Finally Friday

Okay, I am doing horrible keeping up with the blog lately! A brief run-down of the latest news:

Caroline had a great soccer game last Sunday, scoring 2 goals. We also got her back on her bike and after having some initial difficulty remembering how to balance on it, she's now cruising around and having a lot of fun. She graduates preschool in less than two weeks!

Becca and Ben are gearing up for the end of the school year. Becca takes her first ever EOGs (end of grade tests) in math and literacy in 2 weeks. Ben has EOGs in math, literacy and science as well as a state end of course exam in social studies and Spanish (those are slightly different than EOGs and are called EOCs). I think they are both a bit stressed about all the upcoming testing.  The testing week of course coincides with the two Bar Mitzvah reshearsals and Caroline's graduation.

Joel and I decided to change our 15th anniversary trip plans - we had originally planned on a return to Aruba for a week at the end of October, but I happened to see a cheap direct flight to Paris on Priceline for only a couple hundred dollars more than the Aruba flight would have been. After a little research I realized we could rent an apartment in Paris for a week for way cheaper than the Aruba hotel we were planning to stay at. So now we have two plane tickets to Paris and an apartment booked :) Since I've been to France but never set foot in Paris and Joel has never even been to Europe, we are both excited. We may attempt to arrange a side trip to Normandy while we're there as well.
