It’s been a busy winter at the Wax household.   I’ve been overloaded at work since the New Year and the kids have been keeping Tamar on her toes.  But just because you haven’t seen pictures and videos in the last couple of months doesn’t mean we haven’t been documenting every fun moment that we’ve had in between all the work.

It’s amazing to look back at the pictures from January of Eli and realize that he already looks and acts older than he looked just 2 months ago.  He’s growing up more and more everyday.  He parrots back just about every word we say to him.  He’s daring and adventurous.  And most of all he is fun and happy.  We feel so lucky to have him around.

Jordan has also grown up in the last couple of months.  He’s getting regular good feedback at school, and loves Eli more than I’ve ever seen a brother love.  It’s amazing to watch.  Sorry for the huge collection of backlogged pics and videos, but I want to make sure it’s all documented for the future:

We’ve really enjoyed having Poppy and Nanny around this winter.  The kids adore them AND SO DO WE!.  And we’ve appreciated all of the help.

Poppy got way into the temple fun

And even helped with Jordan’s haircut

Jordan is pretty cooperative for haircuts these days

Eli not so much

 

But usually Eli is all smiles, giggles, and fun

And exploring, and practicing steps.

And eating of course..  Eli eats more than many adults I know

And he LOVES Jordan

Love

And he’s learning how to sing like Jordan too

A few events:

I took Jordan to see his first NBA game:  Laker vs Bulls.  We had Dan’s amazing floor seats, 3rd row.  Jordan was bored.  We’ll try again in a couple of years:

Jonah’s birthday party

Visit from CZ and Tom

Snow day at Jordan’s school (who need to live in Chicago, we can just truck in the snow)

A great crop of fresh oranges from our tree (HUGE!)

Santa Monica outing:

Daddy and me with Daddy and Eli

And getting to ride front facing in Jordan’s seat

Jordan still loves Toy Story (although is is now also into SHARKS)

This is Jordan literally praying to his Toy Story characters

He still loves to sing and perform

Daddy trying to teach Jordan to build

He’s slowly starting to do other stuff other than playing with Toy Story stuff.  He loves to line up his toys

Fun at the park

More cousin time

Eli making new friends

A few other fun pics…

I love this video because it shows how much my amazing wife gives it her all with the kids.  Getting as silly as they want.

And this is a picture that I will save to show Jordan when he gets older to see what a cassanova he was as a toddler.

Next photos:  my quick trip to Chicago and then Purim pictures!
