this is how we fit 3 children into a 9 sq mtr room (in fact its not even 9!).

The boys are all moving in together... meaning #3 is joining his big brothers.

So we've had to be a little creative with working this one out in such a small room! but thanks to Ikea we've found a solution and the boys love their new room and their own little spaces.

Shalev is up the top and Yoav is down below:

Shalevs little space: Baby Reuvens new bed (cot):Underneath the bed: (the ever changing play space)


And here's a little photo frame Shalev and i made yesterday in our 'nap time crafting hour!'

cutting the chain!

We're counting down the days around here by cutting the chain... one ring at a time.

What are we counting down for..? we're counting down the days until Dave begins his new job! Yippee yay!

September the 1st will be a new beginning for us as a family, a step to stability and normality!
This will be a job which will let us have Fridays with our Daddy again thus making our weekend a 2 day weekend every weekend!

Daddy will be home with us every evening at 5pm and not sometimes 10pm, sometimes 7pm sometimes 5pm.

These are just two of the blessings that this new job will provide for our family!
So many more blessings are instore for both Dave and myself, and for the children.
Thank you Lord.



We just need much grace to get us through the 25 days that are left!
We would appreciate your prayers!!

Our little smiler!

HAIRy scary!!

So here are the boys from the 70's...

... yes i was gazing at this photo just a couple of days ago and thought to myself

"oh my! look at my boys hairdoo's!! boy oh boy they need a good chop".

So i went for it and gave them a summer hairdoo! though i have just realised that in the photos they dont look a whole lot different! haha... but actually they are.

Reuven

I havent posted much about anything lately as i've literally had no time! We've been so busy 'living summer' around here. We've even begun enjoying going to a beautiful swimming pool a few times a week, this has helped us cope with the long hot summer days.

I unfortuntaley don't have many photos of Reuven and all the smiling hes been doing, he is by far our most smiley baby!! he does nothing but giggle, goo goo and smile! He's growing super fast... and at 9 weeks i can now say that he's a solid all night sleeper and has been for over 3 weeks now, what a blessing those extra hours of sleep add to my day. Thank you Lord.

I will endevour to get a few more shots of him this week, and especially a few of him smiling his breath-taking smile!

here's a shot of our super strong baby... (he's been turning over since he was 3 weeks old, and has been lifting his head very high from about 4 weeks... so yes we have another super strong shalev in the family!)

Our Shalev is 3!

We are so thankful to God for the 3 beautiful years that He has given to Shalev.

He has made it through the 'terrific twos'.

Shalev had a wonderful party! colourful, fun, and happy! just the way it should be at a 3 year old party!! 9 little children came.. (plus 2 babies) and he had a blast!

The helicopter cake! Shalev just LOVES helicopters right now, so a fying cake was just the right thing! it didnt really fly, but the propella's went round!!

Happy birthday big guy!
