Jam Session

Ken recently got a guitar and is learning to play, much to Jacob's excitement!  He asks if it is Raffi's guitar and loves to play it.  He also loves to copy Ken and get the chair and music stand out and put on a show with his own guitar.  He tells me to sit in front of him, and he plays for me and bows after he is done with each song.  He loves it when I clap for him; he smiles a big proud smile!  Here are the guys in one of their first of many jam sessions to come I hope!

More New York

We got some exciting news while we were in Texas- Caroline's cousin Miriam and her boyfriend Marc got engaged on New Year's Day!  While we are all so happy for them, Caroline's favorite part about the news is that she will be a flower girl in their wedding!  We were missing Miriam so much and wanted to see her after her great news, so Caroline and I took a trip to New York to see her.  We rode the train in New tork City, went to the Museum of Natural History, ate at a great deli, and saw Miriam's apartment.  It was a fun girls weekend as Caroline called it!

Visitng the Butterfly Conservatory at the Museum of Natural History.  A big butterfly landed on Miriam!

Old McDonald

Jacob got to enjoy lots of time singing and playing the piano with Grandma while we were in New York. 

New Year's Party

After we got back from Texas, we traveled to New York to celebrate the New Year with Grandma and Grandpa.  We had a great time spending time in New York and enjoyed the annual New Year party with Grandpa's annual fire!

Caroline went ice skating for the first time at a local ice rink.  She LOVED it and is still telling everyone about it!  She did fall a few times but got right back up and could skate some by herself by the end!  Brave girl!
 The best part of ice skating- warming up with hot cocoa after a great skate!

Happy 2013!
