Chanukah


Tonight was the first night of Chanukah... Thank you to Nonna, Grandad, and Will for reminding us! A couple of pictures of Marty lighting the candles and one of the menorah that he made at school. He really wanted to sing "Happy Birthday," and he just couldn't understand that he wasn't supposed to blow the candles out!

Also, here are some pictures from Marty's class Chanukah Party:

Shabbat Music

We recently received a CD of the music that is played during the Preschool Shabbat Service each week. Marty can't get enough of it...

Carriage Ride


On Tuesday night, we went on a carriage ride with Carolyn, Rick and Rush. We rode around Highland Park to look at the Christmas lights. The driver let Marty sit with him and steer Poncho and Lefty (the horses) on the way home. Despite the freezing cold, we all had a great time!

Share Shabbat



Last Friday was "Share Shabbat" for Marty's class, which means that they led the pledge and the prayers for weekly school-wide Shabbat. Marty has his back to the camera in both pictures, but you get the idea....

Puppet Show



Some pictures of the puppet show at North Park that we went to tonight with our friends (Ollie and Ava and their parents)..... We saw two puppet shows and the pets that are up for adoption by the SPCA (all were equally exciting).

Thanksgiving 2008, etc.




Tyler and I were busy entertaining over Thanksgiving, so the only pictures we took are of the kids (Marty, Ryan, Molly & Lily) watching a movie during our Wednesday night party... There are also a few pictures of Marty helping Tyler get the yard ready for our guests, and a few random pictures Tyler took while playing with his new toy ( a camera)...

Truck Time


On Sunday, we took Marty to a "Truck Time" event near our house. He had a blast climbing on the firetruck, the diggers, the trailers, and of course, the bounce house!

  • Here are our pictures from North Carolina. There are a lot of them, but none of them do the scenery justice! There are several pictures of Long Lake, because we had so much fun there. However, I don't have any pictures of Molly and she caught the single fish of the day - with a Nutter Butter! Enjoy!

  • Some pictures from our Hanukkah so far... plus one of Marty and his new friend Victoria (she is as active as he is so it is impossible to get a still picture of the two of them)...also some pics of the action going on next door to us. The neighbors' slab was poured on Saturday, so Marty and Tyler had hours of entertainment...

  • We thought we'd take a few pictures on the morning of picture day at preschool. My fingers are crossed that the photographer had better luck than I did!

  • Lara came to visit us this weekend. In between our workout sessions with the Partners' card, we took a lot of pictures - although we did a really bad job of getting any pictures of Lara and Marty together. If you look at the picture of Marty in his pj's, those are Lara's hands on the left.... Our bonus was that we also got to see Aunt Estelle while she was in town!

  • We went to the Ft. Worth Zoo today and had a great time! The flamingos (also known as "ducks") and zebras (also known as "Bevo") were Marty's favorites...

  • We were in San Antonio for Thanksgiving this year, and we had a great time. Not many pictures, but there are a few of Marty and Ryan working on a masterpiece and one of Kelly working hard on our fabulous dinner! On the way home we stopped in Austin to see the Newmans. Paige and Russell fed and housed us.... Marty and Bryce did a little cooking...

  • Marty discovered some new things to play with in the backyard, and Tyler and I discovered that Marty can climb. He ended the day relaxing and watching some Baby Shakespeare - life is rough!

  • Marty had a great 1st birthday! We started off by having cupcakes with his class. Then we opened presents, went out to eat, and ended by playing with the waterhose. Needless to say, he slept very well that night!

  • We celebrated Marty's birthday in Corpus for the weekend. Dad cooked great burgers (as always), and Mom made a fabulous birthday cake that took Marty all of two seconds to dive into! So glad that DeDe, Paige and Bryce could celebrate with us! Once again, Marty finished up the evening, naked in the backyard. This is a recurring theme....
