Ok, I know!

I know, I know! I know I have not been posting. I have no real excuse. I have not been happy with the picture quality so I have not wanted to post. Matt tells me to post without pictures but most of you do not want to read the blog you want to see pictures of the kids. I know my audience!
I have been unbelievably busy. The kids were home the whole summer and that was a complete change in routine. I managed to work as much as possible which kept us busy. I am not really sure why that kept me from blogging or if it did. I think I am going to blame my disappointment in the picture quality because it will justify me purchasing a new camera (again). I spent the better part of tonight reliving my summer. Matt's birthday, Sydney and Lior's birthday party, their school celebration, our vacation celebration (day one, two and three), and another beach photo shoot. I have provided links to all the posts that I wrote tonight so you do not have to search for them. They were all posted in August except Matt's birthday which is in July so if you do not feel like following the links just click on August and they will all come up. When you look at Matt's birthday cake forgive me, I was saving all of my cake decorating skills for the girls birthday cake!
Enjoy the posts and come back soon because I will be posting SOON!

Writing

Jordan just started calling for me a few minutes ago. "Mommy, Mommy, come here quick!". "I wrote a "j", I wrote my letter... And it's a beautiful one!"

The good news

Baby jail is finally clean! And they saved the dog!

Apparently

Baby jail is on fire and the have saved their toys.

Need I say more?

Imitation

What's that they say? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...
Today at nap time Sydney called downstairs to me and told me she was taking care of Jordan. When I got there I found Sydney cuddling her and asking her what her favorite part of the day was. Jordan's reply "cuddling you!". That's usually Sydney's response at the end of the day when I tuck them in at night.

First day of school

Today was the first day of pre-school for Sydney and Lior. Lior was really excied to get started. Sydney not so much! She was happy this morning but I think it is hard for her knowing that Jordan is home and that we are bound to do something fun without her. The teacher said she had a great day but when I asked her about it she said that it was not so great. She told me that the day was too long. I am sure that once she gets into the swing of things she will be fine and asking me to pick her up at three.
