Thanksgiving Feast at Justin's School

 Justin's school had a thanksgiving feast today for the whole pre-school.  Each class baked cookies, or cakes and made a vegetable soup!  We sang songs then the kids ate the feast.  Thanks to Nana for coming!

Happy 4th Birthday Justin!!!

We want to wish a HUGE happy 4th birthday to our Justin.  We love you with all our heart!!!  You are such a blessing in our lives everyday.  Over the last year, Justin has really become a little boy.  He has come out of his big brothers shadow (although he loves his brothers immensely!) and has found more of his voice.  At dinner he can often be heard saying "I was talking first," to try to finish a story.  He loves to play with action figures and still loves to watch tv upside down on the couch.  He is a great friend to his bff and is exploring and making new friends at school.  Justin loves dress up - and is still our collector.  At the end of the day you could find the most interesting toys and knick-knacks in his pockets or backpack.  He is such a sweet boy.  He is still our snuggler and such a wonderful boy.  We love you!!!

Justin's Shabbat Helper/Birthday Celebration

The birthday celebration begins....  We were invited to celebrate Shabbat in Justin's pre-school class and to celebrate Justin's birthday.  His class was so cute and we were so impressed with how much they have learned already this year!  Justin was so happy and proud to have us with him.  Seth was sad (and Grandma and Pa) that he could not join - but we saved him a cookie and he will be here for the rest of the celebrations.

Ezra singing

Today was the first day I remember Ezra singing.  He sang the sh'ma prayer with Justin and I that we say before bed.  Then he sang "day is done" with me as I put him to sleep.  So cute!!!  I will try to get video soon...

My Justin...

Special Guest at Time for Partners

 Justin had teacher conferences today (he is doing great!).  With no school we brought Justin to Ezra's music and art class.  The boys were really cute together - fun!

SNOW!!!

 It was snowing during Ezra's playgroup - and these 2 year olds didn't get to see much snow last winter and they probably don't remember it.  They were so excited!!!

Election Day!!!

Last soccer game of the fall

 Seth and Coach Jerald had a great fall soccer season.  Seth loved that Jerald was the coach - he did a great job!  Ezra, Justin and I were great cheerleaders.  Although, Seth told me not to cheer while he was playing because it was distracting to him :-)  Go team Orange!!!

Time for Partners

 A very silly name for a really awesome class!  Ezra got dragged to this class for 6 months as a baby while Justin and I got to do art projects and sing and dance in music.  Now Ezra gets to have fun with some of his friends!

 Ezra and his buddy Luke!

Halloween 2012

 We had a great halloween with our house full of spidermen!  We met up with our neighbors to walk around the block and then we drove 4 minutes to a street that is known for their halloween celebrations.  There was fresh popcorn, halloween cartoons playing on the side of a house and even a live band playing on the porch of one house.  Lots of fun!
