Almost Time for Chanukah


So it's been pointed out to me by a number of people that I have not posted since Rosh Hashanah. As a new holiday approaches I figured I should at least get a happy holidays post in. Things have been crazy here. We are learning the joys of having our daughter sharing germs with others as she has brought home a cold and the stomach flu that she shared with both her parents. We have only seen flutterings of snow, and as the temperature has generally stayed mild we've been able to get outside for family walks. Adira is such a big girl already - two teeth, full-on crawling and she is starting to cruise - she walked all the way from one end of our couch to the other. Her latest favorite is the "throw all food off your dinner tray" game - we take it as her way of telling us she is done eating, though usually at least a couple of things land on the floor before we get her away from the zone.



We are really looking forward to chanukah and can't wait to introduce Adira to gelt, latkes and suffganiot. Aaron is excited to make latkes from scratch - a task we passed on last year since we didn't have a grater in Israel. Though we will miss lighting our menorah outside, we're looking forward to sharing the time with family and friends. Go Macabies!



And as always enjoy some pictures of Adira over the last couple of months.
