Sorry for the delay...

The propellor blows all the hair away as it falls.

Come, let us venture

into a foggy winter day.

I took the girls to the Children's Museum today 

to see the new Andy Warhol exhibit, but they 

were much more interested in the plasma cars.

WE LIVE IN A WINTER WONDERLAND

These pictures were taken yesterday after 

receiving 5 cm of snow, this morning another 

4 cm had accumulated.  The forecast says we 

are getting yet another 5-10 cm on Saturday

and Ori isn't even here to help me with the 

shoveling.   I foresee a lot of sledding this 

winter.

"I'm the snow queen of the mountain!"

When she wasn't eating the snow off the driveway,

Kyri was trying to find a comfortable enough

spot for a nap.

CHRISTMAS 

Ask Ori how many Cappuccinos he had 

on Christmas morning.

   

Kyri meets Papaya, a homemade rag doll.  

I made many of the girls' gifts this year.    

Enjoying Christmas morning.

Season's Greetings

CELEBRATING HANUKKAH

"Thanks Uncle Yali for giving me a lift."

This is the Hanukkah feltboard I made for the girls.

Rivi loves lighting the menorah, she even knows

that the shamash lights the other candles.

Kyri, hypnotized by the candlelight. But what else

is going on in this picture?  I'm not sure.

HOLIDAY VACATION 2008*

First stop: Dubois, PA where we thought

we had outrun the impending storm, only to wake 

in the morning to freezing rain, which we drove through

for at least 3 hours en route to Washington DC.  

While on the road, Rivi drew this amazing picture of Tinkerbell.

In DC: Here is Rivi drawing on the placemat that

the National Press Club sells, laminated, of course

as souvenirs.   

Kyri peregrinates in the Press Club

*Stay tuned, lots more to come

And her mom smiles proudly.

"Gilly, you're next."

The snow is heaven...

...but snowsuits, boots, hats and gloves are hell.
