A Shai-ism

Ani Purim, Ani Purim sameach um'badeach
Ha'lo rak pa'am bashana a'vo l'hitkaleach!

אני פורים אני פורים שמח ומבדח
הלא רק פעם בשנה אבוא להתקלח

I certainly hope not...that would be pretty smelly!

Chanukah 5771

This is going to be a very picture heavy post; I am NOT posting video now because it will take forever...

Shai made it back to gan in time for his party last Wednesday night:






Somehow the rest is video; it will have to wait!


And Emmanuel Tzvi was a "source of light" this past Monday:




And the love affair with the flourescent light continued (making it very difficult to take pictures in the dark)...

Oops...

I guess I don't have much of a push to post when any one of you is here...which would explain why I haven't posted since June! (Oops, sorry.)

Yitzchak Meir has a well-baby checkup on Monday. He's almost 7kg (6.95, to be exact) and 62cm tall (25"). He's almost out of the 3-6 month clothes and I just unpacked the 6 month and 6-9 month supply.

I will try to post some pictures later.

Say Cheese!

That's right, Yitzchak Meir now smiles. Not quite on demand, but we're working on it. I'll have to try to catch it on film. (On memory card? Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.)

In other news, at his check-up last week he weighed in at 4.4kg (almost 10lbs.)...ET was that size at 2 months; Shai didn't get there until the 3 month mark.

My Eyes are Dim...

But I can see, as long as I've got my specs with me!

Allah is NOT a Mouse!

The kids have a Saba Tuvya DVD fdepicting various stages of the history of the state. They watched it today for Yom Ha'atzmaut.

One of the skits is about the pioneers having to complete a building overnight, because the law states that a structure with a roof cannot be destroyed/demolished. Within the skit are two Arab characters trying to puzzle out how these Jews managed to get their hands on so much building material and erect a complete building when at dusk there had been NOTHING there. (To be fair, the British are made fun of similarly, when the army captain can't find the building on a map, and is "astonished".)

Anyway, on seeing these two Arab guys on the screen, my politically left-wing bleeding heart DH made a comment something like "Allahoo akhbar" (Allah is great), which Emmanuel Tzvi heard as "Allahoo achbar" (Allah is a mouse). And promptly replied:
"Allah lo achbar"
"Allah chatool"
