Update On Everything

     Hello there!  I figured since we hadn't posted in so long that we could give you all an update on the past couple of months.  This update will include LOTS of pictures, so you won't have to read our autobiography.  :)

 

Us, taking the boys out to lunch.  Mmm.  Lemonade.

It's a cooked chicken monster!

Awww!  I know, right?

Almost asleep.

Everyday life.  My sweet little nephew ready to go and enjoy an early spring afternoon!

My dear friend rocking the glasses.  You go girl! 

Then came Purim.  For traditions sake we gave away plentiful baskets.  Two to friends and family, and two to strangers.  It was funny to see the shock on their faces!  :-D

Then we went to celebrate.  First came dancing.

Our nephew had a blast!

Hannah and my costumes.  Can you guess what we are?

the answer's backwards... ;)

Then our dear friends put together an great game having to do with the story of Esther.  One person was King Xerxes, and two were his servants.  His servants were only allowed to say two phrases each, and they were allowed to insert them into the conversation at any time, but only those two phrases.  It was hilarious how it turned out!

They did the same thing with Haman and his servants.

Then we played a trivia game with the little ones.  They had to answer the questions with:

1.  Vashti

2.  Esther

3.  Mordechai

4.  Haman or

5.  King Xerxes

It was pretty cute.  And, they got almost every single one right!

Little S basking in the sunshine, stretching his legs before their long drive to visit their other G-ma, G-pa, Aunts, and Uncles.

Big S playing 'dinosaur.'

He's such a cutey!

Later that day our sister and her boys went to visit the in-laws.  It was a sad goodbye.  :(

But, we're looking forward to see them again soon!

As you can see, our second friend to the right was feeling very silly that day...  But that's not new :-P

         

                See?

Delicious trout that Hannah made...  Mmm...

The rest of the trout.  Garden fertilizer!  Hmm...

Speaking of fertilizer, we started our little green house!  So far nearly everything has sprouted!  Hannah will do a post about that later.

Good News!  We got a brand new counter, sink, and faucet!

Here's our friends installing it.  You guys rock!

And here's our forsythia bush.  It's bloomed this year more than it ever has!

Though sadly, it's flowers are now falling off... Bummer!

Last but not least, Hannah's fantastic talent was put to good use.  Beautiful picture!

You may have noticed that I didn't put any pictures of Passover on here.

We wanted to do a separate post all on it's own.

We'll try to get that done soon :)

Have a happy Sabbath!
