):

For now, I'll just add that Ari has started saying something that sounds like "mama" in the last two days, and she's also clapping. She (and to a lesser extent Alex) has a pretty nasty cold, but it hasn't seemed to slow her down or make her too sad. We're hoping she gets better quickly. It's late, so more news and pictures will have to wait until later!
