Making home made pizza for dinner

This post was updated almost instantly after the pizza was eaten and that is thanks to Gal & Rami. You ask why? Well, while preparing the pizza we talked with Gal & Rami over Skype. They are now in beautiful Costa-Rica and wanted to see more recent pictures and videos of Shai. So that is the 'Why so fast' from camera to blog.

Besides, both Dalia and I where so happy to see how Shai loves to help us out. I just hope she'll start helping with washing the dishes too :)

So this is actually a video with pictures embedded inside it to built the time line. Enjoy..

Back from weekend in Kemer

We just got back from a nice weekend in Orange County Resort Hotel in Kemer, Turkey.

This was a bonus trip for all the doctors and assistants at Dalia vet clinic.
We had a lot of fun

Happy Birthday Jonathan - 3 years old

Jonathan's birthday is actually on the 12 of May. But today was his family party at mom & dad's place (Rachel and Ralph).
The kids and we had a lot of fun and ate well.

Scuba Shai

A bit out of focus, but Shai wanted to try out Dalia's new swimming glasses.

New passport pictures

We needed to renew our passports so we took a few mugshots pictures.
Shai (in her pyjamas) demanded that a photo of her will also be taken while she's standing by the wall.

Dr. Dalia saves the rabit

On Israel's independence day Dalia was on call. She got an emergency call from a young girl (13) that said that her rabbit was dying and she asked to put it to sleep.
When Dalia saw the rabbits condition she could not bring herself to do it and decided to try and save the rabbit. She brought it home and took care of it in the following two days and nights and she saved it.
Meanwhile, Shai and Alex enjoyed a rabbit pet at home.

Shai in the toilet

We're trying to get Shai to start using the toilet. It's not easy.
She's trying very hard to imitate us but she still can't solve those 'hard' sodokos in the Haarets newspaper.

Eating spaghetti

One nice Saturday noon we stopped at Gillis in the TA harbor.
Alex ate the classic hamburger meal and Dalia took the spaghetti dish which Shai could not stop eating.

Marianne's 70th Birthday

We celebrated Marianne's 70th Birthday.
Many friends came to the very nice restaurant Juliet Kitchen (very recommended for a delicious dinner).
Dalia, Mike and I prepared this nice presentation covering Marianne history. It includes many cute pictures of Marianne, her family and many of her good friends.

Alex's Birthday

Just like any other boy, I like my birthday cake with chocolate coating and candies! I even got a few candles to blow out.

Thank you Dalia for the wonderful cake.

Weekend at kibuts Dalia (+Kangaroos @ Gan Guru)

All the Rosenbaum family went on a weekend to kibuts Dalia. The grandparents: Rachel and Ralph, the grandchildren: Jonathan & Shai, and Vanina, Danny, Dalia and Alex.

Like most kibutsing there are plenty of animals and Shai, loving them all, has to pet each and every one.

One of the mornings we visited the Gangaro, an Australian park, where the kids can pet the sweet Kangaroo.

One hot early spring day

Alex promised Shai a swimming pool party on Friday noon but in our flat we don't really have a pool or even room for one.
Well, with my brains and Shai's wishful thinking we overcame the above small hurdles.
