Parenthetically, this is coming to you from my Smartphone because our ancient computer, which Drew refused to replace until it was too late and he left, now is no connecting or loading or whatever it is that computers do to work. Never again will I wait more than three years to replace a compter again.
Ok, rant over.
Rachel and I had a great weekend. Today we went to a gathering of the Chavurah, a group of people from our synagogue who are roughly in the same life circumstances as we are. At first I didn't want to go; it was raining outside and I got the banana bread in late and it just seemed like a haul.
But as always with these things, I'm really glad I went. Rachel made herself right at home after being a bit clingy when we first arrived. She found a toy shopping cart that the host later gifted to us because his girls had outgrown it, and I was actually able to meet new folks and talk to them. Later all the kids trooped upstairs to watch Toy Story 3 and when I went to check on Rachel I got engrossed in the movie as did she- - with occasional breaks to crawl all over me, peer into my face and say hi, and otherwise be adorable.
Some cute Rachelisms from the weekend:
Yesterday I was looking for a recipe to make an appetizer for a potluck at the law school this week. "What should I make, Rachel?" I mused aloud.
"I draw arecipe for you," she said. "Popsicle soup!"
"Wow Rachel!" I said. "What color is it?"
"White and black and other colors," she said.

"I can't wait until you're old enough for me to take you to the ballet," I said to her tonight. "We'll go to tea and the ballet, and Daddy can...catch a football game or whatever it is that men do."
"Daddy make chocolate chips!" She said.

She is READING, I'm sure of it! Tonight I was reading her a book called, "Red hat, blue hat," which I haven't. Read to her in ages, and after we were done she announced that SHE wanted to read it. Then she repeated almost exactly what one of the pages said: Red hat blue hat yellow hat greenc coat OOPS. I was so impressed!@@
