Yahrtzeit

On the Yahrtzeit of  ר' שמחה משה בן ר' שלמה ז"ל  (Simmy’s namesake) Chaim and his father had an opportunity to do something they have really come to enjoy together. They learned Mishnayos  and had some freshly baked chocolate cake with dinner for the yahrtzeit seudah. (and of course they had a L’chaim together too. :-) )

Midnight seesaw rides, 3am melave malka , Mishnayos together… Father and son are really enjoying the activities leading towards a great bonding relationship.

Enjoy the pics.

ועל נשמת

ר' שמחה משה בן ר' שלמה ז"ל

אנו מתפללים

 שְׁבְּגַן עֵדֶן תְּהֵא מְנוּחָתו.  ובַּעַל הָרַחֲמִים יַסְתִּירֵהוּ בְּסֵתֶר כְּנָפָיו לְעוֹלָמִים, וְיִצְרֹר בִּצְרוֹר 

 הַחַיִּים אֶת נִשְׁמָתוֹ, ה' הוּא נַחֲלָתוֹ וְיָנוּחַ בְּשָּׁלוֹם עַל מִשְׁכָּבוֹ וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן.

Happy Belated Purim!

Hope everyone had an enjoyable Purim!  We, here in Eretz Yisroel, had a fantastic time celebrating the Holiday, despite the fact that it was such a short day. Baby Chaim was a huge attraction as he went around 'barking' at everybody!  He was the cutest puppy around bla"h!  Check out his puppy dog eyes!

Chaim Preparing For Purim

The other day, a friend asked if I knew of a local wine expert who would be able to do a tasting on a new wine soon to be released on the market. I said, of course I know of someone! My baby Chaim would be more than happy to!

Enjoy the video.

TU B"SHVAT

One of Chaim's Favorite Holidays

First he chose his favorite new fruit. (Strawberries-Duh ! )

Mommy helped him eat it cuz Chaim just wanted to put the whole thing in his mouth!

DELICIOUS !!!!

 We let Chaim choose some more- can you guess what he chose next ?

These were also fantastic- we all made a שהחיינו together. Well, really Chaim made a שהחיינו on all the fruits because this was his first time tasting any of them.

Hope you enjoyed. We sure did!

Milestones...

We were thinking about writing a description but we felt that the pictures and Vid (yay, we havent posted a vid in some time.) speak for themselves.  

Enjoy

Hope you all had a wonderful Shabbos.  Ours was great B"H.

The vid works well in full screen too :) enjoy

Midnight activities

At times Chaim has his days and nights mixed up. For some reason, tonight, he thought 1 am was really 1 pm. 

See what a little 6 month old does when he cant sleep at 1 in the morning.

Enjoy the vid.

Zos Chanukah

As some of you may have seen earlier in the week, Chaim wanted to make whole wheat doughnuts. We pleaded with him and tried to convince him that whole wheat caramel- filled doughnuts don't really sound that appetizing. 

Well, he disagreed and insisted we try and make them anyway !!

Here was the start of the process.

We worked hard and after a few tries we were finally able to come up with a great recipe that came out DELICIOUS. Chaim couldn't get enough of  'em. 

One big bite for me !!!

Two big bites for me !!

No way mommy...you can't have it back ! It's Soooo Yummy !! 

And It's ALL MINE !!!

 Hope your Chanukah was as wonderful as ours.
