The benefits of breastfeeding

we survived me being sick and Ella not catching it.
breastmilk:1, germs:0.

Ella's room

 

A few weeks ago we bought Ella a new crib, and since then she's sleeping in her room instead of ours.
it's great :) she can stretch her arms, but i think she still misses Grandpa Gary's cradle. can't stay small forever...

in the following picture, notice how ben is reading the instructions and Ella is helping.

 

 

cranberries

yeah. i got cranberries at meijer, thinking that they will be delicious, and realized that you're probably not supposed to eat them fresh. i had no idea. i found this recipe for cranberry jam, maybe i can still save them...


... and a couple of pictures from today, taken with ben's phone while the two of them went for a stroll by the lake. as you may be able to see, it's getting colder here.

Neighbors

Woo-hoo!
we're going to have new neighbors soon: Smadar, Moshe and 2-year-old Ori are moving to Chicago and will live in our building. I'm so happy! i can already imagine us having "family dinners" :D

Shana Tova!
