See you in March

The big news of the week is that Scott's brother Jeff finally got engaged to his girlfriend Augusta. We are very happy for them, but we are especially excited because it means we can start planning our trip to the States. The wedding will be in the beginning of March in Snowflake, Arizona. We're hoping to see as many of our family and friends as possible while we are in the States. Congratulations Jeff and Augusta!

Last Sabbath in Nursery, Brooke decided it would be easier to play with the blocks while sitting on top of them.

Playing in the blocks

When they want to, Tyler and Brooke can play nicely together. It is getting easier for them to play together as Brooke is getting older. She is no longer a baby and can hold her own with the toys. However, we still have to remind Tyler that she is smaller than he is.

A big hug

Brooke loves to go outside. When Tiffany pulls out the stroller or puts on Brooke's hat, she gets very excited. We always put hats on our children here. We have heard stories of people being accused of being bad parents because their children weren't wearing hats. Brooke looks very cute in all of her hats anyway.

Ready to go out

Tyler calls Tiffany "Ima." It means "Mommy" in Hebrew. Sometimes he slips and calls Scott "Ima" too.

Tyler finally got his Pez dispenser reward after a month of trying to go a whole day without a potty accident. We hope this continues! Through all of this, we have been very thankful for tile floors.

Tyler-isms:

"We're not both angels. Just one is. I'm Tyler." - Tiffany often calls Brooke her angel, but once she called them both angels.
"Ma cara?" - Hebrew for 'what happened?'
"Cuckoo" - Israeli version of Peek-A-Boo
"Hide a secret" - Hide and Seek
"Why do you keep telling me, 'Do you have to go potty?' so many times? - Because Tyler doesn't have a very good track record.
"Big friends" - Grown-ups
