We would love to hear from you guys. Click here to get our contact information and please keep us updated on your lives, too!
Noah: Noah turned 4 this June and he's actually moved about the 50th percentile for weight and height. In fact, compared to Aidan at this age, he's an inch taller. Noah is turning into quite a little swimmer. He's already excited about being able to join Aidan's swim team next year and loves being at the pool every day. He's starting to enjoy playing with Jared, as long as Jared's not beating up on him. Noah loves to "read" and sing and is looking forward to starting "school" (a.k.a. daycare) two days a week.
Aidan: Aidan is enjoying his summer already. He is excelling on the swim team for the first time in the three years he's participated, and that is giving him a huge boost of confidence. He's already made the championships in at least one event and we are excited to go with him to champs at the end of July.
Jared: Jared has had an eventful few months. You would think that splitting his head open and getting 8+ stitches would slow him down...but no, Jared's still going at breakneck speed (let's hope not literally). He's big on singing, too, and enjoys torturing, I mean playing with, his brothers.
Our great friends George & Bonnie had a second daughter recently, and the whole family went up to NJ to visit baby Scarlet, and her sister, Violet, who is Mac's Goddaughter. We also managed to sneak in a visit with our dear friends, the Sackins, and do an amazing scavenger hunt with Natasha and Cassidy.

Noah, Jared, Galit, & Mac spent the morning playing mini-golf (Aidan was at school) and then the Children's Museum.

Mac's birthday was also the first day of his new job, so we couldn't much celebrating during the day. But we had a nice store-bought cake (his favorite) and went on a camping trip to Assateague a few weeks prior.

| Making a wish... |
We have started an annual tradition for Mac's birthday -- a camping trip at Assateague State Park. The wild horses, camping on the beach, and proximity to Ocean City, MD make it the perfect family camping spot. This was our third year and we are already planning for next year! This year, we went with the Honigs (Laura, Caribou, Jack, & Ben), the Stockmans (Meredith, Steve, Skylar, and Sierra), and the Schillers (Natasha & Cassidy).

Mac's parents came in for a very quick weekend visit and the kids enjoyed spending time with Gramma & Papa.

Mac's (old) company held an event at our local baseball diamond. We brought along Aidan's great friend, Miles, and had a nice night, at least until Noah figured out that the Flying Squirrels were not really going to be a team of squirrels.

| Jared thought the flying squirrel mascot was Mickey Mouse. | Aidan & Miles, a big baseball fan. |

| Noah LOVES baseball, but was disappointed by the lack of actual squirrels. | The boys. |
Galit's Mom (Aidan's Savta), our good friend Laura, and her mother-in-law, among many others, are all breast cancer survivors. Aidan & I decided to run the Race for the Cure and Aidan even wanted to raise money for the Susan G Komen Fund. Aidan ran the kids 1K and Galit ran the 5K. We both did great and had a great time.

Mac made an amazing treehouse for the boys, we celebrated Edva's birthday with her & her boyfriend, Dave, we had our house painted, and Jared got his first (but surely not last) stitches.
