The kids had a really long break over shavuot, it merged into shabbat and memorial weekend, and they only went back to scool yesterday! The weather has been really lovely and the kids have enjoyed all the sunshine & water play. These are 2 of my fave pics from the long weekend (sorry, no Elinoa photo, she was making a pretty grumpy face)
The photo of Yoav was taken in the front garden - as you can see, he was having the time of his life jumping backwards and forwards through the sprinkler.
This photo of Millie was taken at Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. A fabulous time was had by all and Millie is still talking about the "beanch".

So, its been a long time since I posted a proper update. I am out on the deck watching Millie frolicking on the grass with no clothes on, covered in marker pen & drinking paddling pool water...
The kids are doing great. Elinoa is becoming quite the karate pro; she has a yellow stripe on her belt already and hopes to be a full yellow belt by next month (seriously, dont mess with her!) She is doing brilliantly at school in both languages too.
Yoav's hand writing is so good now that I cant tell if its Elinoa or Yoav who has written something. He is a total whiz at spelling too and has started writing in script in ivrit.
Millie's speech just blows us away - she is desperate to keep up with her brother and sister and she sounds just like them "why not mummy?" "but I dont want to" "thats not fair" "dont make me feel sad" "i'm not your friend anymore" etc etc
I am keeping pretty busy at the moment with both my lifeguarding training and my photography business.
Here are some fab pics I took of Millie's playgroup last week, we all had such a good time.

More soon I promise!
