It's almost 1AM and Malcolm just came home from work. He is involved in filming the Israeli version of "Big Brother". He's actually getting quite regular jobs on soccer games, "Big Brother" and the Israeli version of "Beauty and the Geek". Most of these shows air at prime time, so he's home in the mornings, then off to work and home after midnight. He seems to be having a good time at work.
As for the kids, Tamar is getting ready to go back to school on Thursday morning. She has been home since before Rosh Hashana, as she had bronchitis and then no school from Yom Kippur until after Sukkot.
Kobi and Oriya were also off for the whole of Sukkot. Surprisingly, Kobi did not want to make any play dates with his friends from school. He's going to meet up with the neighbor's son tomorrow for skateboarding in the park. Hopefully, once school starts, he'll start socializing with friends from school.
Oriya, on the other hand, went out for Pizza with a bunch of friends - just the girls went on their own and she had fun. She was then invited to a birthday party, also to a pizza place, with a bunch of girls and she had fun there, too. Today, a friend from school called and she went to her house and had fun AND received an invitation to this girl's party this coming Friday. Hopefully, her social life is starting to come together. Her Hebrew is still the weakest and she isn't comfortable using her language skills yet.
Malcolm is studying on Rosetta Stone every day and he surprises me with new sentences every day.
Last night, we used the BBQ for the first time. We invited my cousins - Yaeli & Uvi - with their families and our good friends from the Moshav - Sharona & Michael. The BBQ works great. The food was yummy and fun was had by all.
It's NOT snowing here - or even cold. Malcolm says that it's cool in Jerusalem - but I don't go there so it's OK.
Be well, everyone. More stories will follow.
Michal
