Another Day

In attempt to get back to the blog(read:avoid hate mail)I am blogging for the second day in a row. Don't get to used to it.
This morning Nadav woke up around 5am. After tossing and turning in my bed for a while and kicking me in the eye Josh got up with him and I went back to sleep. Then Danya and her friend woke up at some point and Josh went back to sleep. I got up and got everyone out-Nadav to gan and Danya, her friend, and Jordy to camp. I came home and worked for an hour and a half and then headed to the Gerson's for my ride. I got home around 7:15pm and everyone was finishing dinner. Jordy had Moshe S. over for a sleepover. Apparently while playing Nadav stuck something in the Wii and broke it. Josh spent a large part of his evening trying to fix it. Once Nadav finally fell asleep at close to 9 I headed out to Rami Levy for a big grocery shop. When I returned at 10:20pm Danya was still awake. I sent her to bed and unpacked the groceries. Now it's time for bed.

Short and Sweet

I am not going to even attempt a complete update. I am going to stick with the highlights(which are either written on my calendar, have photographs to remind me or stick out in my sleep deprived brain). In no particular order:


One day Nadav was sad when I left for work so he drew a picture for me-with Sharpies on our front door. If you'd like to see the masterpiece in person it is still here(mostly because we haven't had time to attempt cleaning it).

The school year came to a close. Danya and Jordy each had a closing program. It turns out that they both had a tiyul to the same place a few days apart. Both times the tiyul was many hours. I got to go twice :) The day Jordy and Moshe's was the day before the Balsam's moved into their new house so I got to take Jordy and Moshe.





Camp began and from day 1 Danya and Jordy hated it. I think they are finally getting into it and not as miserable as they had been but I feel bad that they aren't having fun.
Saba and Savta came to town(and apparently I haven't taken any pictures this trip). I have really only seen them on Shabbat for the most part but the kids have spent a bunch of time with them. Danya and Jordy each got to have a sleepover there with their cousins which included a trip to the mall for dinner and a gift and then sleeping over.
Nadav has gone back to his super crazy sleep schedule going to bed after 10 most nights and waking up before 6. We decided it was time to forget the sleep doctors advice and started giving him the melatonin again and we are all happier for it. In other Nadav news-he is really funny when he isn't destroying the house. He was really upset the other day because I had a band-aid on my foot for a blister. He kept saying "Ima-yesh lecah a boo boo?".
On the work front-the job is still great. The commute is getting better, mostly thanks to Seth and his company car. Luckily Josh is doing a wonderful job of working full time and holding down the fort. I am sure there is more to report but I was never going to catch up completely so this will have to do.

Still There?

To all my loyal readers-and to those who read loyally but aren't loyal readers,
I haven't forgotten about you! A new job and new schedules are giving me very little time to blog but I am still here. Don't give up on me yet. Just give me a few more days to catch up. Thanks for hanging in.
