Holidays, Fall 2015

 We went to Danbury for Rosh Hashana and had a great time.

Sophie brought all her friends: Sweety Girl, Alie Swoosh, Sassie Pants, Bella and Maggie.

Just hanging out.

Not sure why, but Sophie doesn't look too happy.

Ahhh.  Now she's happy.  So is everyone else!

Hey, look who's here. Hi Jordan!

Poor guy doesn't get any attention!

You're on!

Time for everyone to get their hair done.

 Time to head out.  Happy New Year everyone!

 Had to get home to go to services

Hanging out after services with her friend Claire.

And mom made the most wonderful dinner and we invited our friends the Miller's.  Sophie is saying the prayers. 

Yom Kippur came quickly, and we were on our way back to services.

It's become a little tradition to go apple picking on Yom Kippur.  All we need a bow and arrow.

That's how you get the good apples up high!!

And a little climbing.

Shana Tova to all.

Little Rhino and Red Belt!

Everyone is doing Karate.  Sophie joined Little Rhinos

A quick snack after a session

Sophie already has been promoted and got her Camouflage belt.  Congratulations Soph on your first new belt!

Meanwhile, Noah went to test for his Red Belt.  A Red Belt is a big deal.  It is the last belt before Black Belt (well, there's "advanced red" he will have to get first).  But this was a tough test of skill, strength, and stamina.

Sparring.

He was awesome!  Congratulations Noah!

The "Karate Kids".  Noah with his new red belt, Sohpie with her new Camo belt, and Master Walker and Master Marvill.

First days of school

Oh my.  4th grade???  First day of school.  So so big and grown up.

Have a great time and great year Noah!

And Sophie too!!  First day of Kindergarten!!!?   So pretty, so grown up, so happy.

Wow.  Have a wonderful great day and great year.  

Noah's 9th Birthday Party

For Noah's 9th birthday, we had a game truck come to our house and he and his friend, when they were done shooting everyone, played 2 hours of video games.  Check out the cake above. 

This is the truck.  Enough for 12 kids to play on 4 or 6 different consoles.  They were pretty excited.

Inside the truck

Even Sophie got into the act....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOAH!  HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT TIME!

Fun on the Cape part 2

Still lots more to do. Our rental house had a pool table for some mean games

And look who won a few hundred tickets at the arcade??

And him too!!

An "almost sleep over" with all the girls.  The girl's room was downstairs, and it didn't last too long.

Picture speaks for itself.

Sophie is VERY picky who she lets do her hair.  But auntie Laurie is now on the good list.

Ahh.  Life is good.

Cape Cod hairstyles!

Back out on the patio.  Gosh they all look big don't they?

A visit to Wellfleet.  HUGE waves and fun sand.

Dad's FAVORITE picture!

August 14th.   Happy birthday Noah.  Oh no...not another shooter???

Hanging out, figuring out what the day will bring.

For Noah's birthday, we went to the inflatable water park.  It was pretty awesome.  

 Sophie was the first to master the Big Balls.  There she goes.  Everyone got across though.

 Check this out.  Sophie running by at the beginning and Noah coming down the slide.  If this doesn't work, check out

Last day at the Cape, and more fun by the pool and in the hot tub.

And one fun last lunch before we pack up and make the drive home.   What a great week. Can't wait til next year!
