Photos Montage

I put together a bunch of photos of the kids from different times. Most of these photos are recent photos, but some show the children from "just a little ways back." Enjoy!

Cool Action Photos of Rebekah and Joel

On November 20, the kids were photographed for something special. The photographer gave us the photos. Enjoy!

(Note: these photos are supposed to show how hard it is to do what Rebekah and Joel do on skates! I agree, this looks like it took a lot of time to be able to do these lifts.)

Baruch Goldstein Memory Video

Baruch Goldstein passed away on October 26, 2008. This wonderful video was put together by his nephew, Daniel. I am so glad that Zhava Glaser has made this video available to embed here.

Even if you don't know Baruch, you may be moved by this video. It shows the life of a very wonderful and loving man.

Rebekah Passed Her Intermediate Freestyle Test 11-9-08!

Rebekah passed her Intermediate freestyle test today! She passed by all three judges and got very high marks.



I can't help but remember that it took all my energy to leave the house in early November 2005 (three years ago) when Dan had just come home from the hospital. Rebekah took her Rhythm Blues Test on that test day three years ago. She has come a long way since then!

11-7-08 Fire and Ice Free Dance

This is the best performance the kids have ever done!

Electoral Map in Rockefeller Center

Isn't this the coolest photo? I saw it the morning after the Presidential election. An election map on the ice surface at Rockefeller Center!

Rosh Hashanah in the Mountains! - 9-30-08

We spent Rosh Hashanah in the mountains! It was so beautiful and so much fun! It was a very different day than our Rosh Hashanah in 2005, when Dan was still in the hospital after his horrible accident. What a joy that Dan is fine and whole and able to be with us! Things seemed so "normal" this year.

2008 Pikes Peak Classic Bests

This is a montage of Rebekah's and Joel's performances at the 2008 Pikes Peak Classic for Pairs and Dance that took place on September 27 and 28, 2008. They won the Compulsory Dance event, and placed 2nd in both the free dance and pairs events. It was a very good experience for the children.
