oops
So I see I opened this blog a long time ago - now it is time to admit that I did not keep up with the idea of a blog. But today is a new day and much has changed since then - so let's try to get updated.
The kids are all still fine - most have added a birthday since last time. Perry is 9 and learning to play flute. It has seemed good for his creative side - if a little hard to remember to practice every day. Tani has begun a special program at the local college in Eilat to stimulate his mind. He seems to like it - though it is hard to wake so early on Sunday mornings (a regular school day in Israel - but even still). Joshua has had ana amazing 6th grade year - partially having developed some self confidence along with his onset of puberty (coincidence?) and partially due to unknown forces that have treated him kindly. He also had to have a re-implantation of his cochlear implant when faulty manufacturing was discovered on one of the line that produce an internal part, and his serial number came up. He weather that storm very well and is now simply aching to get back to sports and the normal physical activity of an eleven year old. Raziel still plays imaginary games with Asher - mostly with the help of a phenominal collection of playmobile characters inherited from their elder siblings (each has 3) as well as their choice of Hannuka gifts this year.
Gazoz plays in the background as I contimplate what else to write and I realize I must go get back to work - but I will think about what to add later! I think I have to ease in to the blog world slowly - perhaps read more of them before trying to write one....
All the best,
Sharón
