Major update

Where did April go? This has been the busiest month, by far; I do apologize to our readers. Here is a quick run down of the last month, with photos: Our first photo is from passover- we went to two seders this year, including our first LGBT seder at the DU Hillel (aint Jeremy dapper!).  Jeremy was calling everything "shank bone" for a few weeks afterwards, including sticks, tater tots, etc.  Then, Fran turned 40 this month and we resumed our "annual" spring party with about 50 guests, including lots of young ones. 

At some point in there Jeremy had a wonderful visit from his god-parents (Mimi and Tate), and more recently a visit from Papa and his Uncle David Judah (and his girlfriend, Aviva). Jeremy just eats up all this male energy!


Finally, two important things happened this past month: first, Jeremy was given a real 1/32 size violin by his Bubbe Ellen (so now he has three violins to play with- two real and one toy), and he had minor surgery (yesterday, in fact) to insert tubes in his ears. He is responding beautifully, already seeming to have better balance and mood. The doc also says that his hearing will improve significantly; it is hard to know what that will mean, considering his verbal and musical development so far. An example of both can be illustrated in the following story: After watching a 7 yr old's violin lesson (for a half hour), Fran asked Jeremy if he wanted to take lessons. His response, "Jeremy's turn violin lesson" (!)
