Luke celebrated his 5th birthday with the IBEX students.  Mom made Luke's choice: a "yellow square" cake with a big 5 on it.		One of Luke's favorite presents has proved to be two "Thomas the Train" puzzles, both of which he can do completely by himself now.

The holiday of Purim was a few weeks afterwards.  Mark dressed up as an Indian, Bethany as a princess and Luke as an astronaut.		Looks like Mark has found a cute girlfriend already!  Either that or a guardian angel.

We came out one day to find Luke making his way down from the ladder after visiting our neighbors' roof!  He of course got in much trouble, but between adults, it's quite a mark of bravery for such a little guy.		Mark is ever the character.  The non-stop talking character.  The million-questions-a-minute character. :-)

Bethany has become quite adept at sitting up.		Most of the time anyway :-).
