Listening as the Cantor explains the goals of the religious school.

Kisses, movies, and friends

Movie night with the boys.  Zootopia was mesmerizing.

Connor kissing my picture in Jonathan's office.  The boy tears off all his clothes the minute he comes in the house!

Our youngest adores our new Cantor.  Here he was running around the temple open house like he owned the place.

Day at the park

We went to a park and music festival with two other families.  Seven children combined means we pulled our phones out only for the really spectacular stuff!  Like the climbing structure.  Xander wouldn't go near it.

Ari made it to the platform.

What's most impressive, CONNOR made it there by himself. I didn't help once.

I, on the other hand, made it to the very top. :)

First day of school

Chasing lizards from underneath the car so we can take kids to school 

Connor before his first day, super excited. He was the Flash, he was moving so fast we couldn't get a clear photo of him.

Kindergartener and 3rd grader!  To quote Jonathan: The two big boys just before I take them to their first day at their new school. There was fear, tears, and sadness. They kept telling me it will be ok and to be brave. :) 

Ari testing out his seat in his new class

Xander in his room

Impact windows are in!

As well as the sod in the front yard.

It looks like a whole new house.

The only remaining big-ticket items are a vent in our bathroom, and the exterior fence in the front courtyard.

I think those things can be done in the next month.

Then we're DONE!

Middle of the night bedtime visitors

Stop the presses

Our neighborhood is so lovely that I've been taking walks every day.   And Jonathan installed a pool light, so often I go swimming in the evenings.

I'm actually gaining muscle!

ME.

Jonathan said I looked.... athletic.

!!!

This is big news. :)
