January

After Ari and I got back from Thailand, it was life back to normal.  Zev had a performance with his class at school.  That is his friend Rita behind him. She has been teaching him gymnastics at recess.

The boys and I spent an afternoon painting these hearts and getting ready for Valentine's Day. 

Zev spent his time outside building a hammock. 

Tahl won the third place for the first graders in the pinewood derby.

Here he is with the other first graders. 

Ari recovered our dining room chairs for the new homework room. 

Ari sanded down and restained the kitchen table.  That is it in the center. 

Ari built the desk with the computer on it from scratch.  He did an amazing job. We love our new room do do homework and use the computer in. 

Zev decided to sleep in a box for a few nights. 

Here is Tahl at Sunday school. Music is his favorite part. 

Isaac is so big, he can climb to the top of anything now, and he is really proud of that. 

Tahl had a big 100th day of school. He looked too cute in his hat. 

Tahl let Isaac borrow his Elsa pajamas.  Isaac was very thankful to be using one of Tahl's most treasured possessions. 

Here is Isaac on a walk with his "suitcase." He is too funny. 

And also, the cutest ever. 

Tahl wrote a cute paper for Ari.  This is a picture of he and Ari. 

Here is his paper. It says, "When I am older, I hope to follow in the footsteps of my Dad. Because he is the srongist Dad. and he knows how to fix anything. and he is the gratest person at cooking I know."

Zev finally finished his first round of rock tumbling. He was really proud of his awesome rocks.

Here is Zevi getting his first stripe on his green belt. 

It was a busy January!
