Two weekends ago my father came to visit and we had an Aplebaum Family Shabbaton. Lowell, Nina, and Lewes joined us and we enjoyed a weekend of being together. Hersh and Lewes especially enjoyed spending time with Zayde, or as Hersh calls him, Zaybee.
Also, it has been amazing to observe Hersh as he interacts with the changes of Fall. He is constantly picking up leaves and talking about what color they are (most are yellow, since that is the color he knows). He also loves running through the leaves and collecting sticks. The moon has been very full and bright over the past week and he loves for Jacob to take him outside at night, they point at the moon, and when it is time to come in he is truly broken hearted. He also knows his first number--2. He will count to about 14 by repeating after us, but 2 he actually knows on his own. He is also really interested in playing guitar and harmonica.
Next week is Thanksgiving and the entire Lewis Family will be together--whoohoo! Stay tuned for pictures and stories about our thanksgiving in Philly!
