quarterly update...

Not sure when was thelast time we blogged, so here goes:

1. dori had his 6th birthday in may. he was very happy. it was very noisy. at some point 30 kids were jumping on my sofas. 30 KIDS!!!, and that's not counting the ones sitting elsewhere.

2. my brother got married in June. it was very laid back, small wedding, friday noon relaxed mood, in a high tower overlooking all of tel aviv. it was better than anyone expected.

3. we went on a "families trip" - 8 families from dori's kindergarten for a weekend, short hike with the kids (inside a river - I gave up halfway trough, just was too scared that my balance is so off because of the pregnancy, that I would slip and fall), all of us slept all together in a huge tent on matresses after we bar-b-q'ed lots of food, and went to the (shrinking) sea of galilee for a dip in the water the next day - it was great. we are hoping that another trip will be organized in a few months, although his whole kinderegarten has split up (see next item...)

4. Dori is going to start 1st grade (OMG) in Sep 1st. Today we found out who is in his class, which is very few kids from his current kindergarten, but a whle lot of friends from the neighborhood, so we are really happy.

5. The heat/humidity is killing me softly . 7 more weeks to go, and it just gets hotter and heavier.
