Double Trouble!!!

As the boys are becoming busier and busier, we are increasingly discovering what people mean when they smile at the twins and say "ah... double trouble!" Here, they display their prowess at removing things from the dining room table and opening up tupperware...

The boys have become masters at getting into anything they can get their hands on! 

Here are the busy boys, enjoying distributing their project around the dining room.

Michael, Natan and Shmuli all love it when Chaya comes to visit!

Here are the boys! Aren't they an adorable bunch?

Hey, Dad, share some of that cereal with us, please...

A Trip to the Park

Today we decided to spend some time at Santa Monica Memorial Park. Natan and Michael are at that wonderful age where everything is full of wonderment. It is such a pleasure to watch, as it gives me an opportunity to once again appreciate what I had allowed to become mundane.

Hey, what kind of bug do you think this is??? Is it edible by any chance... 

Here is master walker Michael. Of course, don't underestimate the walking abilities Natan is developing. He is taking several steps at a time now, and we can tell that once he gets going, he will be FAST! 

We are Catching Up on Life

After an incredibly busy summer, things are finally starting to settle down. We has a wonderful October, visiting family and friends during all the Holydays. Now, it is time to settle down and accomplish all the projects we have been holding off on. We have been planning to increase the size of our house, and are now editing the final changes. We are hoping that soon we will be able to begin getting bids for the project!

Here is a close-up of Michael.

Here is an interesting picture of Shmuli. He looks so much older here... it is amazing how fast they grow up!

Here is a close-up of Natan.

Here is Shmuli in his basketball uniform. Basketball season started in mid-October and Shmuli's team is busy learning all of the rules of the game.

Here is Shmuli dribbling the ball.

Here are some sleepy boys. Robert, Shmuli and Michael often like to doze a bit on pillows on the living room floor before they go to bed. Natan perfers to fall asleep in the comfort of his crib instead.

An Outing With Natan and Michael

Michael and Natan are starting to take delight in going on short excursions. They enjoy a chance to see something new, as well as expect some time to explore the environment themselves. Of course, the choices of places to explore are somewhat limited at this time, because the boys are still crawling. So, we search for places that are somewhat comfortable for those who travel on their knees and are inclined to snack on small items which are lying unclaimed on the floor. Today we are at the food court play area in the Westside Pavillion.

Here are the guys in their stroller. Michael is in the rear seat.

Going for a crawl together. Natan is on the right.

Here are the busy boys, doing an inspection of a shopping bag. Fortunately, no contraband was found.

Natan is cruising quite a bit, and can get up and down from sitting to standing quite smoothly.

Here is Natan cruising about.

A great picture of Michael.

Michael is cruising around, and now can take a few steps on his own.

Natan seems to be contemplating a pleasant thought in this picture.
