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.
Miriam and family took a quick Memorial Day trip up the Eastern seaboard to visit her two aunts in New York. First came Aunt Laura in the Big Apple, with the added bonus of her cousins Susan and Peggy who happened to be visiting from Tennessee. The crew went to the Central Park Zoo to see seals and penguins and polar bears (oh my!). Miri loved climbing in the turtle eggs. Then it was on to Rye, where Aunt Michelle and Uncle Dave finally got to meet the little redhead. Michelle toured us around town, pointing out all the places Miri's Grandpa Bob used to get in trouble. Her favorite place was the beach!
