Start of 2018 School year and 5779!

This week we had a great beginning of the school year.....

Josh came home and showed us "Twinkle, Twinkle" on the violin.

Benji is a natural, too!

Althoughm, this Mariachi band might be my favorite!

Derek found some fat laying around Zaide's office.

Benji shows his peddling skills.

And his beach ballin' skills.

Working on his gross motor skills.

And his fine motor skills?

It's tiring...any which way you cut it!

Such a snuggle-muffin.

And a cool dude!

Wouldn't ya say?

Benji plays a concert to help Mommy feel better!

Derek and Josh are trying out for the NB's K-2 School Play "Frog and Toad"!

They had pre-auditions and then practiced for the actual audition.  Here's how it went...

Frog and Toad

Derek’s Frog Monologue

Josh’s Toad Monologue

Benji’s Take

Final callbacks were made and Derek was casted as Snail #3 and Josh as Squirrel #4 -- they're both thrilled!

Back to School Night for the Lower School happened and the night was very informational....

CSI - Visible Thinking Routine

Best Kindergarten Teacher!!

The King and his crown.

I noticed Josh made a "No Benji" sign for his room....and Benji, apparently did the same!  (Oh, they'll be fun when they're teenagers)!!

Some Shabbat Pre-Celebratory Fun!!

Miss Amy and Miss Karen always come up with the most fun and creative ways of celebrating!!

Prayers for all!

Chocolate Covered Apple -- from the fire pit.

"Yum, mommy.  I like it, but it tastes funny!"

Aunt Amanda and Uncle Alex are in for Rosh Hashanah and Safta and Grandma and the gang all went out to dinner.

Safta fed Benji like a bird!

 Safta Feeds Benji

Of course, it wouldn't be a trip to South Florida without some pool time!!

A great open house at Grandma and Papa's to ring in a SWEET 5779!  Wishing you and yours a wonderful, happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year!

The boys all playing outside.

King of the Jungle!

Benji and Sammy -- covert operation!

A VERY serious checkers match between Joshie and Ed.

We've had such a great holiday, so far, that we forgot to even get some shots of the boys all dressed up!  Maybe for Yom Kippur!!
