Dear Family & Friends,
We're trying something new this year - a holiday letter! Sending you our highlights of the year as well as some Christmas and Hanukkah cheer.
Liam Benjamin Gershony, biggest news of course, arrived on August 20, 2009 with the cutest dimple on his right cheek. Proving he's indeed the mellow youngest sibling, Liam is thankfully sleeping through the night and melting us with his gregarious coos and smiles.
David at 4 years, is getting more comfortable in his role as big brother - giving Liam kisses and toys (trust us, that's big) and sharing his room with Oren. David also learned how to pedal on his tricycle this year and found new independence-from dressing himself in the morning to being completely potty trained and learning how to zip his jacket. Piano lessons earlier this year were not as interesting as the candy given out and summer school at the local montessori didn't quite meet the cars and trucks quota.
Oren is sprouting at 2 years, loves puzzles, music, books and gives great hugs and kisses. Keeping up with big brother, Oren follows David's every move yet still manages to hold his own (especially when David tries out new words from preschool on him). Kindermusik in the spring was a chance to meet other kids his age and no more crying during haircuts was a big achievement.
Ori is still loving it at Google and finds time to work out a few times a week, play basketball and try out karate.
Mandy tries to keep up with the whir and enjoys time off from the boys when she works at a new dental office three days a week.
Wishing you happy holidays, health and happiness in the New Year!
Love - David, Oren, Liam, Mandy & Ori
