August 20th 2008

The boys are at their grandparents at the Farm in VA. They are having fun in the last week before school. Karen and I miss them a lot and it's strange not to have the kids with us. The house feels empty. I did get an opportunity to go to the gym (multiple times), and take Lika for walk + give her a bath.

Jamey had an awesome time at Camp Simcha, a Jewish camp for kids with cancer. He came with great stories, had wonderful counselor who spoiled him. He learned to use a kayak, go jet skiing, zipline, and went on a helicopter ride. He was suppose to go for 4-5 days but ended up staying the full 2 weeks. He said he definitely want to go back next year. It was hard not having him around. We decided that we don't like when the kids are at sleep away.

Last weekend we went to a lake nearby and went on a canoe and a kayak. The boys had a great time. Karen spent too many hours trying to get reservation through frequent flyer for our next trip to Israel for the summer of 2008. We are supposed to go in June 2009 for Jamey's Bar-Mitzvah.

On September 13th we are hosting a Texas Hold 'em at our house to raise money for the Leukemia society for Karen's bicycle ride. She is doing very well in training; up to 50 miles. She is dragging me along sometimes and it not easy doing 50 miles when you don’t train!!

School starts next week. The kids are ready. Jamey is going to middle school at Westland. Noah and Coby will be going to Lucy Barnsley which is less than a mile from our house. We are happy about that.

That is for now. We'll post soon.
