Moving on up...

Zak's days of downstairs preschool are officially over.  In September, he moves upstairs to Pre-K and he's officially "a big kid".  In his words, "the biggest".  And as usual, the happiest smile for his much loved teachers.

Gotcha Day 4 Years

4 years ago today this silly little face lit up the room and our lives.  Every day since has been an event...we learn something, we teach something, we laugh, we cry, we run, we jump, we run and jump some more.  Van's joy is contagious and we couldn't ask for a better thing to catch.
Love this big brother with all our hearts.  Happy Gotcha Day Van!

Field Day

First ever field day for our household and excited hardly begins to describe the feeling.   Mom got to watch while Van took field day by storm.  This soon to be 1st grader had an absolute blast!

Summer Cuts

Mohawks to buzzed...the new summer "do" for the brothers.  Also featuring Ninja headgear for a fantastic Ninja birthday party that included board breaking stunts and hula-hoops.   Oh and another lost   

tooth.  Weekends don't get much better than this.

Spring Break

We took advantage of Daddy's work hotel room and had a spring break adventure.  What's not to love about a hotel, airplanes, hair dye and mini golf?

Happy Easter to all our Peeps!

As usual, the boys had a SWEET day!  Lots of fun treats were prepared and consumed.  Magic jelly beans turned into Giant Lollipops and fun was had by all!

Twist, Shout, Calypso and the ToothFairy

How's that for a weekend of fun?  We surprised the boys with a trip to Baltimore.  First stop, The Lyric theater to see "The Fresh Beat Band".  They rocked the house of toddlers and tots and served "Mommy and Daddy drinks" at the concession stand...what could be better?  How about  Zak falling asleep during the last song!  Next stop, a hotel.  We realized that the boys have not been in a hotel since we were in China.   They were beyond excited.  Beds to jump on, a pool inside and lots of hallways and elevators to explore.  Today we hit the Baltimore Aquarium for more fun.  Van fell in love with a giant turtle named Calypso who was rescued off the coast of New York in freezing waters and lost a flipper after his recovery.  We got to see feeding time with all the divers so that was a huge bonus.  The dolphin show was another hit.  Bonus excitement of the day-- Zak finally losing his loose tooth as the dolphins hit the stage.  Great road trip weekend for all.
