Tamar's School of Manners

Conversation from a few evenings ago:


--------------------


Tamar:  Mommy, what are you doing?


Victoria:  I'm fixing Daddy's coat.


Tamar:  You're fixing Daddy's coat?


Victoria:  Yes.


Tamar:  Daddy?


Aaron:  Yes Tamar?


Tamar:  Mommy is fixing your coat.  You need to say thank you to her.


[of course, he did]

Longwood Gardens visit (part 3)

These photos are from inside a very fancy treehouse and from an attempted group photo at the Longwood Gardens Visitor Center.  We couldn't get Tamar and Daniel to sit still and stay with the group, unfortunately!  In the final photo, you can just see Benji poking his head out from behind Xavi's shoulder.

Daycare Drop Off

Last week, I had to take Tamar and Daniel into Benji's school to talk to the teacher about setting up a parent teacher conference.  This made us late for daycare and the day had already started Circle Time by the time we arrived.  Tamar and Daniel didn't want me to leave so I sat with the class for a few minutes to help them transition into their routine.  The teachers were having each student come to the front of the class and use a ruler to point out different colors or shapes.  They cleverly had Daniel take the next turn, then had Tamar come and join him to "help him out" so that I could slip out of the room (but not before I took a few photos . . .).


I am so grateful that they are at this wonderful daycare AND I am so grateful that I got a chance to see what part of their day looks like.

Last Saturday

Xavi came over for a playdate with Benji and the boys played a game called King of Tokyo.  Tamar read to Daniel while he cooked for her.

Traveling home from New Jersey

The kids were great travelers!  I was glad I had remembered to pick up some sticker books and new coloring books.  There was also a fair amount of sleeping during the trip -- thank goodness.

Twins at the bar mitzvah

You know a family of FIVE is visiting . . .

. . . I can't believe how many shoes we had to bring for a simple two-day visit!  --Victoria

Benji at cousin Jacob's bar mitzvah

My handsome big boy!  Aaron's father, Yuri, has a great eye for clothes and got formal outfits for all the kids.  Benji looked great and busted out some amazing dance moves after these photos, when the dancing started.
