Happy Monday everyone (or tuesday for those of you down under). Jem and I had a fun weekend -- it started out with visiting Jen and James and their new baby -- Sasha Sicily Takata -- on our way home from work, which was lots of fun. Then we had a relaxing dinner friday night at home with our friends Adi and Larry -- we decided on Friday afternoon to combine our efforts and eat together since neither of us had plans. Saturday we went to shul and then had lunch at our friends Rebecca and Jeremy Mittman's house (jeremy and I went to law school together at USC and both worked at Proskauer -- jeremy was in the NY office while I was in the LA office and moved to the LA office right after I moved to Manatt). Adi and Larry and the Fishmans (Mordechai, Shana, Caleb and Tehilla) were there as well, so it was a very fun group. We got home from lunch close to 6pm so just vegged the rest of the day. After shabbos, we FINALLY organized some photo albums on kodak gallery and ordered them -- its been on our To Do list for months -- so now in a couple of weeks, we'll have photo albums of our trip to Israel over pesach, as well as our trip to Spain, and then another album of summer 2007.
Sunday we got up early and I did some grocery shopping while Jem took Milo out for a run. Then Jem and Milo went to Milo's obedience class while I stayed at home and waited for the delivery of our new tv. Yes, after over 2 years of researching, we finally got our flat screen tv -- its a 42 inch, LCD, 1080p Toshiba. We also set up a little surround sound system for the tv in our bedroom, so now our To Do list for the house is FINALLY done! Next its reorganizing rooms for the baby, but at least we have a little time to do that.
Then we went to our Baby Care class with our friends Taffy and Claude (who are having a baby 10 days after us), where we learned lots of helpful tips about taking care of a newborn, including how to swaddle, which will be very helpful. The class was lots of fun. Then we headed home to make dinner for my dad and Rochelle in honor of my dad's 61st birthday.
A great weekend.
This week promises to be crazy, with only a few days of work and then Rosh Hashana starting Wednesday night. Jem is off to Seattle for the day tomorrow, but, being a good husband is making sure he'll be back in time for our birthing class at 7pm.
Rosh Hashana should be fun. We're having meals with friends, and luckily, a few mellow ones at home so we can relax a bit.
Shana Tova!!!
