Update

It has been a long time since our last posting. We have had a war and three kidnapped soldiers and life goes on. It really doesn’t just go on. Everyone knows the war ended and we don’t have our chayalim back. We wait and we hope that someone is making a deal or that they will find out where they are hidden and go rescue them. We wait and time passes and life goes on.

The girls are now pretty much fluent in Hebrew. Maayan knows words in Hebrew which she does not know in English. Noa is learning to read in Hebrew and English. A few weeks ago Alison took Noa to a store in order to translate for her.
Why is it that they pick up the language so quickly and we will struggle for years? You should hear their cute Israeli accents. It will come to the point very soon where we will have to make sure the girls only speak English at home to preserve the language skills they have.
