Fun with company
We enjoyed having Tiffany's parents with us. Grandma changed all the diapers and gave baths. We especially appreciated Grandma being up with Tyler at 6 a.m. every morning. Grandpa told stories and played cars with Tyler and held Brooke. Grandpa also went grocery shopping with Tiffany.
This past week we celebrated the Jewish holiday Purim. It honors Esther from the Bible. The children dress up like American children do for Halloween. Tiffany's Hebrew teacher invited us to a party at a preschool. Tyler, being the social animal that he is, had fun driving the playground equipment rather than playing with the other children.

On Friday we went to Caesarea with Tiffany's parents. We met our friends James and Heidi there. It a beatiful day and we had a lot of fun. We ate at the Crusader restaurant and enjoyed Middle Eastern salads, St. Peter's fish and pita. Tiffany got a piece of jewelry made out of Phoenician glass and Tiffany's dad got some ancient coins from the antique store there. We also found shells and pottery shards from a nearby beach.

Brooke is always hungry
Us in CaesareaWe also celebrated Scott's 30th birthday on March 8th. He is old now. Work gave him a basket of chocolate treats and decorated his cube with balloons. When he got home, he was greeted at the door with streamers, silly string, party horns and 30 balloons. Tiffany and her mom made Surprise cupcakes, Scott's favorite birthday treat.
Scott is 30Tiffany was sad to have her parents leave. It was nice for her to have company during the day and to have someone to play trains with Tyler so that she could nap, get things done and take care of Brooke.
This weeks Tyler-isms:
I doubt it - We say "eat your dinner." He says, "I doubt it."
Banger - Hammer
White prizes - Dice
Jella-beans - Jelly-beans
Maggots - Magnets
