I am sick. Michelle went with Bilha today to the park. She came back and said: "Mommy, I want to go to the kindergarden".
What I understood: I like to be alone without you (sometimes, I hope). I need time without you... and so I will arrange a "kindergarden" for Michelle once a week. One day I'll take Uriel and one day Bilha will take Michelle - I hope it will work

dolls

Eynat and I started to sew Waldorf inspired dolls and other toys. Take a look at my first dolls...




















This is Barbie - Michelle named her.




















This doll was made for my sister Sasha on her visit to Israel a week ago. I was so excited to make it that it took me only one night!

I feel that the dolls are coming out good but I still need to practice making the dresses.

Nahal Kziv

We went to Nahal Kziv yesterday with Asya and her family. It was a lot of fun (even though it was hard - for me, anyway).















the view of the Monfort Castle















walking down the mountain to the river




















Nahal Kziv down below - one of the few rivers in Israel that flow in summer as well. The water is clear and you can see trout swimming around where it is deep enough. When you put your feet in they come to check and bite a little, but you can watch them... and that's fun.




















Taking a break - the kids can walk around and splash in water ... the dog can rest and we can eat a little and relax. It is quiet, the birds are chirping, the frogs are croaking...

walking hand in hand across the river. In the end Michelle and Sasha decided to walk in the water so they got all wet and happy!

























We found this beautifull place and decided to swim


































Came home and fell asleep on the couch - all of us together ... what a great day!

We are back!

Sorry for a long break from blogging.... I've been a little busy, but feel that it is important for me to come back and write... so we are back on the net!
