Hi Mr. Smiley Pants!

I can't believe how big you are!!

Yom Haatzmaut Fun!

This was a first for us! Gedalya performed with Pirchei Raanana and Avshalom Katz on Yom Haatzmaut! (I'll add more videos as they get uploaded so check back!) We're so proud of you Gedalya!!

Lots of fun and too much candy was had by all!

This is some recent Itieli! He loves slides and being outside. 

Remember last year at this time?

This exemplifies our road trip perfectly

This is what most days were like on our road trip in the summer, in between the fighting, yelling, etc. Can you see Itieli laughing?

Itieli is 9 months!

Thank G-d we had a new baby boy nine months ago! But I bet you don't want to see all the pictures I've taken since he was born, so I'll just show a few. PS- I'm not a horrible mom! Don't tell him!

Wait! That was only January! Oh well, eventually I'll catch up!

Videos from Achinoam's Party!

Pictures from Gedalya's Shabbat Program

On Friday last week I showed some videos from Gedalya's shabbat party at Bilu..

One part of it that I thought was so smart was that they used 6th graders to act out the play. The 2 men in the play are the Rabbis from the school and they brought in a music guy. The students from the main school learned something and so did the gan chova kids- 2 birds with one stone- great!

They told the story 

Then we sat at a pretend shabbat table and Gedalya told everyone how much he loves my chicken! I melted..

One of the Rabbis taught the kids about safrut and everyone made their name in beautiful letters. 

And at the end we sang וזכיני לגדל...the bracha I make with the candles before Shabbat. I was bawling...My baby is growing up! Gedalya laughed...his Ima is ridiculous! Can't control herself! Yeah that's me!

Videos of Achinoam's Mesibat Siyum

This is going to be our last installment of videos of mesibot siyum (don't all jump for joy at the same time!). This set of videos is mostly me sitting next to Achinoam and the music is strikingly similar to Tzviya's graduation. Oh well, she is so cute in her own right, that it doesn't matter. Next time you see Achinoam, ask her to sing you אצא לי השוקה! Enjoy!

Nice tie! With Abbale...

Proud Ima!

Achinoam: "I want a popsicle too!" So Gedalya gave his to her. What a guy!

Another proud Ima moment!

Waiting for all the kids to arrive...
