Oceans & Streams

We are back after a two week hiatus.  We had a busy time away from the blog and are now back into the swing of things.

Lily and Jack both had nice Valentine's Day celebrations at their schools and had fun trading cards with their friends.  On Friday, Marcy, Lily and Jack headed down to Florida to join me there for the long weekend.  We had a nice time visiting with Grandpa Maurice and Grandma Phyllis during the weekend and we had the great bonus of seeing Great Uncle Simon, Great Aunt Ruby and Cousins Lisa, Kevin, Adam, Matthew and Samara.  Lily and Jack had a lot of fun hanging out with their older cousins.

While in Florida we had some time at the beach, some time at the pool and we visited Parrot Jungle Island in Miami with Grandpa Maurice.  Despite the colder than anticipated weather, everyone had a great time.

Lily and Jack came back to finish off the week of school and also had their usual swimming and piano regimens.  On Friday, Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom came over and took the kids bowling in the afternoon (it was a half day of school).  On Saturday, we ran some errands in the morning and then we headed downtown during the evening to go the Wizards' basketball game.  We had some great seats and the kids had a great time.  On Sunday, Lily had Hebrew school in the morning and Jack and I picked her up and headed to the Purim Carnival.  After a visit to the Carnival the kids were off to swim lessons and then Lily had her friend Sofia's birthday party.  To close out the weekend our friends Sarah and Derek and little Adam stopped by for a quick visit as they were in the neighborhood.

Here is the photo recap pictures ...
