Another nice day, although chillier. Logan is still having an easy transition into school, and this morning amazed me by demonstrating that he can thread an actual sewing needle with no assistance, and sew a button onto felt. Love his new school!
The big event for the day was the maiden voyage of the Berkowitz Family Bike Trailer. The boys LOVED it and Jason is going to get into really
great shape really quickly. My bike isn't quite ready at the shop yet, but we're hoping that by this weekend we'll be able to do a family expedition. Here are a few shots of Jason and the kids enjoying the ride
and the scenery in our neighborhood (right).Since I had the camera, I also took a quick shot of our street, Hawthorn Ave., looking West from 4th street up toward Mt. Sanitas. You can't see our house or driveway, but they are on the left just
beyond the gray building.Before
We also wanted to show you all some of the minor but great improvements we've made to the house using some paint. Unfortunately in this picture of the front entry, our camera angle, lighting and decorating aren't as good as in the "before" picture, but we hope you can see that by painting the banister and closet doors white we added a little bit of visual interest. It's much brighter in person! We'll have to post photos of the dramatic changes to the master and 3rd bedrooms later, because those two rooms have been seriously neglected in terms of organizing (i.e., they are disaster areas).

Thanks for the pictures. Jason looks and sounds like he is right in his element. It's nice to hear that you are getting out and about and not just staying home and unpacking. The banister looks great and we are anxious to see the changes you have made in the other rooms.
Don't forget to put together a list of "honey do" items for Dad so that he can keep busy when we come for our visit. I'll be happy just to lounge around and play with the boys. Welllll, maybe we could do a little shopping :)
Love you,
Mom
Your story about bikes and School remind me of my experiences as a kid where I wanted my first day at school( I was six)to end at lunch. I told my Mother that I had enough and it ended up with her and a neighbor lady chasing me around our yard with a Clothes Prop. Needless to say, I lost that battle.
I'll tell you about my hand-me-down skinny tire bike with 30 inch wheels later.
Keep the blog moving. I enjoy all of it
