generals and shabbat

lauren is doing an excellent job of bringing up the kidlets. orly is enjoying gan more, learning more and more hebrew and being generally gorgeous. yael is still in a perpetual state of motion. perhaps she will be a dancer like her savta. perhaps this is why she is to lean, constant movement! having said that, yael is eating more, bananas, avocados and so forth.

we enjoyed ourselves at the zoo again. because it was purim there were clown men on stilts and, surprisingly, orly didnt run in the opposite direction! we saw the bears, leopard, fire salamander (which orly recognised), chameleon (which orly recognised), falingos and pelicans, giraffa, rhino, zebra, you name it. really good fun. a mandrill even came up to us and gave us a good stare, quite a moment.

we spent our first full shabbat at home, cooking both meals (thanks lauren), and hosting a number of guests as well. lauren must be credited here for her awesome cooking with many twists and adventures. getting to know the produce of the land!
