Knotts Berry Farm

We love it when the cousins, Sophie and Daphne, come out to California to visit.  We headed to Knotts Berry Farm and the kids had a great time going on rollercoasters and hanging out all day together.  I had to put them in matching t-shirts because it's just too cute.  When will we see them again???

Happy 13th Noah

Happy 13th birthday to Noah!  This is the big year... the beginning of the teens... and we really wanted to do something really big but Noah knew exactly what he wanted.  He wanted to play sports with his friends.  We rented the soccer field and the basketball court and Noah had a great time with his buddies.  They noshed on pizza and chocolate cake from Susie Cakes.  We can't believe that he's already 13!  What will this year bring???

13

Noah is 13.  My chubby cheek boy is now 13.  He is in 7th grade and doing very well in school.  He is more confident and has good friends.  He is swimming much more and as you can see, taller than me!  He is working hard on his Bar Mitzvah studies and still a great big brother to Micah.  What will this 13th year bring???

Marina del Rey

The boys had a great time visiting Bubbe and spending time in the pool in Marina del Rey.  When will Bubbe come back and visit again???

Mom's weekend

This is our 6th Mom's weekend to Big Bear...  I can't believe that we still keep in touch with monthly dinners and keeping tabs with one another. I love my friends from the co-op and am so thankful for each and every one of them.  We have been through the toddler, elementary, and adolescent years with our kids, new home purchase, divorces, and now many of us are holding hands tight as we go through the teen years.  I'm so blessed to have these friends of mine.  When will we see each other again???
