Celebrations

Whew! What a week. Thursday, the second day of Shavuot, Sam's classmates came over to celebrate Sam (and another boy) turning 12. It was a hot day, so they had water balloon fights in the backyard:

Friday was the last all-school Shabbat celebration:

Saturday we went to our friends' daughter's Bat Mitzvah. They are members of Sha'arei Shalom, where I am the high holiday cantor, and it was nice to see everyone. The Bat Mitzvah girl did a terrific job - she was very poised, read Torah and spoke beautifully. Sofia was funny. When it was time for the closing prayer, she ran right up to the bimah (stage) to stand between the Rabbi and the Bat Mitzvah. She had a blast at the party (although she fell asleep on my lap for a while in the middle), and the boys had fun too.

Sunday was Micah's Gym Show. We took his friend A (one of my "extra" kids, who likes to hang out with me!). It was long, but Micah did some great flips (which are not visible enough on the video to share with you).

Tuesday was Portfolio Day. So proud of both my boys:
