Chess #1

Noah received the first place chess trophy from Chess Tutors for session 2.  He has enjoyed playing chess all these years and we hope that when he goes to middle school there will be opportunities for him to continue playing.  What other interests will Noah have???

Classic candy puzzle

Micah received this 1,000 piece puzzle over the holidays.  We finally had some time to take it out and the boys took about a week to complete it.  They really liked seeing all the different kinds of candy from the past.  When will they work on their next puzzle???

Strolling the neighborhood

This past weekend, we took the opportunity to go through our neighborhood and walk through the trails. We walked about two miles and saw the Tongva Discovery Center.  It was very interesting to read about the history of the Native Americans who lived here before us.  We enjoyed going through the neighborhood.  When will we get a chance to walk through the bluffs???

Expanders

Micah was so excited to see the orthodontist to get expanders... but once it happened the excitement left and tears followed.  Micah has to widen his mouth so he has upper and lower expanders.  It was very uncomfortable for him and it took a long time for him to adjust.  Afterwards, we went to 31 Flavors where he got a World Class Chocolate shake so that made him feel better.  Will we have to go back to 31 Flavors every time we see the ortho???

Promises

Our first rainbow in Playa Vista.  Promises.  The future looks bright.  What's in store for us in 2018???

LACMA

Today we went to LACMA to see Chagall's show:  Fantasies for the Stage.  The boys were not that interested in the costumes but they did like the Jeff Koons sculpture. When will we go back to LACMA???
