Funny Hair and Sledding

Styling hair at bathtime, a rite of passage for all toddlers. It is always fun to see what they would look like with a mohawk and they were good sports about it. Zachary especially enjoyed seeing the digital images immediately after we took them. Gotta love technology.


We blew up the new sled (from Grammy and Grandpa) and tested it out on our snowy backyard which has just a steep enough hill to make it fun. It was very slippery due the rain on top of the snow we recently had. Zachary and Daddy had a lot of fun Zachary sledding and Daddy schlepping him back up the hill to go AGAIN!

Zoe was not a huge fan of her hand-me-down snowsuit but we were glad to know she was warm and dry. Too bad her shoe fell off and she attempted to walk on the icy snow in just a sock ... OOPS.

We couldn't have fun in the backyard without a swing ride. It was hard getting Zoe in and out of the swing since she looked like the Michelin baby. Zachary enjoyed his winter time swing ride.

new blankets for Zachary and Zoe

Great Aunt Marcia sent a Chanukah package with lots of fun treats including these blankets made by her friend. We weren't sure if the kids would be interested in using them but they turned out to be a big hit. They are fun for hiding under, wearing, and for rolling around on. They haven't even made it out of our living room and they may stay there for snuggling under since they are also warm. Thanks for all the fun stuff Aunt Marcia and Mamma Rita!

Hannukah 2007 and other goodies

Happy Hannukah to all!
First night of Hannukah 2007. Zachary helped light his two Hannukias (Menorahs) one made last year and his new one for this year - quite swanky we think with metal nuts to hold the candles. Zoe enjoyed a piece of gelt meanwhile as seen by her chocolate smile.

Note that in the picture of Zachary posed lovingly on his daddy's back, Zoe is meanwhile toppling over Daddy's legs. We try to catch the smiles and some of the blooper too.

Zachary enjoys a book with Uncle Yossi during our visit to NYC after thanksgiving and Zoe enjoys standing on their red couch and looking out towards Delancy Street. Thanks for the pics Aunt Brooke
