Soccer!

Tamar and Daniel are signed up for soccer this fall and this morning was the first day.  Benji came with us and helped out, including giving demonstrations of what the coach was asking for.

If you click HERE, you'll see a video of Benji demonstrating dribbling a soccer ball, and then Daniel following him.

In the picture below, Benji is in the blue shirt, passing the ball along to Tamar.

In the picture below, Benji waits his turn while Tamar demonstrates just how BORED she is (it was temporary).

In the picture below, Daniel is on the right in the orange shirt.

In the picture below, Tamar is on the left, in the pink shirt.

Before we got there, Tamar complained long and loud that she didn't want to go to soccer and she didn't like soccer.  Once we arrived, she was the best listener and participated the most!  She did a great job.

Cousins from Israel

These are photos from earlier in the summer, when we spent some time (in DC and in North Carolina) with Aaron's cousin Yossi, his wife Mieko, and their children Reina and Eitan (our children's cousins).  They went to a "dinosaur park" and had this amazing photo taken.  The last day of our time with them, Tamar was very upset about not seeing Reina again for a long time and I was only partly able to console her by taking the photos below (photobomb by Daniel, of course)

Mystery Object

This was on the curb down the street from our house as we walked to the car last week.  The kids had no idea what it was.  We left it for someone else because obviously it IS haunted.  :)
