Pesach

Grateful. Sometimes I just repeat in my head over and over "Baruch Hashem, Baruch Hashem, Baruch Hashem" like a mantra until I do not remember I am saying it. When there is so very much to be grateful for... it is hard not to get overwhelmed at times.

Ian

A report card that makes us shep. His entire report card was just perfect. We are so proud, but the best part is he seems to enjoy himself while learning.

The best surprise has been his story-writing abilities. His creative writing is amazing and his teachers are impressed too. A recent Fog and Toad story had us really amazed.

Right now the boys are into Crazy Bones - which we pleasantly discovered are only a dollar a bag!

Daron

Daron is still doing amazingly in school- he comes home with knowledge that shocks us. He has also matured tremendously recently and is such a pleasure.
The dude loves to play games - any game - any time

Yesterday he asked the babysitter (boo) if she was going to have a baby. He tries hard every day and succeeds at being a great kid, great brother and student.

Rory Run

That's what she does, she doesnt stop moving for a minute - always on the go on the run.
Last Thursday - April 3 she had tubes put in her ears. She freaked out afterwards and got a double ear infection after as well - lovely. But she seems to be on the mend. ver

And almost immediately she started saying more words or parts of words- she's got "cat" and "cheese" and "sh" for shoes and "s" for sit and Dada for Dada and "dd" for Daron and "more" and more and more and it is really amazing.

She does have a large sign language vocab - here are some
