Chris and Erica met in Mississippi. Erica was in her second year of Teach For America and Chris was running the Sunflower County Freedom Project. They were married in Indianola, Mississippi, in 2004. They welcomed Miriam Frances in November of 2007; Robin Arielle arrived in December 2009. Erica ordained as a rabbi in May of 2008 and the family moved to the Washington, DC area. Chris is working on his next book, a history of race in Washington, DC and Erica is a rabbi at Temple Sinai in DC.
Now that Miri is a little bit older, she is interacting with the cats a little bit more. She loves to pet them (well, grab their fur) and stares at them when they walk by. The cats are remarkably good at tolerating Miriam reaching out and touching them -- those Delta cats are a special breed. In fact, they often want to cuddle with our little cutie or try out Miri's toys (her tummy time lady bug and her bouncy seat, but not the bath yet). We couldn't resist snapping a few shots -- check out Thunder and Lightning making a Miri sandwich.
