Fall Ball & School

The fall schedule is beginning to get a bit hectic.  Derek has coach pitch baseball at the same time Josh has tee ball, but, of course, in two totally different locations.  Sooooo, it's been a juggle!  Thank goodness for Grandma who can help save the day!!!

Coming home to a mannequin in the house!

Preschool is hard work!





















Designing and building at a young age :)

So intent!




Morning cuddles


These boys are like teenagers, trying to get them
to move in the morning (this includes their father).




Sad to say...we lost ALL of our trees from Hurricane Irma.

The Bobek's are here, the Bobek's are here!

What do you do when your Israel family of 6 are coming to town and now staying with you?  You make sure ALL of your boys have trundle beds!!!
The boys, hard at work!



The cousins have arrived!

A slight "ouchie"







































A cousin's crusade to Lion Country Safari!























Everybody got a turn to drive!

And we all survived, too!





The splash pad was a huge hit!












zonked out on the way home!

ALL of them!

Getting their music on when they got home!

cousin love!

We're so sad to see all of these shoes go! 
We wish the Bobek's a great year of travel!!! 
Safe and best wishes and we cannot
 wait to hear all about your experiences!!! 
Come back soon!!!

Irmageddon

Time to batten down the hatches and wait out Hurricane Irma!


No rest for the weary.


One last dip before the storm approaches!

All cleaned up and ready for whatever comes our way!

Wish us luck!!!

Riding out the storm at Grandma and Papa's -- since we don't have shutters all across our house!

Papa produces his first instructional video.

The sleeping arrangements (we lost power pretty early on, so it was hot).

But we finally got them to sleep!

shirt or no shirt!


or no sheets!






















After the storm....
Our beautiful orchid tree did not make it.

Our Charlie Brown Orange "Tree"
(it's more of a single branch) did make it!

Gotta re-attach our fence

The seagrapes snapped.

Our next door neighbor's trees totally uprooted!

no remaining fence.


Bauby rode out the storm in Boca Regional Hospital while Zaidy stayed at his place --- even though he was supposed to stay at Bubby and Zaide's house!

We have an additional visitor
until power goes back in his building.



The damage at Bauby and Zaidy's place.



















The good news?  We found out we're on the same power grid as West Boca Hospital --- so we get our power back almost instantly when it does go out!

Since Grandma and Papa don't have the same luxury (and since the Bobek's are coming in from out of town)....we have a few extra guests!  (And a TON of frozen/defrosted made food).  Stop by for a schmorgesborg of food options.
