Ron has been working really hard on the house (and at work). He is under a lot of pressure from the Queen (oh yeah, that would be me) to finish both Ayelet's room and the dining room ASAP.
Michaela has been busy with school, dance class, religious school, basketball and friends. She is doing well in school and having fun everywhere else. At home, I have dubbed her #2 in command and count on her for lots of help around the house and with the little ones. She inevitably rises to the occasion.
Talya, aka the Toothless Wonder, has been busy losing teeth. 3 in a row to be exact. In the span of a few days, she came into some serious money as the Tooth Fairy had to visit frequently. I have committed to making lots of mushy foods for her so that we can avoid any more immediate losses.
Ayelet keeps astounding us with all kinds of firsts. She regularly pulls herself to standing. She is cruising (side to side), she waves good bye and she has more words, including "Ayah" when referring to Michaela. She particularly enjoys eating (anything she can get her hands on), pulling DVDs and video tapes out of the drawer and opening and closing doors.
As for me, I am perhaps the busiest of all. I have been working hard at work, on the SJCS fundraising campaigns, planning our Disney trip, reveling in the excitement over the inauguration of our new president and of course, taking care of my three princesses, (Ron and me too).
