Is My Timestamp Corrected Now? And Other News.

This blog isn't particularly about Shifra, but I liked the picture, so I thought I'd share it. I think I like it even better than this one:


I think I may have already e-mailed this one to some of you. I had gone to my room for a while that afternoon, having left Sara and Shifra eating a snack in the kitchen. When I came out of my room, it was suspiciously quiet, and I was worried about what I might find. Sara was playing quietly in the hallway, and she said Shifra was still in the kitchen. And so she was.

The exciting news here is that after posting my last blog about the kiddush, I attempted to change my settings so that my timestamps show up as Eastern time instead of Pacific. Hopefully that worked. I started my last blog at 10:43pm, not 7:43!

After having had our stint with the dentist (our scheduled cleaning is Dec. 8, and so far there have been no new visits since the last posting about it -- keep your fingers crossed), this past week was the "support your local Orthodox pediatrician" instead. On Monday, I took Yanky there due to complaints of an ear-ache. Sure enough, he was diagnosed with an ear infection. On Tuesday, I took Hadassah there for her scheduled one-month check up. Then on Wed., Shifra woke up with what looked like an obvious case of pink eye. Having had enough visits to the dr's office already over the past two days, I wasn't so interested in going again. So . . . wait -- all you dr. people out there, please skip the next section, I'll start a new paragraph when it's okay for you to read again. Anyway, so not wanting to go back to the dr's office for a third day in a row, I self-diagnosed Shifra and gave her eye drops that we had in the house from when Sara had had pink eye way back when.

B"H, Yanky and Shifra have both recovered beautifully. And we found out that Hadassah weighs just over 9 lbs.
