Hopefully we will make a dent with the landfill otherwise known as Jacob's room :-)

Barry's New Ride

Ever wonder what is under your kitchen floor?

Bye kitchen - you've been good to us

At The Nats Game With Grandma And Grandpa

Already down 2-0 in the second.

Congrats To Karen

After months of preparing and studying, Karen was Bat Mitzvah'd today. She definitely peaked! Her best Torah reading yet on the day that mattered. It was especially nice to have a bunch of family and friends at the service and then our family our for dinner to celebrate together.

Not your traditional celebration for a 13 year old, but our dinner at Wildfire in Tysons was delicious :-)

Goodbye Kitchen

Karen cleaned out the kitchen, ready for demo tomorrow. Though i will believe it when it see it. With all the scheduling delays i have low expectations they will be ready to start tomorrow; that and a potential payment schedule disagreement.

More Pool and Fireworks

Faith is now adventurous at the pool with some real good jumping.


And Reuben had a knack for walking (and running) on water.



Then it was time for fireworks. Each kid picked out a fountain and it buy one get one free! Jacob's was the grand finale.

Reuben In The Pool

Nice hot 4th of July by the pool.   This morning we met friends for brunch while the kids had a water battle.   Water balloons, water guns, super soakers,  etc. We had to go to Giant beforehand to weaponize Faith :-)

Happy Independence Day - One Day Early

For some reason Fairfax City is celebrating July 4th on July 3rd this year! We go with the flow, so the kids and I went to the parade.

Meanwhile Karen went to synagogue for final practicing for her Bat Mitzvah next week. Five adults are getting Bar/Bat Mitzvah'd next week after having taken a class for most of this year.

Great Wolf Family Vacation Album

I'm hoping to get to making a movie from all the clips including Faith going down a big water slide!
