It's official!!!

My brother, Idan, has officially proposed to his girlfriend of over 2 years, Amy, last night!!! All of the details are still pending, but the proposal took place in a nice French restaurant on their way up to Maine with a beautiful ring from Nuggets & Carats courtesy of Brian Hassine in Mission Viejo, CA. Amy just finished her Bar Exam yesterday, as well...so congrats again. The wedding is set to take place in Maine in June 2008. The couple has set up their own wedding website and the link is on the right under Mike's Call Countdown, along with my parent's website link. Can't wait to see pics of the ring!

We are so proud of Sylvie and Jonathan. They are both doing very well and continue to surprise us daily with their development. Sylvie is much more alert and awake now, and mostly during the day too! She has also started smiling and has even cood once or twice, which makes waking up at 3am more bareable. She's still nursing well and is getting chubbier. Jonathan has now started to put 3 words together and says "kick the ball" and "one more time". Of course, his favorite expression is "eat food!!!". He's starting to pick up on the alphabet and this cute video shows him singing along to "A says 'a' and 'ahh'!".

With all of the exciting events and visitors that we've had lately, I neglected to mention another very important milestone in our lives. Mike has finally entered his LAST YEAR of residency!!! Since he still has a year afterwards to complete his fellowship, it doesn't feel like his last year, but it is his last year of having to stay for overnight calls. And in honor of this final year of calls, I have created a "Call Countdown" which can be found on the right side, under the weather tab. Thankfully, Mike's last call is in February to allow him to maximize his time to study for the Oral Boards (in June). And he is off to his first call (16 more after this one) of his last year tonight.

Jonathan turns 2, and Sylvie is 1 month old!

Jonathan turned 2 this week and Sylvie became one month old. Time is flying and we're enjoying watching them change every day. Sylvie's cheeks are filling out and she's starting to get cute thigh rolls. Jonathan is surprising us daily with new words and he adores his little sister. Jonathan had his 2 year physical and did wonderfully. For his birthday, we had a little celebration at home, and another little party at his daycare.

Sylvie is 3 weeks old today!

Sylvie is three weeks old today and she's doing great! Yoni seems to have adjusted very well to her and runs to me with her pacifier when she starts to cry. Her most recent weigh-in was at the pediatrician's office on Monday at which point she weighed 7 lbs, 15 oz, so she's definitely gaining weight. This week ended on a sad note, as Saba and Savta ("Tata") left to go back to Kansas. We all miss them very much, espcially Yoni, who really had a great time with them. He'll probably forget how to insert a filter into the coffee machine by the time he sees them again :)
