2008 - Enjoying a bubble bath with Granny
When the 3M Segolis - Moran, Michal and Maayan - were sick, Lotem came
to spend the weekend with us so she could also attend Denise's party. A visit to Hofit is
never complete with a bubble bath, and of course without helping Granny
prepare something in the kitchen - this time chocolate covered
strawberries, which we ate at Denise's party.

April 2008 -
a week in Hofit
After the seder, Moran and Michal went back to Sde Boqer, and we
offered to look after Maayan and Lotem for the week. We had a most
enjoyable (and tiring!) time with them. Considering their ages (4 and
2) and that they were away from their parents, they behaved wonderfully
with a minimum of crying and moaning. They were kept busy
"helping"
Doreen cook (they made special passover muffins, see Recipe of the Month), going to a
children's
musical, helping in the garden (picking ripe loquats), picking
mulberries from some wild trees in the area, playing games, watching
TV, and listening
and singing to children's passover songs over and over again. They
enjoyed the petting and playing with Flopsy, and kept their distance
from Lopsy, who is too old to have any patience for kids (and who was
being "dogsat" while the Rons were overseas.). See also This Week's Picture and the
page of Maayan..

his three guests
Picking mulberries is fun, but perhaps just a little messy?
March 2008 -
Swinging on the dunes near
Eilat, with parents, Maayan and friends.
February
2008 - A hike in the Arava near Kibbutz
Yahel
The Segolis - Moran, Michal, Maayan and Lotem - went on a two day hike
in the Arava desert in the region of kibbutz Yahel. The highlight was
the bulbusim (limestone
nodules) that are found in the area. These round rocks, called bulbusim
in Hebrew after an Aramaic word for potato, consist of limestone
containing unoxidized organic matter, and are dark in colour. When
broken (which you are not allowed to do as they are protected) they
give off the "rotten egg" smell associated with sulphur compounds.
There are some more pictures on Maayan's
pages, and in the archives of
This Week's Picture.
January 2008 -
Playing in the snow in the desert
An unusually cold winter spell in
Iasrael at the end of January caused lots of damage to agriculture. The
bright side was the rare snow that fell in many places. Many Israelis
have never, or only very rarely, seen snow, and the white attraction
drew many visitors. Jerusalem even had a Snowman competition. The
above picture of Lotem in the snow was taken in, of all places, the
middle of the Negev Desert, in Mitzpeh Ramon.
See pictures of Maayan in the snow.
While Michal was overseas at a
conference in Hungary, Moran stayed over on his way up north with the
kids. (see archives of
This
week's Picture).Doreen took the opportunity of taking them to a
petting zoo at kibbutz Givat Haim. There are also some pictures on
Maayan's page.
We celebrated Maayan's 4th birthday during a weekend in Sde Boqer.
Friday night was Sushi night, with everyone trying their hand at
rolling sushi; on Saturday we went for a hike in Nachal Zin and then
had lunch together.

lots of pictures., and here for This Week's Picture of 5
cousins bathing together.

The Segolis stayed
over on 2nd Passover eve and the next day we had a lovely time in
Caesaria with the Segolis and Danielle and Lior. ( See also the pages of Maayan,
Lior and Danielle, and the picture of the week.).
Lotem seemed fascinated
by the sea, and we had to drag her away each time we came to a
different view of the sea and waves.

With Granny, with Rael, and just being
happy
While Michal was
attending lectures at a zoological congress at the university at
Rehovot , I was babysitting 2-month old Lotem. She behaved exemplarily
and even posed for a picture while I was holding her with one hand and
the camera with the other.
