Est. 2006 The Schreibman: Jam Packed!

We kicked off the weekend with Asher's debut at Temple!

This was a big Friday night Shabbat Service at our Temple honoring our Cantor Andy for his 10 years of dedication to our congregation...leading us in beautiful song. There were over 500 people at services and Asher got A LOT of attention. He already has a reputation of being the "temple baby".

Already a momma's boy!

Check out my seer sucker jumper with little whales.

Asher in his temple clothes before he crashed and fell asleep.

This was the first time he wore "shoes" aka robeez. He didnt seem to mind them at all.

(note: this outfit was his coming home outfit...it now at 2 months fits him properly ha!)

He slept through most of the musical service (probably because he loves loud music).

Everyone "thinks" he is an angel baby because he is great a putting on a show right when he needs to in public. Smart kid!

After services we scooted over to Sarah and Robert's for dessert. Sarah's best friend Aliza was in town visiting and her other friend Talia surprised her at the last minute! It was great to get to meet them after hearing about them the past 2 years. Asher had a great time although by this point in the evening he was over it and ready for bed. He had a WAY late bed time of 11 PM. We were also completely exhausted!

Saturday Philip and I finally got out in the yard. Softa and Papu came over to watch Asher while we laid 20 bales of pinestraw throughout the landscaping. We also de-grassed and de-weeded all of the beds. It was a ton of work but it looks great. Thankfully it was quite cloudy and the temperature was fairly cool. We still worked up quite a sweat...I forgot how much hard work...yard work really is. Unfortunately 20 bales were not enough so we will be purchasing a few more and doing a little bit more work... more like PHILIP WILL BE DOING IT!

Our buddy Wes was in town for a wedding and he brought his dog Charlie to stay with us Saturday night. Charlie is the most laid back dog I have met in a long time. He did great with Bella...although we can't say Bella did great with him. Bella is a little snotty from time to time and she kept snapping at him if he got in her personal space. Snoooooty! Charlie was such a sweetheart and stayed occupied with this bone the entire time.

Saturday night we decided to go out to a family dinner at Brixx. We listened to live music at Blakeney and then rented Yes Man to watch at home. It was a lovely evening all of us together.

Sunday morning we invited the Plunkett's (Cassidy, Drew, Hailey and Keelyn) and the Sexton's (Fred, Jen and Ellie) over for brunch (Cassidy, Fred and I all went to high school together). 6 adults and 4 kids...it was quite a gathering. Out of our group of high school friends we are just about the only ones with kids (except Sarah...I can't leave you out girl!)...and we all happened to be together for brunch. BIZARRE. It felt like just yesterday we were in high school together...or jumping on my trampoline in my backyard.

We enjoyed pancakes, custom made omletes by chef Philip, OJ and watermelon
