Announcing Number 3 ...

We just couldn't stop at two. Our family just wasn't complete without “number three” as our new baby Adams will from here on out be affectionately called! Yes! Were pregnant! We have been waiting to tell all of you for what seems a long time now but we wanted to tell Bella and Lacey first. After we told the girls they just kind of had a stunned look on their faces. About 5 minutes later (while ordering lunch at Heidi's Deli) Bella starts frantically tugging at my skirt and says, "Mommy! Mommy! You are having a baby! ANOTHER baby!!! Lacey! Lacey! Mommy is having ANOTHER baby!. It took about 5 minutes for it all to sink in we think.. :)

Bella's First Dance Class

Bella's Hawian Dance

Bella has been wanting new dancing shoes since she grew out of an old pair of her shoes that happened to have heels. She called them her dancing shoes and as you can imagine danced all over the house in them. Well we went to find new shoes and I just decided there and then to get her real tap shoes. She would have a blast in them whether she ever performed a recital or not. She was ecstatic! Her joy was contagious and I couldn’t help but enroll her that day into a dance class. Upon registering, they didn't tell me that this was the all classes end of the summer party. So we were greeted by all 4 classes along with their parents, cupcakes, siblings and other party extravaganza! It was exciting but I couldn't help but feel bad for crashing their party. All this to say that the class is usually made up of 4-8 girls not the zillions you will see on the video. So, this was Bella's first day and she was amazing. She got up and danced with them like she had been doing this for years. The other girls had been practicing this dance for weeks and Bella watched the dance one time and then got up at did it like a pro!(She is the one on the far left) Oh,and Lacey wanted to join in so badly. She did give Bella about 10 good luck kisses before the dance began! They can't wait till next Monday... I just hope Bella is not too disappointed that there won't be cupcakes and party outfits!

Jerusalem Marketplace VBS

SHALOM! Here is our tribe, the tribe of Zebulun. We had such a meaningful and memorable time walking through Jerusalem together, learning scripture, singing songs and dancing, doing crafts at the marketplace, learning from Rabi Rob in synagogue school and playing the games of Jerusalem.Synagogue school was Bella and Lacey's favorite part!!

I made this palm tree to display the names of the families who were registering. It grew quite large but I din't get a picture of the final tree.


Our Tribe meeting place where we learned Hebrew traditions together.


Bella and Schane make harps together at the marketplace.



We all had fun making our own dradles and playing with them.
