Mid-Summer 2009

Summer 2009 so far has been pretty normal for us (you can't beat normal). Lavi has been home from school - which has been wonderful for us all. His stress levels have decreased dramatically and he has been knocking tasks off his summer list everyday. Noam has been loving spending so much time with Lavi. You can tell that they have developed a special bond these days. Ari is spending 3 days a week at the Gan Summer Camp - and he has been loving it. I think his friendships are definitely growing over there - and I am so pleased that he is comfortable and enjoys going to the Gan each day. We have been taking advantage of our new backyard and spending LOTS of time outside running around and playing with all of our toys. Our backyard makes a huge difference to us and really highlights for us why we bought the home that we did. It has been great and we have been hosting some dinner parties here and there to try and see people and keep up with our friends. We have also been trying to use the pool at my parents house often. Both boys love the water - and hopefully we can eek out more beautiful days this summer (since June was a bomb). I look forward to the rest of the summer and just relaxing with friends and family. Come on over and hang out with us!
