Uncle Judd visits

9-16-01: Monday, Mommy and Jessica drove down and met Daddy for lunch! It was a great time because we walked to lunch and Jessica saw her first train (the CalTrain.) Monday night was Rosh Hashonnah and Mommy, Daddy and Jessica went to Richard and Ami Gerstein's house in Belvedere for dinner. Jessica had a great time playing with the kids that were there and the neat toys that the Gerstein boys had. Tuesday, Ed de Maar came up to the city for the afternoon and for dinner. Wednesday night Jessica, Mommy and Daddy helped Aunt Tracy and Uncle Nick pack up their kitchen. Friday, Uncle Judd arrived for a weekend visit to say good-bye to Nick and Tracy before their move to Scottsdale. Jessica and Mommy started the day in the morning by taking Kristen and Madeline Hoft Rafa for a shopping trip in the East Bay with Sue Marston. Everyone went to pick up Uncle Judd in Oakland and we all went to Zachary's pizza for lunch, where Jessica sat in her highchair and still managed to snag Uncle Judd's plate from him and pull it into her lap when we weren't looking. Aunt Tracy and Uncle Nick joined Daddy, Jessica, Uncle Judd and Daddy at Duncan for dinner. Saturday, Duncan had a going away party for Uncle Nick, Aunt Tracy and Bree. Jessica had a great time with the other kids at the party and went to sleep as the party raged on! New tricks this week included Jessica waving "hi" to everyone on the street and clapping hands and saying "Yeah!" after crawling across the floor.
