Zoe walks, baby Joshua, and other goodies

It was an exciting weekend for our family. On the morning of our new nephew Joshua Ari's bris, Zoe took her first steps. The first time she walked to get to Mama. But the second time (see 3rd photo) she was chasing the bigger kids for a piece of cheese they had swiped from the brunch spread. Too cute we say -- a real foodie at heart! It was very special that Glenn was already taking her picture as she took the steps and that Great Grandma Rita was there to see it. We can't believe our baby is growing up so fast.



Zachary and Zoe would like to introduce their new cousin Joshua Ari. Here they are striking a pose during our visit. Joshua is so adorable and a great baby. We are so glad we got to spend so much quality time with him.

On the morning of the bris, Zoe and Zachary got dressed up to celebrate this special day. We think they looked pretty cute, but they couldn't possibly steal the spotlight from our adorable, loveable nephew. His parents hosted a great party to celebrate his bris.

We felt especially honored to have a role in Joshua's bris. Uncle Glenn held him before the procedure and gave him wine. His parents and Aunt Betsy are in the background watching. Aunt Betsy actually held him during the circumcision - wow that was quite a sight. He did great and his parents were glad to get him back in their arms when it was all over. Mazal tov on this important milestone in his life!
