Hidden pictures!

Thank you Great-Grandma Sylvia!

1st baby tooth gone!

The new room has become quite the art studio

Of course, it's also just fun to play with the bean bag chairs...

After being sick all week, Noah finally went back to school today.
This is the picture he drew of himself, lying on the couch miserably watching TV while he was home sick, under a blanket with snowflakes on it.

A little afternoon snack with cousin Will

I don't feel the need to save all of Noah's artwork -

but some pictures that come home are just priceless.

Here's the family portrait he recently drew in school:

Noah drew this picture in his sketchbook today.
It's a cannon with three cannon balls,
there's also a picture of Sophie, with ponytails in her hair,
and a sound meter showing how LOUD the cannon is!

SNOW

The Princess on the Glass Hill

(aka Noah and Sophie have fun in the snow)

Funny snow stuff! from Serena on Vimeo.

Okay, these pictures are all overdue -
but hopefully over the next few weeks I'll get the blog current again!
Fun in New York during the holiday break!

Uncle Chuck and Lauren reading stories

Sophie having fun with Pop-pop and Aunt Sydney!

Blizzard 2010!
All bundled up!

(are we going to help Daddy or throw snowballs at him?)

Hi!!

Oops!

On a snowy day, Sophie did some serious artwork.

What do you think of her masterpiece?

Curled up on the couch with a good book!
(Thanks Grandma and Pop-pop)

Guess th

Merry Christmas!!

For Christmas dessert, Noah picked something to make out of his own cookbook:

Cookie Pizza!
(cookie crust, chocolate "sauce" and mini-m&ms for the topping)

our sweet, and silly, sophie

Best investment this winter: two kid sized shovels!

Noah is hard at work!

Sophie got creative with Daubers...

while Noah decided that he wanted to learn how to write the alef-bet (the hebrew alphabet)
(he made it about 2/3 of the way before moving on to a new activity)

this gingerbread house I made is very tasty!

Noah got a super cool "Wizard Magic" science kit from
Aunt Jen, Uncle Zack, William and Drew...

ABRACADABRA...

Eureka!

Merry Christmas!
We celebrated a bit early with
Nana, Grampy, Uncle Zack, Aunt Jen, William and Drew
Noah and will opening presents under the tree!

Will gave Sophie one of her presents - a bedroom set for her dollhouse!

Drew managed a charming smile despite feeling under the weather!

Nana, Grampy, Noah and William try out Will's new game!

Thankful

We're thankful for both of them!

We had plenty of gymnastics fun at our friend Ahlay's 6th birthday party...
It was great to hang out with Noah's preK friends!

(I think the instructors were not quite prepared for our daring boy!)

An early education in comic books!

Happy Chanukah!

We got lots of cool presents...

and a visit from Grandma Shelley,
bringing great goodies from New York (but no good pics of her!)
