I forgot to say that at Shabbat dinner last week (with the priest, Unitarian Universalist, and Baptist over for dinner) I was explaining the Shabbat imagery. "The three braids of the challah symbolize the three main pillars of Judaism," I said, "Torah, the people Israel, and... and... [turning to the other rabbinical student] Nicole, I'm blanking out, what's the third?" "Um, GOD!" she retorted. Everyone cracked up. I'm a bad, bad chaplain. Who apparently needs theology lessons.
And also, Xander has quite a memory. We have this little book with pictures of planes, and when we read it today he waved to the stunt airplane and said "bye-bye!" We didn't know why. Then I remembered that last time we had read the book Jonathan had told him that it was a biplane. Biplane = bye plane. That's pretty good for a 21 month old!

By the way, I love your captions!
Thanks Lynn and Savta. He's a smart, photogenic boy! We can't ask for anything more.
And I confess... I posted the pictures but was feeling brain-dead so all the comments were Jonathan's. We make a good team!
The two of you do make a good team, and let's face it...Jonathan has a way with words, and with pictures as well.
