Happy Birthday Jordan!


Today was Jordan's first birthday! It was a good party (though we lost the footage of the cake and candles being blown out!). Here's my favorite picture from the party and a few videos of Jordan enjoying her daddy's chocolate cake.



Jordan begins eating her cake and demonstrates her ability to use utensils (sort of).


Now she's getting into it. This cake and ice cream thing may be ok.


Baby is displeased! Baby smash!

Book Review

The Yiddish Policemen's Union: A Novel The Yiddish Policemen's Union: A Novel by Michael Chabon


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was the first book from Michael Chabon that I've read. Overall I enjoyed the story and the setting though sometimes the Yiddish slang and terminology was briefly confusing. Though everything was explained in an appendix I think I would have preferred to have them footnoted when they were introduced. Though the story was good it didn't really grab me like I was hoping it would.
