Happy Birthday to You
The problem I have come across with not posting every night, is that I can't remember what happened. I can't even remember what I did this morning, let alone Thursday. I will do my best.
On Wednesday night Merav was up late again, so we slept in on Thursday morning. When I woke up I remembered that I had to go shopping for shabbat and make 3 other stops in Modiin, which would not have been so difficult, except for the fact that everyone was getting out of camp at 12 instead of 1. Merav and I rushed around and we made it back in time. The kids had lunch and at about 1:20 Ariella came over. Meira and Moshe were so excited that she was coming that they made a plan for the day. Now let me back track a little. Moshe loves Ariella. whenever he is telling a story about her to a friend from the Yishuv he will say " This girl I'm going to marry, she was at my house yesterday and ...". So Moshe was very concerned when he read on Aliyah by Accident that Ariella wants to live with her parents FOREVER and doesn't want to get married. This was very shocking news for Moshe, but instead of being heartbroken and eating a tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, he thought it would be best to win her back. Once he had convinced her to marry him and go to outer space together he thought it would be best to marry her right away before she changed her mind. Everyone changed for the wedding, It happened so quickly, even I was not invited.
Here they are in their wedding portrait, dressed as King and Queen.
After the wedding they resumed life as normal.
After the wedding/playdate the kids ate dinner, I can't remember what they had. Nafi came home early, about an hour before the fast was over, so he was able to spend sometime with the kids. We also had Josh's father Jack stay with us on Thursday night. It was the least we could do after he brought 2 suitcase of loot for us and Arica & Josh!! It was fun to have a personal shopper!! Thanks Arica!
On Friday I slept till 9( that's early for me) and cooked until about 1:30. Michali was at camp/gan and Moshe and Meira entertained themselves most of the morning. After lunch Meira went to Nili with Tamar Gerson
and the rest of us joined her an hour later. It was Merav's first time at the pool and she was good and slept the whole time we were there. The Roses met us at the pool. I think the kids had fun. Gila and I sat on the side of the kiddie pool where Yaakov and Michali played. Michali treated us both to pedicures!
Ariella and Moshe were in the big pool with Nafi and Donny. We left in time to make early shabbat. We even had a few extra minutes to snap a family picture.
Meira had Tamar sleep over. We had a very nice shabbat that involved naps. The kids went to sleep before shabbat was over. After shabbat I baked cakes (yes, I baked 3 cakes, she has 41 kids in her group) for Meira's birthday party at camp. Can you believe that she is 9 years old today (Hebrew)!!! Happy Birthday Meira!!

Today after camp Moshe Schreiber came over till about 4. They played nicely as always. Then Meira and Moshe spent a lot of time on the phone with Danya and Jordy. I think Michali also got a chance to say hello to them. I fed Merav and we headed to Burger King for Meira's birthday.
After dinner we came back for birthday cake.
Speaking of birthdays, we also want to wish a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Yael!! Her birthday was on shabbat.

Yom Huledet Samaech! Geni tree doesn't send an e-mail for hebrew birthdays. We won't miss the English one!

Um Lisa, that family picture is missing your new daughter in law...how quickly you forget.
Are you sure that last picture is Merav and you didn't accidentally upload one of Michal?
