Almost 3

We are in OBX enjoying an amazing week at the beach, and then on Friday, our dear sweet AlteLu will turn 3.  She is such a smart, funny, strong willed, creative, imaginative little love.   She calls anything she is taking care of (including Hersh, ghost crabs, and the washer/dryer) "Little Ones, Cuties, or My Babies."  AlteLu has been thinking a lot about what different animals--including giraffes and zebras--say.  Here at the beach she is singing on the "fireplace bimah," and has been surfing on her "puppy," our boogie board.  Hersh is rocking the beach, catching waves, ghost crabbing, biking, loving life.  He reads and draws with such precision and skill.  And the two of them are best friends (mostly).
