Rosh Hashana

Last Wednesday, we were hanging in the secret room. 

Then it was soccer practice for Noah.  

Noah always ends up on the ground.  

They played into the dark.  

Last Thursday was Rosh Hashana.  All six of us went to the big service at 10:30.  It was packed!  Aden was there to work.  

It was a nice service.  They took all the kids away and did activities with them.  Aden helped run that.  

Then the kids came back to hear the shofar be blown.  We headed home.

Somehow Ariel ended up at Burger King.  

We had dinner at Amy's parent's house.  It was too nice not to sit outside.  

The moms made a great dinner.  

We all pigged out and talked.  

Ariel did some tumbling.  

 

Another Cheer Game

Last Monday, the older two helped me cook dinner.  

Of course Ariel had to stop and do some cheers.  

Sometimes they love each other.  

Aden played tennis that night.  

He's getting way stronger.  

Always finishes with a plank.  

Last Tuesday, Ariel had a football game to cheer for.  Here come the girls!

Here are some action shots.  I'm not going to post any videos.  

Ariel up on the right.  

Fionna. 

Game night.  

 

Back From Maryland

Last Sunday, I woke up from a great night's sleep at the cousins.  Their house was so quiet.  Sandy fed the dogs.  Then we went out for a walk.  

It was a nice morning.  We walked far!  Potomac is a pretty place.  

Back at home, Amy took the twins for dress clothes.  

I went over to Abby's house for brunch.  The girls were still bonding.  

I talked to Abby's family for a while.  They were very nice.  

Then it was time to leave.

It was a long trip back but not as long.  Maybe 4 hours.  

We stopped in center city Philadelphia to drop off Cece.  Of course the girls wanted to run around her house.  

We finally made it back.  Amy and the family were at Melissa's house so we went there.  

Honey was happy to see us.  

That night, we did a Mark Rober science kit.  

We made a cool game!

 

Maryland Bat Mitzvah

Last Saturday, I drove Ariel and 4 camp friends to Maryland, right outside Washington DC for Abby's bat mitzvah.  It's about a 3 hour drive without traffic.  It took us 5!  It was nice that Biden welcomed us to Delaware.  

Five hours of crazy girls doing Tiktoks and singing.  

It was rainy when we left and there was a lot of traffic and we had to stop at every rest stop.  Although the weather got better the further south we got.  

We finally made it and stopped by cousin Sandy's house to say hi.  

Ariel really loved her dogs.  

The girls ran all over the house.  

Wish we had time for a movie.  

Cuties!

Checking out the gym.

Ariel wanted to take Ollie home.  

She fed us.  Of course we had snacked the whole way down too.  

More Ollie love.  

They checked out the secret loft.  

The dogs watched.  

Then we headed to Royce's 5 minutes away.  The Maryland camp girls were waiting for us.  

This was to be there accomodations for the night.  

More food!  They had cookies and doughnuts and brownies!

We also brought soft pretzels which the Maryland girls loved.  

So, later, I went with the cousins to their country club for dinner.  The food was awesome but I was so full from the day of snacking.  Ariel's bat mitzvah was at the same country club!  So Ariel and Emily came to say hi while we ate.  

Then we went to check out the party.  This entry was cool.  

Congrats Abby!

The girls had a blast.  

Me with the cousins and Royce's mom and boyfriend.  They all know each other.  

Some shots of the girls.  

Go Camp Saginaw!  It was a late night!
