Life's quick update

The kids are doing spectacular. They excell at both regular school and Hebrew school. Both are growing into distinctly different personalities. The first instinct for each of them is to want the opposite that the other does, i.e. if Haley wants restaurant A, Robbie wants B, if Robbie wants the truck windows down, Haley wants them up.
Haley is the compromiser. She gives in to Robbie a lot to get things going because he can be stubborn and gets his whe. However, she has learned and does push his buttons to get him riled up. She is also quick to snap at him when he doesn't do as she desired. But when an adult is listening, she is agreeable.
Robbie is all boy. He plays rough, is physical, but in the end needs to sleep in the same room as his sister.
Haley likes to have play dates awhe from the house. Robbie is content playing with his action figures in the house. Both are big time outside players and when they do they prefer to visit a friends house together.

Both are still very active. This year they have done: Brownies, Cub Scouts, basketball, dance, skiing, karate, gymnastics, and flag football. The sports are done with the end of school but both have done one triathlon and are doing another soon. They love the camps they have been going to especially Skull Island.

We love watching them grow.
