Happy 2nd Birthday to Achinoam!

These pictures speak for themselves and she WAS sitting in that special chair still at the end of the day. She also chose to wear her patent leather shoes to the event.

Recent Musings:

1. "Ima, Abba is more stronger than you."

"Why?"

"Because he's a better juke catcher."

2. "Ima, you know why I'm not scared of bad people?"

"No, why?"

"Because if there's a bad person, I'll just become Yehuda Hamaccabi and go froom froom froom and get rid of them. That's why you need to buy me a sword and shield."

3. "Ima, on Yom Yerushalayim can we go visit Yerushalayim? Because it's kadosh so I want to go."

Recent Tzviyali

Here is Tzviya's recent bucket list. If anyone can help her out, we'd all appreciate it:

To do:
Hold a small pig
Walk a dog on a leash
Be a baby again
Stand on a big pile of books (don't know where this came from)
Fly in an air balloon
Eat cupcakes like in Fancy Nancy

Quotable quotes:
Shabbat morning as I'm putting on my shoes, I hear "oooh I like those" (sounded like one 18 year old friend to another) Note: She is still almost 2.

"Myslef. NO! By MYSELF!!!!!"

"Tzviya stop it!"

"Tzviya copying me." (they really play nicely together, really!)

"Come everyone, It's SUPPER TIME!" and similar "Come to the table Everyone!"

To a person also wearing shoes: "Lechaim shoes!", to a person also with a popsicle: "LeChaim popsicle!" (also for skirts, shirts, chips, dinner, etc)

Our trip to the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens and some goofballs...

Not sure why this post never got published, but better late than never!

These pictures are all pretty much self-explanatory. We had a necessary and much-needed, fun post-hospital vacation after Miss. A came home and one day we went to the Botanical Gardens. We basically strolled through the woods for the afternoon and took a train ride. It was lets just say, mamash gevaldig! (and I never use Yiddish- how would you convey that in English? Magical!)

Abba is a lawyer!
