Today we had Talia’s party.  She turned 8 on December 10th but we managed to push off the party untili January 10th!!  She was getting antsy so i had to just bite the bullet and make it for her.  It went well.  ALL of the girls in her class came!!  There were a total of 26 girls, plus Ben, plus Bubby and her boyfriend Moshe (who, by the way, Keren likes better than Bubby)  and Aunt Beth and Uncle Peter.  The kids were all really cute and the best part was that after the movie was over we had about 15 minutes to kill so I put on some music and we all danced.  The kids were adorable.  I made sure to ask Talia if I was embarrassing her and she said no.  So I kept dancing.  We danced to the chicken song.  It was so cute!!

This morning Eric went into Jerusalem to put in the bid for the migrash that we would like to buy.  It turns out that we don’t have to wait 3 weeks to find out the result like we thought, we’ll find out in 3 days!!!  So we won’t sleep for the time being.  Keren and I were at the park, meanwhile, and we had a great time.  The weather was pretty warm today so you can see Keren in the pics wearing short sleeves.

Shabbat was really nice, as usual.  Friday night we went to sleep really early.  I think I got 13 hours of sleep, or close to it.  Shabbat day we went out to friends and then Ben wound up staying there and then bringing his friend back here.  Then they spent the rest of Shabbat riding the swing car all over Chash.  Talia, in the meantime, was at her friend’s house and then came back here and hung out with us.  Sat. night Eric took Talia, once again, to the learning thing at the shul.  It wasn’t as big of an event as the last time but they enjoyed it nevertheless.

Tonight we drove Beth, Peter, Bubby and Moshe back to Yerushalayim and then we went out to eat by ourselves.  Jere came and put the kids to sleep!!!  That was a big deal b/c no one has ever put them to sleep other than their grandparents.  Keren did cry but Jere said it wasn’t for long and I believe her b/c I am sure that she would have taken her out of her crib in a second had she cried for more than 5 minutes.  This is good news b/c we have a wedding coming up and now I don’t have to worry, I’ve already booked Jere.  What we’ll do without her once we move is beyond me!
