tooth fairy visits

In other news Zev lost his first tooth.  Zev agreed to place the tooth in a plastic bag and place it under his pillow, but not too far in, to make it easier for the tooth fairy.  Which the tooth fairy much appreciated.

In an impressive display on ninja skills, the tooth fairy retrieved the tooth and left Zev a personal note and a $1 bill. 

Also, Zev has been doing Brrazillian Jiu Jitsu and Benjamin has been fencing.  And both now have surpassed the parents in piano - by having taken more than one lesson each.

Been a while

Been over a year in fact.  Today's news:

Dad is the sleepest (because dad always wants to sleep)

Grandpa Misha is the scientiest

Grandma Lina is the buggest (because she studied bugs)

Grandpa Tolya is the TV-est (because the watches TV)

Grandma Rita is the electronicest (because she lets boys have electronics time)
