Stay tuned, I'm still alive. Just a bit busy. Have been feeling under the weather, pressured at work with some new and frustrating projects, and best news of all a new niece!!! Not that I'm used to getting nieces in general, this is my first, and very exciting.
Her name is Hila Zehava after Bens (and her mom's) grandmother, who've I've learned a lot more about since Ben's parents have moved to the area. She's a little bundle of love who makes my heart melt to look at her. I didn't know I could love a child so much who isn't actually my own....I can't wait to watch her grow up along with our kids, who are so close in age. Really though I just can't wait to hold her again, and really really can't wait to see her smile. I think that my heart will just burst then.
Just for the record, I still love Eden best. In case it almost sounded otherwise. I am partial to newborns though.
With all the ups and downs of the past few weeks, we've discovered frozen convenience foods and dishwashers. I really feel middle class and bourgiouse now. Yes, we finally bit the bullet and bought a dishwasher. Don't ask whether we use it for dairy or meat, its a sensitive topic. We use it for dairy, if you are really wondering. Its really made a difference in our lives. Still no cleaning lady, having a hard time with that one.
That and the frozen pizza and chocolate ice cream. The chocolate ice cream especially has been a life saver. Did you know that Ben and Jerry's is cheaper than Haagen Dasz? And Eden eats the pizza!!! That enough is something to celebrate.

Well we love Eden, but love Hila more...so there!
No need to get defensive about loving your own baby more LOL. She is a newborn after all.
We love our dishwasher and also use it for dairy, with the reasoning that we eat dairy & use glasses all the time, but meat is only a few meals a week (actually we ate very little at all until Nomi started eating solids and we were told she was allergic to milk). Still, it seems there are a lot more dairy dishes, even though the meat meals are usually the big ones.
And congratulations on your new niece - I saw the pictures on FB :-) Eden looked so happy!
