A Year in Review

Wow, it's been a long time. A year, to be exact. A lot has happened! Shoshana had a great year teaching Kindergarten and is returning to teach Kindergarten this year. Sara Chana had a productive year in Tiny Tots and has graduated to Pre-K. Temima Liba will be starting Tiny Tots. Moshe is busy with his work at Microsoft, but we are not allowed to disclose everything he's working on... :)
TLM has been walking and talking up a storm for the past 7 months or so, SCM has matured to a social butterfly at her level. We are currently between birthdays - SCM just turned 4, TLM is turning 2 very soon. We recently celebrated our 5 year anniversary!
We relished the lovely visits both from and to our family and friends.
Due to the hustle and bustle of the last year, we did not get around to updating. So, please enjoy a year in review through pictures and videos... (There are a lot of them!) Enjoy at your own pace!

How'd she get in there?!

    Shoshana these photos and videos are just beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I have to admit I looked at it all right away. Somehow I couldn't wait to just watch them in installments. They are both a beautiful joyous pair! Biz a hundred and tzevntzig! BTW, that high up sukkah without an outside railing scared me to peices! And what happened to Sara Chana's front tooth???? OUCH!!!!
    Have a wonderful Shabbos. - Esther Merzel

    To be clear; the sukkah was inside our porch which has a 4 foot railing. You can notice it by comparing the pictures of Abba and the kids inside the sukkah to the outside pictures.

    Esther, thanks for your comment and enthusiasm! Also, Sara Chana was just running around and slipped on the floor and knocked two teeth loose - which had to be pulled. Totally a "normal" activity for a toddler! :)
