We went to Birmingham to lead a few services at Michael's hometown synagogue, Temple Beth El (my hometown synagogue in Williamsburg is also called Temple Beth El). It was our first attempt to travel and "gig," as it were.
Last week when she was still not sleeping well after her illness, I was starting to get nervous about this trip - having to set up and perform three times + nonsleeping baby seemed like an ominous combination! Thank goodness we had lots of family and eager synagogue ladies to help us out. Even so, she had her worst night of sleep ever on Friday night, and given that we were already operating on a severe sleep debt from the week before, Eden and mommy were both kind of a fussy pants by Saturday afternoon!
But even with that, it was a super fun trip with lots of great moments like these (thanks to Bubbe for many of these photos):

| Baby cousins mat time |

She was smiling like crazy at all the synagoguegoers, 2 hours past her bedtime -
I didn't manage to capture it on camera, though |
 |
| She's a little too small for this one, but it was fun to try! |

| Snuggling with Nonnie at the end of a very fitful 24 hours of not sleeping! |

About to hit the road home -
she soiled 5 BIBS on the trip, but luckily received several more as a present |
