Shana Tova

Wanted to wish you all a happy 5770 on the Hebrew calendar and to those of you who don't celebrate the Jewish New Year, Happy January 1st early!

We are still with out regular internet but we are working on the situation and hope to change that status soon.

In the meantime here is a quick update from the J 5!

We are finally updating our kids and getting them all necessary shots and etc. We are happy to say that everyone is healthy and growing fine. S is now a whopping 119cm or in layman's terms, he comes to just under my chest or he is 3ft. 11 inches! I am beginning to think I will be staring him in the eye soon! Y is about 32 lbs and is our shortest member. he is about in the 20% bottom of normal.M is 30lbs. and all leg and takes after her eema and we plan to marry her off at 18 or lock her in a closet until we find an appropriate suitor! After all we remember what teen age boys are like! :) But if you think we are tough, I think her brothers will be even worse. They spoil her rotten and do everything for her! And she is their Princess with out a doubt and that is exactly how she sees her self and will tell you that!

Everyone is settled in school now and all seem to be enjoying their respective teachers and classmates. For this we are very grateful. I am thrilled to have some free time when I am not running a ton of errands, cleaning house or hauling everyone off for shots at the doctor's office. But I have had the opportunity to run into Jerusalem a few times now and have definitely enjoyed myself. I have also had the opportunity to do some house cleaning and that is good news. We have been passing on some of our old toys and books as well which helps minimize our clutter mess. Now we just have to work on the grown ups......

We had a wonderful Rosh Hashana here in Beitar and a very meaningful Yom Kippur and are looking forward to Sukkos which we will spending in Jerusalem. Those of you who know a thing or two about Sukkahs know that this is an insane idea, but well we are full of them! So we will be packing up kids and Sukkah and all for a week in Jerusalem. Yeah! Can't wait to have a week to catch up with everyone.

On Nov. 1 Grammy and Grandpa J will arrive and we are sooo looking forward to their visit! Lots of fun things planned!

Ok my tech support is waiting to take this into Jerusalem to send it off so I hope everyone is well and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
