Tot Shabbat and Other End of Month Happenings

With Uncle Keith in town...the boys are having a blast skate boarding and hanging out with him!

Tot Shabbat - Sponsored by the Barbag Family!

Fun at the neighbors:

Birthday Party Fun!

16 weeks old

Story time with Cherry.

Another BIG book from Derek's class:

Derek's Self Portraits throughout the school year.

One last dinner with Bauby and Zaidy:

Bauby shared her french onion soup.

The boys LOVED it!

Then they shared their ice cream with her!

These boys couldn't love one another more!

Crafts time!

Sharing means caring.

15 weeks and a whole lotta BOY.

I'm 15 weeks old...got a problem?

Derek made this picture of Cousin Laila (notice the curly hair, crown,
and he even gave her a pirate's patch --- he loves her so much)!

Getting better, but the treatments are still necessary.

The boys have a dance party!

Weekend!

It's the first weekend since Mommy has gone back to work and it was busy!

Don't I make these look good?

Ain't I cute?

14 weeks old!

Having a baby around is tiring!

Benji's hair is SO long!

Derek can't take his eyes off of him!

Ben is nearly as long as Derek!

Benji smiles everytime he hears Derek's voice!

Grandma is in Heaven!

What a curly cutie!

Grandma gets down to play with Benji.

After 4 years, Uncle Keithy Weithy has decided to move back to the states!

We're so happy to have him back!

Naptime!

Uncle Keith walked out in this getup (in preparation for Comicon).  Derek immediately said, "Uncle Keith, I know it's you....because I can see your feet!"  Josh was not nearly has excited (he got scared immediately).  Derek was lucky enough to try on the costume!!

Don't worry.  Papa knows just what to do to make Josh happy again:

Papadore & Giggling Josh

The boys were completely healthy for the entire time Mommy was on Maternity Leave.  They waited for her to go back to work to get sick, of course!  Derek had an upper respiratory "thing," Josh had pnemonia, and Benji had bronchiolitis!  Sooooooo fun, all around!

Little Benji getting a "treatment" at 14 weeks old.

Josh LOVES to help out!

Another BIG book from Derek's class!

"Goodnight baseball mitts."

Being a big brother is still wearing this kid out!

Alan, Daddy's college roommate, was in for a quick visit!  It was SO EXCITING to see him!!!

Derek began T-ball and Soccer this week!  He really enjoys both, but seems to like t-ball more right now (because the cleats don't hurt his feet like they do in soccer --- since he's in his sneakers)!

He's learning the basics:

Point.

Step.

Throw.

Yeah!

Josh gives it a go!

Alligator Hands to field the grounder.

Benji's not too into it.

Josh likes the show!

Batter up!

Derek warm up running the bases

Bauby M and Zaidy Shelly are in town, so we head down to Hollywood!

Josh always wants to hold Baby Benji.

So, Baub, did he grow since the last time you saw him?

Derek was so excited to see Zaidy Shelly.

Sunday morning we got up and headed to the soccer field!

From one zombie baby...

....to another!
