Friday

We all slept well last night and woke up ready to go to school.  Even Talia’s spirits were somewhat high.  I think it helped that I told her that her day was short, even shorter than Ben’s was going to be.  For some reason the mamad gets out at 11:45 and gan at 12:45.  So even though Talia was sad by the time we got to her school, she held in those tears and didn’t cry!!  YAY!

Last night Eric posted a request on the Chashmonaim list for help with the lift on Sunday.  We got 3 responses by e-mail and I got 2 phone calls.  I am really touched by the people in this community.  It is one thing to offer meals and come over and say hello.  It’s another thing to offer to stand outside in the hot sun and help with inventory lists while someone’s lift is being unloaded!

Okay, I have no time now to write the rest… In a nutshell, it is almost Shabbat. I will finish the rest tomorrow night. We basically had a nice day at the pool. I took the kids to the pool after school and now we are at my grandmother’s house for shabbat.

Here are some videos that I was able to upload at my grandparent’s house. Enjoy!
