Let it rain

A lot has been happening lately and so I haven't had a chance to sit down to record it all. Sunday, October 16th, we sent Margalit to Maytal's house for a sleep over. This was a big step, not only was Margalit having her first sleep over at a friend's house here, but she was going to walk over by herself. She packed her bags, brought a book and left. Not bad. But then, 5 minutes later the front door bell rings. Who could that be? Margalit? She comes running through the door shouting, "It's raining!!! It's raining!!!" I never thought anyone could be so excited for rain. It turned out to be not much more than a shower, but it was the first real rain we've seen in months. All the kids ran out to the porches, and ran around the house celebrating the rain.

As it turns out, it usually doesn't rain in October. The next week we also had one day of rain, but since then, we've been back to sunny skies. That's good because we didn't want the rain to interfere with our vacation in the Golan.
