Off to the Ride, one more time

The brothers Kaiserman took to their bikes together for the second year in a row, raising money for Hazon. Over Sunday and Monday of Labor Day weekend they biked about 2oo miles between the two of them.

Before the ride we shared Shabbat at Camp Kinder Ring with our dear friend Heidi - here is a family photo courtesy of Marni Mandel.

Long Hair, Short Hair...

Last summer, Shakespeare In the Park created a production of Hair in honor of the 40th anniversary of the show. Liz, Saul, Devin and Cheryl enjoyed last summer's performance so much that Saul wanted to try to get a whole group of us to go again this summer.

Long story short, Uncle Mark, Quincy (Mark's dog) Liz and Jory stood (sat) on line in Central Park from around 7:30AM until 1pm when they hand out tickets. Saul and Mark spent a wonderful evening seeing Hair in the open air theater in Central Park.

Take me out to the Ball Game

Thanks to Uncle Mark, Jory had the opportunity to go to one of the
final Mets games at Shea Stadium. We had a great time and
Jory even got a snooze during
the 7th inning stretch.

Great Aunt Rose turns 90

Liz's great Aunt Rose (her maternal grandmother's sister-in-law) turned 90 in July. Team Liz headed out to Cranberry NJ to celebrate this momentous occasion.

Here is Liz's mom (known as Safta to her grandchildren) holding Jory and chatting with Saul.

California Here we Come

Team Liz headed out West for a short visit. We flew from Newark to SFO and spent a couple nights in a sweet little resort called Costa Noa just south of Pescadero. Liz's brother Jonathan, sister-in-law Ginny and nephew Judah met us at Costa Noa for some R&R. Our final night on the left coast we spent with our friends Lynne and Andrew and their kids Sam and Leah. All-in-all a great trip.

father's lap in a music store in Santa Cruz.

We all walked down to the tide pools on our final morning at Costa Noa. It was a bit chilly but totally beautiful.

New Mexico in NYC

Team Liz got a surprise visit from our friend Ruth and her kids Avi and Isaiah. They were in town from New Mexico and came over for dinner and a couple of rounds of Scattagories. It was a truly fun and laugh out loud visit.

Grandma and Grandpa Kaiserman in NYC

Team Liz excitedly welcomed Judy and Carl to NYC. We spent a fun weekend together. Judy and Carl got to babysit for baby Jory as well as help us hang artwork in our apartment. We even got to enjoy a meal together with Uncle Mark.
