Rock Climbing

Here is Sam at an indoor rock climbing wall...go SAM!

The Backstage Zoo Pass

We went to the zoo last week and went directly to the Reptile House (of course) and met the herpetologist who took us backstage and showed us all of the lizards that are not on display. She let us hold many of them and Sam was in HEAVEN!!!! I think a leopard gecko might be in our future....

Tyler's Harem

Tyler went to a lovely birthday party at a chi-chi restaurant and was surrounding by his ladies, most of whom are from his class.

Going to Synagogue

I got to read from the Torah this past Shabbat and the boys wanted to look extra special for the occasion.

MLK March

Sam and his friends, Owen and Anna, completed the 2.5 mile MLK march last Monday. We had a great time talking about freedom, racism and Rosa Parks. In fact, San Antonio's MLK march is the biggest in the country, attracting over 125,000 walkers, interesting for a city with only 8% African American population.

Monster Trucks

As we were leaving Sam's school last week, we saw a lot of commotion at the Auto Parts store and sure enough, the Avenger had come to make an appearance. Sam and Tyler were besides themselves and couldn't wait to sit right inside the tire. Sadly they missed the Monster Jam this year as it coincided with Sam's basketball game....here is to next year. Go Avenger!

Sam's First Lost Tooth

Sam's bottom adult teeth have already started to poke in behind his front two baby teeth and he was trying desperately to wiggle them out. In the midst of getting ready to go to Houston, he was eating strawberries (of all things) and it came right out. He is now working on the second loose tooth.
