We celebrate half birthdays in our house – no presents, though, just the cake of their choice. Jude chose yummy cupcakes from Whole Foods for his half birthday celebration. Unfortunately, I could not be there is person for this event, I had to settle with Skyping in from New York.

Las weekend we went to a fair at our local gym, the Jewish Community Center. The kids had a great time riding the train, playing in the bounce house and doing their inflatable obstacle course. Then, Jude spotted his favorite activity – rock climbing – and he made it the top of their 25-foot climbing wall with ease.

It has been a hot Memorial Day weekend here in Denver so we had lunch outside today and Jude really enjoyed his watermelon.

The big news in our house today was that we have put an offer on a new house. This is the fourth offer we have put in since we began looking for a house seriously late last year. We are very hopeful it works out. We will see.
