Music is very important in our home. We listen to all kinds of music - jazz, blues, rock, folk, pop, children's music, world, classical, show music... Brooke sings in a classical chorus, plays guitar, and used to play the cello. Mindee used to play the flute. Benjamin is passionate about music, and on weekends, we often "jam" together.

Other family things we like doing together are cooking, eating, making art projects, going to the playground, playing games, having playdates, and visiting with friends.

We plan to raise our children in the Jewish faith, but with our extended families, we celebrate many traditions. We celebrate many of the Jewish holidays with Mindee's family, including Chanukah and the Jewish new year. We spend Christmas with Brooke's mother and her family.

Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays. We also love to celebrate birthdays - Benjamin's, ours, our families', our friends'...
