End of July family update

looking outside of the window, i can see the little fountain of the fish pond, a nice little black bird is flying around the yard and the sun is shining. seems like a nice day, but why does it have to be that HOT? for 3 days now we have been living inside a furnace. you actually feel it lees during the day, as i try to get as little out of the house as I can, but at night the house, who got hot from the sun during the day i emitting all that heat inside. HOT.
starting with the weather means everything is ok here. we have been to a weekend vacation last weekend in the Golan heights. we went to visit friends we haven't seen for 2 years and 8 months. they have never seen Lia and we have seen their youngest son when he was 7 days old. but good friends are good friends and it is as if we just saw them the day before. we also went to pick berries from a "berry picking field" where you can pick and eat berries and other fruits. we took some berries home and they made for a wonderful cake that we ate at the dinner for sarits sisters 14th wedding anniversary.
what else is new?
Lia has started to express herself and is speaking in real sentences now. and she sings. all the time. she has like 3-4 songs that she repeats throughout the day. she can even sing a bit in switzerduutch, which is very funny.
i have work here and there in juggling, today i drive 3 hours due south to the desert to make a little fire show. going to warm up the desert a bit...
