Kyle played 90 minutes in his soccer match today. He dominated the midfield, serving up dozens of passes to the front line. Even in defeat, he was courageous to the end and never gave up.

Nicolai was invited to accompany Greg to a friend’s bar mitzvah. Both boys resisted this effort to photograph them dressed in something other than a soccer uniform.

Susan and Rose have come down for the weekend. They are being treated/tortured with a soccer trifecta. Maya scored two goals and was delighted to have her aunts, parents and brothers present.

Nicolai has recently announced that he wishes to take archery lessons and he is practicing in the back yard. Maya willingly retreives the arrows for him.

A little snack before dinner.
