Tu B' Shevat celebration for the trees

The trees did not go unnoticed this year. We had lots of moments to to honor and celebrate this holiday for the trees--one of my favorite Jewish holidays.

Our seder in the park:



Ozomatli played at the Big Jewish Tent nature fest event in the Malibu mountains (awesome semi-private show for $5!!!). Complete with climbing wall and eco-fair:



And our hike with our temple community at Wildwood park:

The start of the hike:

The end of the hike:

Thanks to the talented Teagan (on Etsy!) for the perfect sweater for the occasion (pirate hat not included).

First post of 2012

Whoa! Did the first month of 2012 already go by THAT quickly?

One can of course check Facebook for more recent posts like the bouldering in San Ysidro canyon and Micah's first poop of 2012 recap...


but on to more important moments in 2012:

Like Grandma and Grandpa's visit at the end of January/ beginning of February.

Micah got to kayak with G & G in the harbor:

Of course there was the requisite birding. Micah claims he wants a vest like Grandpa, but that, "I'll probably have to wait until I'm (like) 8 to fit in one."


Here's to hoping that at 8 you have different ideas on fashion accessories, Micah.
