OT for Jack H.
Hi Jack, I tried to post to you individually but it came back. Congrats on
your recent aliyah; I was an olah hadasha 8 years ago; we've been back in the States for almost 2 years now. My twins were born in Israel (Beilinson) and baby was born in the States. If you need a friendly ear of someone who has been there/done that the culture shock, feel free to email us. Happy Hanukkah! Gretchen " Havent been around in a while, But not really a newbie. Life in Israel is different I can say that much! Been here 6 months now. Culture shock was and is still a daily thing. Work hours are long and pay is low. The kids Abiail and Jonathan are the light of my life. Born September 10 2002 10:25 and 1030 am EST (GMT+5). They started walking at 11 and 10 months respectively and are enjoying their time in daycare with great nannys (for lack of a better word, I find my english skills deteriorating, every day I am forgetting words in my native tongue!). The first month or 2 of day care I wasnt working, woke up with the kids and liesurely got the kids to the DC center in time for breakfast, 8:30, hung around for an extra half hour talking to the help and getting to know all the kids every day and all the nannies thought I should work there, I guess because of the way I played with all the kids and made them laugh. There are 11 kids in their age group with 2-3 nannys to care for them! At the Chanukah party all the kids who could walk left their parents arms and came over to say hello to me to the amazement of their parents, at least half of which I have never seen. the othere got all excited when I came over to say hi! man I love kids! I havent seen mine awake in 2 days and that was my biggest fear in coming here and having to work the hours for the pay again but 1 sallary just will not cut it here. Tomorrow is another story. from 12 pm tomorrow to bed time saturday is the time I live for. Abigail and Jonathan are a handful but the times when they push each other and laugh or chase each other around the sofa and fall into a bundle together, both trying to get up and pull the other one down again all the while laughing in the pure, crisp, crystal bell tone of innocent dlighted laughter makes it all worth it. They are enjoying the things here that we did not have in NY and that makes it all worth while. Sorry for not posting more freequently but I am still here. ~Kimberly Mommy to Alexis Iliana 07/17/99 and Emma Elidia & Aislyn Gabriela 10/01/02 come see us... http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/aislynemma/ Jack |

Roll Call
Hi,
I'm Diana (35) with DH Ray (36). We have soon to be 5 (in January) year old triplets, Jared, Vanessa, & Grace. They were 36 weekers, pregnancy after 2.5 years IF, we had success with Gonal F and back to back IUIs. Oh, and they were c-section - 10:05 am, 10:06 am, and 10:08 am birth times. We have 2 dogs as well - I call them twins - although their litter was 11 (what would that be called, anyway?) - named Marbles and Belle who are 7 &1/2. (we used to be quite the sight around the neighborhood with the triple stroller and two dogs to boot) I've been posting here on and off since they were born back in '99. Great group. Diana |

Hi, I'm Kim (34) and dh is Dave (35). Our ID girls (Chelsea and Courtney)
are turning 13 years old tomorrow, which is making me feel ancient. I mostly lurk here and rarely post, as my girls are older than most of the little ones here. I am here everyday however, mostly feeling very empathetic and nostalgic. This group is amongst the more warm and genuine of those I read, and its nice to read the stories of your families. Thanks, Kim Chelsea and Courtney 12/27/90 |

Kim,
Congrats to your girls or young ladies as they are now. 13, boy, I'm struggling with 9 now, hair under the arms, developing AA breasts and other things. Hormones are something to deal with that I'm not sure about yet. My DH is 57 and I'm 51. We conceived the twins (nine in less than 30 days), when I was 42. We live with my MIL taking care of her at 88. Wishing everyone a happy holiday! Shirley Chris and Kathleen 1/95 "KimAK" wrote in message t... Hi, I'm Kim (34) and dh is Dave (35).
