Ani mamim - this i believe

 

Justin gave the most amazing speech this morning at Schechter.  He talked about overcoming struggles and working hard for what you wanted.  The Q&A section was amazing as he smoothly fielded questions from the kids ranging from his basketball stats to his work ethic.  We are beyond proud of this kid!

Mass Commanders Bball!

 

If I haven't said it before - Justin is now all in on basketball.  In the spring he really started loving it but this fall solidified it.  He will be playing on three teams this winter!  

Bonus to have Eitan on the same team!

Randoms!

Flag football

 Schechter has a flag football team for 7th and 8th graders.  Justin was going to join no doubt!  Because of the practice times we were going to be driving in circles with the boys.  So we asked the coach if Ezra could join (he is in 6th grade) just to practice.  And he said yes!  Turns out they didn't have enough players so Ezra is officially on the team!  Fun to see them play together

Seth in HS?!?

 

Hairspray!

Despite Justin's lack of smile - we all loved this!  Really wonderful :-)

 

Spirit Week at South!

 

Anything but a backpack pictured above - and i have no idea what below is supposed to be.  All I care about are the big smiles from Seth!

A house full of teenagers?

Seth = 16 / Justin = 14 next month / Ezra = 12 next month (although feels like a teenager ;-)) We are blessed with a wonderful house of teenagers!
