Just Call Me Shoshi

Recently I have noticed that when we are driving home Nadav knows when we are nearby. He has recently pointed out the landmark that tells him so.A short while before we get home there is a flower shop called Shoshi and they have a massive billobard with their logo. The logo looks like this:

Presumably a picture of Shoshi, who has blue hair and is winking. Nadav told me the other day that when he sees the picture of me he knews we are almost home. Yup, that's me-blue hair and winking. Whenever we drive past it he yells "Ema, it's you we are almost home!"

Big and Little

Yinon hanging with his cousin Meytal.

Overheard

Conversation between Jordy and his friend:
Jordy: What was that kind of phone that isn't an iPhone?
Friend: Smartphone? Android?
Jordy: Android. That is the name of the bad guys in Star Wars.
Friend: No, the troopers were the bad guys.
Jordy: No, the Androids were the bad guys.

A Rare Moment

Usually Yinon is either crying, eating or sleeping. It isn't so often that he is awake and content so I needed to document the moment.

Back to Life

I was doing so well catching up the blog and then came the broken computer and the broken phone. Oh well. Since I last the big kids started school. I was going to take a picture of everyone ready for their first day but Danya and Jordy were up and out the door at 6:50am! Yes, their school starts at 8am. Danya is now in 6th grade-the oldest in the school-and she has to do crossing guard duty on occasion and she had it the first week of school so she needed to be there at 7:30am the whole first week. She was excited to do it and she was up and out on time the whole week. Jordy didn't want to go to school by himself so he was out with her. On day 1 Yinon and I took Nadav to gan. Nadav was not excited to go. He was sad to be there and sad for us to leave him but I had to go as Yinon had an appointment at Tipat Chalav to be weighed. Yinon gained weight and everyone was happy. Otherwise that is how life has been going. School, homework, play dates, sleeping, eating, wash, rinse, repeat. We are trying to pull ourselves out of denial and gear up for the upcoming holidays and festivities. The freezer is slowly filling up(OK, actually quickly as I only have the freezer on my fridge). Here is Nadav helping Yinon with his pacifier as Nadav is an expert:

And here is Jordy who is holding his brother who is "so cute":

Sorry no pictures of Danya. Truthfully she spends a lot of time holding him and helping take care of him. It's just that since she is so helpful I usually use that time to get something done in the house and not to take pictures. I will try and get one with her soon. I now have a new working phone so I am going to try to post some pictures regularly even if I am not writing.
