Here are some of the wonderful renderings I received from my boys for Mother's Day.

Michael and Natan love to go to an indoor playground called Under the Sea. Today they are particularily facinated by the Fire Truck and spend quite a bit on time trying to figure out how to make it have a siren.

Here are Michael and Natan, standing on a little balcony at Under the Sea.

Lag B'Omer

One of our favorite holidays is Lag B'omer, which we typically spend at the beach. There is something almost magical about being on the beach at night looking at the stars and the bonfires scattered all along the coast while listening to the sound of waves as they approach the coastline.

Here are Shmuli, Robert, Natan and Michael resting a moment in front of our family's bonfire.

Here is Michael playing at the park near our house. He is pausing a moment to see what Natan is up to.

Here is Natan at the park. Today, he is more concerned with exploring the layout of the tables and benches than with playing with sand toys and climbing structures.

Michael is engaged in a sand project. Neatness is important to Michael, and he is sometimes concerned with the messiness created by the vast amount of sand at the park.

School Days

Well, it had to happen sooner or later- Natan and Michael have started preschool. They are attending a preschool called Step by Step. They attend 3 days per week from 9:30 to 11:30. They are really enjoying the new experiences and seem to like having so many playmates around.

Here the boys are looking at some of the instruments in the music room. It seems that they are attempting to compare them to the various instuments which they played with in Gloria's Mommy & Me class.

Natan is exploring the playground and deciding what he wants to do next.

Here are the Jacobs boys spending a little time together at home. Robert is the dad who can handle it all, with three boys on his lap, a cup of coffee in one hand and a bottle in the other.
