T-Ball Again

Benji was a little bored in the outfield this week, although he did make a great play at one point -- scooping up the ball and throwing it to first base.  Tamar and Daniel loved playing on a quilt while hanging out at the t-ball game.  --Victoria

Back to School + Happy Babies

Sorry about the blog silence...  The older they get, the busier we get.  This is Benji's first day of kindergarten (still at Sela, the Hebrew language school), and a cute one of Daniel and Tamar.  --Victoria

Afternoon at the Park

T-Ball Practice

Benji and I sometimes practice in the park after school or on the weekend.  The babies came along (and were parked safely behind a tree) but were apparently exhausted from sitting in their stroller while we practiced.  --Victoria

Photo from May (Bus to School)

Benji rode the bus to Sela and I would often take the babies to the bus stop to pick him up.  His friend Lucas also rides the bus and also has a baby brother (Nicholas, 3 weeks older than our twins), so there would sometimes be three babies waiting for the bus to arrive.  One day, the bus got a flat tire just before it pulled up to our stop.  --Victoria

Fourth of July Friends

Our friends Jessica and Ross Chapman visited from Pennsylvania on the Fourth of July weekend, with their sons Jonah (10) and Ari (4).  Benji and Ari had a great time, particularly at the Yards Park "pool" (which is only 10" deep).  In this photo, they're taking a break from swimming to eat sandwiches for lunch.  --Victoria

Spotty Mommy

Benji does art projects at his summer camp.  A few days ago, the children decorated images of themselves, which were then put up on the wall in the hallway at the rec center where the camp is held.  I asked Benji to show me the image he made.  Here it is:

When I saw this, I asked him why he had spots.  He said, "Mommy, it's YOU, and you have RACECAR PANTS...  and you have spots because...  you're sick.  But you have a cool nose!"

Great.
