Strike a pose

Friday, February 9th, 2018

Avery’s status as a ham has been long established, but I still had to laugh at a recent after-school activity: While we waited for Zoe to get done with running, she insisted I take her photo while she tried out a series of poses and facial expressions. She even changed up her hair (down, up or braided) and dress (down or tied). We killed a good 10 minutes!

And as for Avery’s favorite look, she told me it was the first (upper left) one. Mine too.

Volunteering

Friday, February 9th, 2018

Like her sister before her, Avery is working on a tzedakah (charity) project for Jewish Studies. For the project, the students do volunteering work and research and describe the organization in a poster presentation – and Avery chose to return to the food bank (where we’ve volunteered before). During our recent Sunday afternoon there, we helped package 2,500 pounds of rice and put together 26 home delivery boxes.
