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.
The rains stopped long enough for us to squeeze in a camping trip last weekend. It was a full family affair -- Robin & Miri, their cousin Pearce, and all four parents. The girls love the outdoors, and Robin managed to sleep even as the rest of us loudly made s'mores, read stories, and played flashlight tag in the drizzle. We tried out our new family tent, and it survived the overnight downpour.

Quite an adventure and a good memory for all.
