so confused!!!

We forgot to tell you all this hilarious story. Nonny and Poppa Herby Kauvar hosted the Wallk family for breakfast at the avenue plaza hotel during their stay there for Leiby's and Chayala's wedding. My great aunt Gayle and uncle Gibby had left. They were the only remaining out of town guests. Uncle Gibby is about the same age, height and stature as Herby is. At the breakfast Motty looked up at me all confused and asked "mommy where is the other Herby?"

Succos is in the air!

Hey we are back after a long break...not even sure why, maybe just too busy to go on-line. We are having a beautiful Succos this year. We got to spend time with both the Steinberg's and the Wallk's and even with the junior Wallk's, which was so nice. Motty went to see Zeidy Wallk's new indoor succah. He said he thought that the old succah was so good last year outside. Suri told him "this one is also good", so he said "yeah it's also good but outisde is very good."
Motty and Miri both loved the fun of running in and out without someone breathing down their backs half as much.
Miri is talking so much it's real cute the things she says... Miri and her uncle Mordche get along so well together, you have to see how she runs right to him first, he is so thrilled!
If ever she gets a boo boo and is crying (about 10 times a day) when asked where is the boo boo? She will always show you her left index finger and thumb! She can also win the miss independence award. She has her own agenda and won't tolerate being guided or told what to do. if she wants to walk or run it is at her digression in which direction that should be even in a busy place like liberty Island where we went today. She ran up the hill and stood hands on her hips to supervise her bigger cousins roll down the hill. she loved the seagulls and was ready to follow them everywhere the only issue is that they can fly even over water...
Motty had a fantastic time too. We went on a boat ride to and from the Island, and he loves boats. There were loads of sail boats out on the water and they were such a thrill for him as well. His totty told him look there is a big ship and Motty looked up at him knowingly and said "uh uh it's an ocean liner!" thanks to Bobby he knew what it was called already and was so proud of the info.
Have a gut moed everyone!

First day of school

Yesterday was Mottys very first day at "my sheeva yagdil tolah"! He woke up with such excitement it was so cute. funny that this little stinker is having a first day of school already. He was babbling about the bus he will go on and mentally choosing which cousin should be sharing his seat for the ride to yeshiva. He came home happy and soooo tired that he conked out for a little bit. Oh and he has a friend "Sleaze Gopleib" I checked the class list and it is Tzvi Gottleib it's amazing how easily you can screw a name up! Yesterday he came home saying he wants snack...no problem but after lunch I told him anyway your morah gave you snack not so long ago (so couldn't be that hungry) uh uh morah only gave wafers. I guess snack has to come in a small bag! This morning Motty was a little disappointed he wanted to take stuff in his backpack... but he only needs a penny (which he refuses to give in school-only give tzedakkah in our pushka!) which isn't that big. he is used to taking swimming things and a snack and drink from the summer.

I hear wedding bells...

Mazel Tov to the newest couple in the Wallk family, our favorite baby brother Leiby and our cousin turned Sister-in-law/aunt Chaya'la Steinberg. It was a gorgeous wedding!!! We had a fantastic time dancing the night away. Miri was really proud of herself in her beautiful gown. She kept running and throwing herself into her cousin's lap and giggling as she plopped onto the floor in a big white fluff. Our princess had her hair done in an updo that lasted aprox a half an hour before the crown was hurled onto the floor and her hair was just a mess of hairspray. Motty was the hansome gentlemen of the evening. He was so happy to prance around in his "shuit" even if it wasn't a suit he sure liked the word. We told him a couple of days before the weeding that we are having special guests coming Nonny, Grandma... and he said "uh uh I saw Grandma at Mrs. Cohen's house" well now he says "it wasn't the same one, it was our grandma!" so we are making progress. I told Motty before Shabbos that tomorrow Miri is staying at the Shain's while we go to Sheva Brachos. He was so proud he kept reminding Miri all day that she can't come but he can, it's a good thing she didn't get it 'cuz he was really trying to rub it in.
tonight Bobby and Zeidy Wallk are making the last Sheva brachos and we are all going so I better move it if we will all be ready to leave on time.
