So I am now a second class citizen! The kids can't get enough of Papi and are eating up every bit of his energy, time and love. By the end of the day, they were into family togetherness, so I guess they are redeeming themselves and I am now slowly re-entering their good graces. We went back to Tel Aviv today. The shuk HaCarmel is starting to resemble the Santee Alley and the Nahalat Benyamin street fair seemed to have the same kinda stuff it had 4 years ago. it was still fun and I guess just a sign that Israel feels like our second home. The kids were also super excited to show Papi Tel Aviv and I am really getting a hang on how to get around the place. We also stopped by the Eretz Israel Museum in Ramat Aviv and took a lovely drive through the old port city of Jaffa. This evening, a BBQ dinner thrown in Gabriel's honor, was held at Momi and Leah's. Everyone attempted to over feed us and Pepe kept us entertained with his crazy stories. He told me today that in addition to his Bar Mitzvah announcement, he also believes he has his and Meme's wedding invitation. Hopefully, he will share soon!
