The boys recently went to the east coast for their cousin Jessica Lipka’s bat mitzvah. Glen took them all by himself!!!! Yay Glen! He said he realized that I usually take care of 90% of everything that needs to be done on these trips. That was nice. I had rehearsals for Magic Flute opera chorus at Opera San Jose so I couldn’t go.

Allegedly, the boys were great! Energetic as always, but well behaved overall. They got to see Nana, who was visiting from Florida, and Shana, and stayed with Bapu and Susu and Auntie Abigail and of course saw Aunt Lindy and Uncle Daniel and cousin Molly. They got to play with cousins Genessa and Elizabeth. All of these adults tell me that the boys were great. I think it’s a conspiracy. How could they be well-behaved without me there yelling at them and mutchering them?

Matthew had a fantasy that he had to share with everyone. He is going to the moon. He is taking a rocket to the moon. There will be a party. There will be a swimming pool and a flag. There are many details to this fantasy. It is specific. Abigail asked, “How do we get to the moon, do we take the elevator?” Matthew rolled his eyes at her and patiently explained, “No. You take a ROCKET to the moon.” He did not stop talking about this plan of his the whole trip!

Unfortunately when they were in DC for the celebration, the line for the Air & Space Museum was toooo long. Man, that would have been a perfect place for them to visit!

They all had a great time and I was so sorry to miss it.
