Zoe's gymnastics show













Zoe was particularly excited about the gymnastics show.  In fact a few weeks ago she told me "today was the best day of my life because I learned a gymnastics routine."  She was great in the show -smiling the entire time.  She also hit all her tricks.

Carnival!








The kids had a lot of fun at the carnival in between their gymnastics shows.

Lilia's gymnastics show

the grand entrance -looking excited!

ready to cartwheel...or rather attempt a cartwheel


The girls were very excited to be in a gymnastics show at their gym.  Lilia have a great performance as a mouse in Cinderella.  She was smiling the entire time and seemed to be having a lot of fun.

camping




3 members of the family had a lot of fun on a school camping trip while the others stayed home.


Zoe's pen pals


Zoe is working on a school project where they have a class full of penpals and each kid is assigned to one (or in Zoe's case two) kids in the other class to write to.  Neither class knows where their class of penpals lives so they sent drawings of the view from their front window and a postcard describing their house/street.  I also posted a picture of the real view from our window for comparison.

Bowling friends!

Lilia moves on from preschool

Basketball


Lev is drawn to any sort of ball sport, particularly basketball.  When he spotted a ball and a hoop at the preschool picnic he ran to get the ball and started dribbling and attempting baskets.  He's a pretty good dribbler.

Lev and his girls part 2


Lev and his friend Ines have spent 2 days a week together with their babysitter since they were about 6 months old.  Next year they will be in preschool together.  They are great friends.  Lev says "Ines is beautiful."  She is!

Lev and his girls part 1


Lev is leaning in to impress his fashionable friend Shoshi as they check out the turtle at the Randall Museum together.  They will be in preschool together in the Fall.
