(Community Matters) Steven and I are really lucky to usually be invited to several Seders. We’ve learned to simply accept the first invite since we’d have a great time at any of the friends’. This year, we joined the Rudys – Amy, Kirk, Ellie, Sam & Alex (missed you Haylie) – and another 30 or so friends, many quite young.
apologies up front – I forgot my camera so relying on the blackberry:
super combination of seriousness and levity. bounced around a bit while reading the Haggadah, which is my preferred form 🙂
Since Amy was sweet enough to ask me to place people, I was a wee bit selfish, seating myself next to Janice Falick (Kirk’s mom) and Steven next to Jim Falick (Kirk’s stepdad) – we adore these two. Also loved meeting Liz McDaniel Watson’s mom, Gwen. It was Cooper Watson’s first time at a Seder.
First time I’ve met Robert Hersch who’s seems as fun as Kate. Their kids are a total hoot too. Andy & Laura Pastor’s boys are way too cute – an 8 year old and two younger twins, all boys.
Lots of young people, I think 14 or 15, ranging in age from 3 to 15. Plus Sam Rudy and Kristen at 17; Sam soon to be @ the University of Colorado.
Leave it to Amy to weave in fun rituals – there was a Passover pinata too; the kids loved it.
