Family fun - visitors and locals

Aunt Janice and Uncle Josh were in for a few short hours, but we sure got a lot in!  They watched the boys' tball practice and had dinner with Mommy and Bubby and Zaide and Bauby and Zaidy!  It was SO lovely to see them, even if for such a short period of time.

Benji shows off his cubbies love!

The two Josh's hanging out.

So much love in one little picture.

At school, Derek has taken a few different enrichment classes (Basketball, Soccer, Engineering, and Cooking)!  Derek loves the cooking with Chef Eric because he makes all sorts of different treats...and then gets to take them home to eat!!

Making Creme Brulee -- and, yes, they went outside and had a chance to torch their creation!

Chicken Pot Pie!

In the meantime, Derek is trying his hat at DJ-ing --- thanks, Lamika, for this gem!

Josh had a blast at his pal's birthday party -- playground, splash pad, friends, and fun!  What's not to love?!

Finally mustered up the courage to run through.

He loved the mini party hat and the multi-colored bagel (check the table)!

Josh Party Splash Pad

Josh tries his hand at shuffle board while visiting Bauby and Zaidy - the courts are just below their balcony!!!

But helping unpack all of these boxes is exhausting!

Derek's thinking map on his traditions:

Mommy's annual outing to the Miami Open with Bubby, Zaidy, Sandy, and Larry Masters!

A beautiful day for tennis!

Josh's Intergenerational Programming allowed him to perform for his Grands and Great-Grands!!

His class performed a few songs:

Josh - This Land Is Your Land

Josh - On Top Of Spaghetti

So proud!

Does this kid know what to do with a s'more, or what?

Josh shows off this money shot!

Loving with Safta.

He's growing up SO fast -- before we know it, 
that won't be a bubble goatee.

Of course, there's another Shabbat Abba in the house!  Benji enjoys the day with Grandma, Safta, and Bubby.

Abbaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Prayers with Grandma.

B & Z move to FL!

What a strange new world -- Bauby M and Zaidy Shelly have moved to Boca Raton!  We cannot be happier!!!

Uncle David came to town to visit and help set up B & Z in their new apartment.

Story time is always a treat with Uncle David!

Derek makes sure his bike helmet is on correctly.

Bauby, Zaidy, and Uncle David stayed with us for a few days until their apartment was in "sleeping" order (and all of their furniture arrived).  It was a great treat!

Benji can get used to this!

So can Joshie!

Family is the best!

Let the real work begin!

Only a few boxes to sort through.

Wouldn't be a Pevsner home without the leather dog!

Saving this for the last touch!

Careful, Baub -- stickered items are replaceable!

The best part about the new place?  The speed limit!  Have you ever seen anything like it?!

Welcome to the neighborhood Bauby and Zaidy!!!

Marlins, Math Fun, and Babysitting Fun

Marlins have had a great season, so far, winning every game! Both boys love going to practice and playing in the games.  Josh has really taken to the game and is a solid hitter.  Derek has made some great fielding plays.  It's really been fun to watch!

Grandma treated the boys to treats after the game!

I don't think they enjoyed it one bit!

Math is fun -- especially if you link art to it! George Hart, a mathematics professor and artist, visited North Broward and showed all sorts of mathematical art.  His website, http://georgehart.com/, is wonderful!  It's for all levels of mathematics --- so, check it out!

Mommy worked with her team to create some neat sculptures!

Then the students used the school's laser printer to cut these pieces,
dye them, and then construct the sculpture -- it now hangs in the schools foyer!

Mommy always has students asking if they can laser cut a hall pass or 3D print a bust of her.  But, her student, Ke Jin (Rachel), asked if she could do 3D prints of the boys!  How amazing is that?  Here's the process:

Once Rachel took a ton of pictures of the boys (rotating all around them as they sat still -- no easy feat) she uploaded the images into a program on her computer and then exported it to the 3D printer.

The final product.

Happy with her work!

SO cool!  Now we have a keepsake of when they were 2, 4, and 6 years old.

Thank you, Rachel, for these amazing prints!!

The boys were excited about them, too!

Speaking of creations --- each year we have doves create a nest at the top of our column in our patio.  Sometimes we get lucky and it gets used twice in a season.  Well, this year, we have had 5 different sets of doves lay eggs and feed their young.  Here's a baby as she learned how to fly.

All of these activities sure are tiring.

Down for the count!

Sleep standing!

One amazing baby sitter -- Josef (or as Josh says it, "Jo-fish")
put a tattoo on his forehead!  No wonder the boys love him so!

Bedtime is always fun with these jokers!
