Update from the Western front

Here's the news from the Western front! Temima Liba has been smiling a lot more, and even started giggling. It is very cute.
We took our first plane trip as a family of four. It was great! We had the chance to reconnect with so many of our dear friends and relatives and spend the holiday of Sukkos in our old neighborhood. Sara Chana and Temima Liba got special matching Yom Tov outfits, and they look adorable in them. Sara Chana was very excited to tell people that she matches her sister.
On one day of Chol HaMoed, we visited a pumpkin farm that also had kiddie rides! Sara Chana went on some rides the first time! She seemed to enjoy them.
We also visited a children's museum complete with a miniature grocery store! Sara Chana got a kick out of pushing a cart, filling it with play food, and checking out at the check out line. There was also a balance beam on which SCM did fairly well!
Sara Chana has been getting more social at school as well. She is working on playing with others and has even had a few play dates.
Now the moment you've been waiting for... new pictures!



Oooh! So smiley!

    What a Beautiful and Happy Family, poo,poo,poo!I am so sorry I missed you on this trip back to Chicago! We have to make sure we see each other next time. Temima Liba looks JUST like you, Shoshana.(As if you didn't know) The matching dresses are oh so adorable, but the contents within them are just absolutely precious! Give those beautiful little princesses hugs and kisses from me.
    Love, Esther Merzel

    It sounds like all isn't quiet on the Western front! :) Thanks for the update - I miss all of you!

    P.S. I didn't know SCM and TLM had multiple matching outfits! Love them in the pink outfits during TLM's tummy time! My nieces are the cutest.
