so yeah

so not too too much to report on these days. i'm keeping pretty busy with aliyah and shopping. well, "stock up" shopping.. the kind that i do when i come here once a year. it's interesting how hard it is to find nice casual clothes in haifa.. so that's one thing i try to get when i come here... along with certain art supplies, developmental toys, *english* books for aliyah, just to name a few. i've barely called any friends since i got here (sorry guys!) it's just been quite busy with all the family and children being here under one roof.... i had a little "getaway" hour this afternoon. got my first pedicure. ever. have it say i wasn't all that impressed. but it was nice to have that hour to just relax... ("relax" while someone is sticking sharp objects in the crevices of your feet).
i've updated aliyah's blog (link on the right) where you can see pictures of what she's been up to....
