The end of the summer
Not sure we really had a summer. But this is it. Last pics with shades and short sleeves. Rubber and winter boots are lined up. Leaves are turning yellow. Stores have stocked up on Christmas cookies. I'm not liking it. We need to move to a sunny place again. Counting the days till our next trip to Israel. Should be something like 182 days...
Ben and I (finally) got a new haircut! Ben has grown so much, and not just hair. He has (finally) started to talk, but he's rather economical of words, also because ja and nein is basically all you need to communicate. And you should hear the way he says it! Mama, Papa, (L)Jia, Auto, Hallo, Ball, and Baddo, a universal Ben-word that can mean anything in general and Bagger (excavator) in particular. His tiny repertoir of words is brought forth in a deep baby voice. He's such a man. Always so excited when we pass a train or a truck. Exhilarated when we drive past the construction site. That's when he gets to see the front-end loaders, backhoes, and bulldozers. Baddo, baby!

Baddo, indeed!
And Lia is such a pro at posing. Heidi would be proud of her. :-)
zwei perfekte Madames!!!und eine hübscher als die andere!!! Ben scheint allerdings das Posen noch nicht als seine Leidenschaft entdeckt zu haben. Kommt noch!!
Where are Ben's sunglasses? Have you cut those too?
(Such a spick and span lot, y'all. Good job you can't see us these days. If you could you'd have to keep the shades on, I swear I'd make you!)
Alex, you're speaking for us, too. The way I run around is insane...but at least the kids are dressed nicely.
And today the promised Scandinavian high has reached us, beautiful sunshine although terribly cold. Summer is over, aber so was von...
