Disneyland Concert Hall

Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah...  5 months later!  Jawsh bought tickets to the Walt Disney Concert Hall for us to see Dudamel conducting Mozart and Mendelssohn.  It was a beautiful concert... when will we go again???

Jog-a-thon

Noah had such a fun time at the Jog-a-thon.  I really enjoyed it because it was a FUNraiser and not a fundraiser (the school met it's fundraising goal this year).  There was a track, obstacle course, and then a schoolwide celebration afterwards.  Micah was there rooting for his brother and enjoyed giving the runners high fives!    Will Noah get into track???

Last Day of School

Today is the last day of preschool for Micah.  I am so thankful that he had this experience to learn and socialize through play.  There are not a lot of co-op preschools in Los Angeles and these past few years have been wonderful.  We have met a lot of caring families here and it's been so nice to be part of this community.  Will Micah's kindergarten experience be as wonderful???

Enjoying Endeavour

Noah's last class fieldtrip was to the California Science Center.  The kids were split into groups and went through the various exhibits.  Then we went into the 3D movie, Arctic.  About 15 minutes into the movie, Noah asked to leave.  He said there were three reasons why he wanted to leave.  1.  It was too loud. 2.  It was too scary.  3.  He didn't like it.  So we exited the movie and waited for the rest of his class.  The final stop was at the Endeavour Shuttle.  It was pretty amazing to see the shuttle up close.  Noah had a great time.  When will Micah get to see the shuttle???

Go Angels!

The job perks have kicked in!  Jawsh received 4 Angels tickets and we enjoyed the baseball game in high style... Diamond parking and Field Level seats!  The boys enjoyed walking around the stadium, eating cotton candy, and cheering for the Angels with their foam fingers!  It was a nice evening... what tickets will Jawsh score next???

Korean School

Noah finished two full semesters of Korean school and passed to the next level, 1B.  Noah had an interesting second half of Korean school with a different teacher.  She was a little more strict but had him focused and reading in Korean.  Noah has made a lot of new friends and actually enjoys going to Korean school... so much so that Micah is looking forward to attending next year!  Will Micah enjoy Korean school as much as Noah???

Children's Film Festival

We ventured to downtown LA to check out the annual REDCAT International Children’s Film Festival with Bubbe.  Everyone enjoyed the shorts it and it was so cool to see different animations from around the world.  I wonder if it inspired the boys the same way it inspired their dad???

Cousins are our first friends

The kids love their superhero pajamas!  Spiderman, Hulk. and Iron Man. Too bad Emma was already in bed.  Any guess as to which superhero she likes???

Good bye Goldie

Goodbye to our sweetest dog Goldie.  She went to doggy heaven this morning and we are thankful that we got to say our goodbyes.  It was pretty emotional for all of us, but poor Noah took it very hard.  We retold the story of how we met Goldie several times and we talked about our favorite things about her.  My mom and I met Goldie by chance in front of a pet store... she was brought from a shelter in Yucaipa. We were picking up Watts early from a grooming appointment and thought it would be nice for him to have a friend.  The first dog we chose was Goldie's brother but my Mom did not want two boys.  We then picked out Goldie and she was very shy and docile.  We thought it would be a perfect fit.  The boys will always remember how she would lick them in the face when they walked through the door...  she was a licker.  Watts and Goldie were best buds and we will miss her terribly.  Noah says he will see her again when we are all in heaven... isn't that the best thing a kid could say???

Lake Tahoe

We had a wonderful time in Lake Tahoe.  Although it was a bit overcast, we had a nice time.  I didn't realize how large the lake was and we definitely would like to come back in the summer.  When will that happen???

Cat time

The boys love going to Reno.  We had a nice brunch with the family and the boys loved playing in the backyard.  Noah was busy spending time with Uncle Steve and Micah loved being in the tent with the cats.   What will tomorrow bring???
