My first day at Einav

Abba is giving me a hug before Ima takes me to my new Maon called Einav.

I'm all ready to go!

After circle time and davening its time for breakfast. Bring it on!

So fun eating with my friend Rivka.

Yay Abba

Yesterday Ima and I picked up Abba from school where he was busy decorating his classroom. I'm so proud of my Abba!

Kuku

Ima came home from work the other day and saw that I had a kuku in my hair. I was so pleased.

It's still there right?

Helping for Shabbat

After the Kotel we had to get ready for Shabbat fast. I stood in the kitchen and had a snack while Ima got ready.

I was ready before everyone else!

Friday at the Kotel

Ima and Abba got ready for Shabbat early on Friday so we could go to the Kotel in Yerushalayim. Looks like lots of other people had the same idea!

Goodbye Savti Judie II

Savti Judie had to go back to America. Here we are having a fun supper on her last night.

Here Savti caught me snuggling with Abba.

Bye Bye Savti, come again soon!

A girl of many hats

I've always liked putting my hat on my head.

But now I've realized there are other fun things to put on my head!

The Cowens Come to Visit

Ima's friends the Cowens came to visit while Savti was here. They came all the way to Alon Shevut to visit us!

They said I was much bigger than last time they saw me!

We all enjoyed a nice dinner together. I liked it because it was outside!

Davening with Ima

Savti caught a picture of me davening with Ima.

Falafilo

Abba and I are going outside!

OK which way should we go?

Let me lead the way!

So this is a falafel ball.

Here Abba, maybe you'll like it!

Swimming

Savti took me swimming one day with Ima. I loved splashing and playing with the ball.

Swimming is tiring!

Mazal Tov Miriam!

The day Savti arrived she went straight to cousin Miriam's wedding.

It was past my bedtime but I went to the Sheva Brachot that week. I wore a really fancy dress!

Miriam, Cota, Momi and Didier (Yaffa's husband).

Savti and Yaffa catching up.

Rafi and Eli shmoozing!

Me and Abba being mesameach chatan and kallah!

With Savti in the Park

The day after we came back to Israel, my Savti came all the way from America. Here's a picture she took of me playing in the park. I'm driving to America!

Cereal

Wait a second, what do I do with this spoon thing again?

Oh, right, now I remember!

Family Pictures

Of course before we left we took some family pictures in our Shabbat best (after Shabbat).
Three generations!

Gila, Gila, I'll miss you!

Baba, great getting to know you better!

Tavta, see you soon!

The whole mishpacha!

Learning about fashion with Gila

Gila and I had so much fun together in Cape Town. The night before we left I discovered some of her jewelery.

Oops I've been caught!

You mean I can't take it all home!

Gila, one day I want to be just like you!

Sleeping

Ima was excited to be on vacation and sleep in late. But sleeping is boring. I would wake up at 6 AM and Savta would see me in the hall. She would say "It's too early to wake up Hodaya, go back to sleep with Ima." I would turn around and lie down next to Ima . . . for about two minutes!

Joberg

While we were in SA we took advantage and visited Joberg to see family and friends. Here we are with the Bernsteins Abba was friends with Hillel when they were small.

Here we are with cousin Esti and big boys Dani and Ariel.

Here we are with Auntie Heather and Uncle Allan.

It was fun seeing everyone, visit us in Israel soon!
