We travelled today to Nahal Kelach near Haifa University. It is a luscious forest with lots of green around. It was the annual memorial walk for Haim's cousin's husband Moshe Manteka, who died of cancer nine years ago. He was a special man who worked in the police force and treasured photography. His pictures are just gorgeous. This year's theme was in honor of just that - finding the three photos that highlighted the trip.
So every year, families get together while the little ones play with their friends, cousins, and get to know others at the same time. I suddenly feel in a small bubble by people who knew and loved Moshe and through him, we are loved as well. It is a nice feeling.

Israel is so beautiful at this time of year. Aside from the little bugs flying in the air, the air was cool and perfect for walking. With Ivry in his little Snuggli, we were ready to go until Haim decided that the steep declines might result in something hitting Ivry in the face. So we made our own trip walking around and saw the tower of Haifa University, from a distance - the place where I earned my MA in English Literature exactly four years ago.
This year there was an artist's workshop featuring handmade natural materials such as pinecones and dried pears. We strung beads to make mobiles and necklaces and key rings.
And finally, some beautiful pictures.
Somebody was enjoying the chocolate from the handmade pitas. (picture 4)
Two gingies. (picture 3) I love this one.
Ivry on Independence Day jumpies. Let's jump for Freedom! (picture 2)
Ivry and Klil from the gan on Daddy's lap (picture 1).
I count my blessings for each and every picture and to be able to enjoy it with my small brood.

Congratulations on your new blog. I love the chocolate face, it's such a part of childhood here. I've got a picture from the celebration with the ganim with Itai and his friends all sitting in a line, each eating their chocolate pita, each with half of it smeared all over their face (it will be many more years before Ivry learns to eat one neatly).
I hope you had a good holiday my friend.
Their red curls are adorable. Picture perfect.
