Halloween pt. 2

Halloween 2008

Halloween 2008. This year the kids went as Little Dead Riding Hood, for Hannah; while Adam went as, both, a ninja and, my personal favorite, Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds and a villain of the Fantastic Four.

Cousin Nir

Linda's cousin Nir was traveling from Israel after a stint in the army. Everyone was quite pleased to meet him, but Adam, especially, was happy to meet a male cousin.

Hannah + Athleticism = Whose Kid Are You??

Hannah has started her latest season of AYSO soccer, which means two 90 minute practices a week plus a game on the weekend. Additionally, Hannah just tested for her latest belt in karate. She is only a few belts away from black.


Seriously, Linda and I have no idea where all this athleticism comes from. It must skip a generation (or two).

Back to School

I used to think that the Happiest Day on Earth was Christmas, but ever since having children I realize that the Happiest day on Earth is the First Day Back to School!!!


Hannah is in fifth grade this year, her last year of elementary school.
Adam is starting second grade.

Boogie Board Buddy

Whenever we all go to the beach, Elise Meshell and Chris are the only ones (of the adults, that is) who actually venture into the water. Since we both started bringing our boogie boards, you can hardly drag us out.




























..."this is not my beautiful wife."

Last days on the beach

Here are a few shots of us hanging out on the beach with our friends the Meshells (Dave, Elise, Hanna & Jack).
