Halloween

This is the first year we received direct orders from Zach on what kind of costume he wanted purchased. For years prior, we could coerce him to wear something we thought appropriately "represented" him that year. Josh and I also decided to appease Zach by dressing up since he questioned our Halloween spirit last year. The best part was running into 10 old friends and being the only one in costume; that was exciting. Zachy was Darth Vadar and our Jeremy was the incredible hulk; since he's so big (wink wink). We had pizza with neighbors and walked around this amazingly fun neighborhood of ours!

Calabasas Pumpkin Festival

Self Portrait

We came across these gems one day while downloading pictures off the camera. We think it's pretty funny; but possibly troubling. :)

Shabbat with Batya

Zachy has a little friend at school named Batya. They're pretty wild together. Her family graciously invited us over for Shabbat Dinner. Of course, a good time was had by all!

Red Carpet

Here is our first red carpet experience...



Did we fool you? It's just Josh's annual work event; this year at Paramount Studios.

Simchat Torah

It's definitely that time of year for us. Lots of preschool closures and Jewish Holidays. Simchat Torah was especially enjoyable for us this year. Zach knows so much about the holidays now that he is literally teaching us. We were able to see the entire sroll rolled out around the room. We celebrated and danced with the torahs at temple.

Sukkot

Zach's preschool built a beautiful sukkot and invited all of the families for dinner. He was so proud to show off all of his hard work!

Zach and Jeremy

I might have the best boys on the planet. Zach, from day one has been unbelievably good with Jeremy. Now that Jeremy is up in Zach's business a little more; there are definitely times when sharing is not a top priority. I can't blame the kid, but that is the only time when we have any trouble in this house. My personal favorite is hearing Zach call out "Hey Jer," or "What about Jer," It's so cute. And watching Jeremy look up to Zach is equally pleasing. Jeremy LOVES Zach; he laughs at him, hugs him, follows him. The two of them together have learned to conjure up quite bit of trouble already. I love watching them form the friendship that will last their entire lives. They are both so special to me.

Back to School

Labor Day Weekend

We took a much needed and well-deserved long weekend in Orange County. We had a lot of pool time, arts and crafts, walks, icecream and tried to relax as much as we could with two kids in tow.
