Counting challenges

On the way home from school today Jacob nonchalantly announced that he was going to count "in trinary." Then he did. 1, 2, 10, 11, 12... What?!? Knowing that Craig had taught him the binary system I asked him where he learned trinary (is that even a correct term for Base 3??)--he told me he figured it out himself (knowing what he already knew about binary numbers... he then went on to count in Base 4 next...) [Craig later confirmed that he has not taught Jacob any Base 3 or 4 etc...] Anyway, when we arrived at home Jacob ran for the paper and pencil and wrote down his counting! Almost 4 years old...

Happy Birthday Craig!

And here's a picture of the birthday card Jacob made for Craig (with a little help from Josh). Jacob cut out each of the letters himself (each is from a 8.5 x 11 piece of paper), and Josh decorated the car and the truck! Made with love for daddy... Happy 44th (gasp!) Craig!

Happy Chanukah Cards

Jacob has been quite crafty lately... Here's a picture of the Chanukah cards that he made for all 19(!!!) of his classmates! Whew!

Does this thing still work?!

It's been almost a year since our last post (!?!) so I thought I would share a few recent pictures of Jacob and Josh. I'm not promising anything, but who knows--maybe I'll start posting regularly again...

Josh and the mirror

Here's a quick video of Josh admiring himself in the mirror not too long ago... Just before I got my video going he had been flashing his belly to his reflection over and over...

Some random semi-recent pictures...

In an attempt to get things a bit more up to date here I'm posting a few random pics of the boys from the past few months... I'm also hoping to get a couple more posts up soon with pictures from our recent trip to visit family on the east coast, so stay tuned...

Jacob and Josh sing their first duet

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star... Enjoy!

I apologize for the video quality--I couldn't get a good shot given where the boys were situated, but I hope you can get an idea of the performance anyway!
