A chill in the air

This week we felt the first true chill of the fall that makes you feel like winter is just around the corner.  This has meant bundling up both kiddos, neither of whom seem to love wearing much more than a hoodie sweatshirt (just like their Ima and Abba).

Alte is smiles 95% of the time and couldn't be any more delicious.  We took the bassinet out of our bathroom and she is now sleeping in our beloved travel crib, still  in the bathroom.  Eventually we will have to move her downstairs to her bedroom...

Hersh is busy learning about the moon, and has just begun to learn more about Hanukah at school.  Last night he asked, "How do you pray?"  This launched into a discussion about talking to G-d and inviting the animals to pray with the plants, especially a cactus.  Something else delicious about Hersh is that he talks to Alte the way we do.  For example, we'll say, "Do you have any smiles in there, AlteLu?" And then she will usually smile.  It is even sweeter when HBB asks her in this way.  Needless to say, both Jacob and I are in love with our two little ones, and feel extremely grateful.
