A little fun...

This past weekend we were in need of a little family fun.  After having recovered from strep throat, the 4 of us needed an outing.  We ventured to the Renwick Gallery (which is across from the White House) and enjoyed the opening of this newly renovated space.  We ventured through the 9 pieces of the Wonder Exhibit, enjoyed live music, and partook in the many art experiences.  AlteLu and Abba loved collaging, while Hersh and I wrapped animals.  We then had a delicious brunch at a french bistro, which involved lots of jam and toast;)
In AlteLu cuteness, she calls kisses "kishikas" which is a hybrid of nishika and kiss.  She also calls our giant play coins "credit coins," a hybrid of credit card and coins.  This girl is delish!  She is beginning to recognize lots of letters and remember lots of little details.  We got a great report about her at Parent Teacher Conferences.
Hersh is rockin' kindergarten, as we learned at his Parent Teacher Conference.  The other night he read Jacob, "Are You My Mother?" cover to cover.  After which, Jacob asked me, "when did Hersh learn to read?!?"  Hersh is compassionate, inquisitive, intelligent, and funny.  Love my boy!
