Update (by Danielle)

Hey! I think it's been mounths since my mother updated (for personal reasons) and I just wanted to keep you posted! So my parents got divorced, somethig my mom wrote on the blog before she told us! And now its almost Halloween! We don't celebrate halloween in isreal but its still a date to remember... Anyway, we (Maya, Lior and I) flew to Chicago alone this summer because of the divorce and because my mother toke a teaching course and is now teaching in Mahagan Michael School! Anyway, we celebrated liors birthday in Chicago, following the tradition and meeting the family at Kegan (a japanise restaurant) for dinner! We were so late that we had the restaurat to ourselves! we stayed in Chicago for six weeks, and then it was back to isreal for the last two weeks of summer break. We pretty much just lofed around for two weeks, and then school started... lemme tell ya, not fun. It was soooooo anoying to have to go back to school after such a great break but we had to anyway... Well, on September 29 my birthday came up and we celebrated at my grandmother's house. My parents still haven't gotten me a birthday presant because I didn't know what I wanted, so a few days ago I thought of the perfect presant: a cat! Mom said Maybe and when Lior heard that I might be getting a cat she suddenly dicided that she NEEDS a parrot, so stay posted, 'cause we ight be ntroducing two new members of the family soon!
