Best friends

Jawsh painted this while he lived with Jay on Wellesley Ave.  It's been unframed for quite a few years and finally Jawsh found the right occasion to gift it to Jay-- his housewarming/birthday present.  These two have been friends for many, many years and I hope that my boys will keep their childhood friendships just as these two have.  Who will Noah and Micah be sharing an apartment with in 15 years????

A great season

This was a special basketball team... There were some really talented kids on the team who treated everyone equally and passed the ball even to the least experienced players.  They were generous on and off the court and no one ever felt bad after a game.  This had a lot to do with the coaching, the parents, and the kids and I'm just really glad Noah was part of this team.  I think he must've felt something too because he wants to play another season!!!  Here they are after their last game celebrating with frozen yogurt!  When will the next season start???

Astros!

Micah loves playing baseball.  He is on the team with his buds from school so he's having a great time going to practice, games, and hanging out on the weekends.  Will he want to play baseball next year???

Walking Watts

Micah is always ready to take Watts on a walk.  Now that Watts is getting older he doesn't walk as much but he still likes to go out.  Micah has a special place in his heart for dogs (he still liked to donate money and presents to the dog shelter).  He's a real loving kid.. will we ever get a dog of our own???

Loving on Watts

While Micah walk Watts, Noah likes to sit with him and pet him.  Doesn't Watts look like a puppy???

Catch a leprechaun

Micah is on the hunt to catch a leprechaun!  There have been leprechauns on the loose in his classroom who have been making messes, playing in their class, and touching the students belongings so the teachers tasked the children to make a trap.  Micah loves his trap (made from a recycled protein powder can) and he thinks he will catch one!  Will it work???

The Broad Stage

Today I was a chaperone on Micah's field trip to the Broad Stage in Santa Monica.  The students learned the music and lyrics to all the songs that were presented and they had such a great time.  When we arrived back at school, the whole room was trashed by leprechauns!  The kids were going nuts and looking for clues and had an assignment to create a leprechaun trap.  I could see how much fun and enjoyment Micah is having at school and I feel so lucky that he gets to experience this all.  What cluster will he be in next year???

MJ!

Micah got a Michael Jordan card in his snack bag after his basketball game and I convinced him to sell it to me for $2!  I wonder when he will ask for it back???
