Brief update

Hello all. I apologize for not posting pictures, I can't find the cable that connects the camera to the computer. Stymied by technology. I brought Sara for her hearing test today, and the technician officially found what the Tipat Chalav nurse found, which is that she has a slight hearing loss, and has a lot of fluid in her ear. So we go back to the pediatrician to determine the next move. He didn't seem too concerned last time, as long as her speech is on schedule... "Dadadadadadadada." Genius! AND she started waving bye-bye! She crawls around the first floor, triple-layered to keep her warm, getting into everything, whacking things on the floor to see what it sounds like, finding small pieces of garbage and putting them in her mouth. Soooooo yummy! I mean HER.

We are all going through our various responses to the war. Personally I hate Hamas pretty intensely. Living through a bunch of suicide bombings did that to me. Our neighbor downstairs just got called up for reserve duty, and last week when Yehoshua and I went out to breakfast we saw a number of couples with the man in uniform, obviously catching a few moments with the wife before heading south. Tension is up around here, YB seems to be especially sensitive and Y and I are drafting an Operation Home Happiness campaign. If you have any ideas or thoughts please email me, I'm always interested.

AT is asking me to work on a book she is writing, more soon IYH.
