One year
Wanna see my tongue?!!?
Me and my Bubbie, me and my Bubbie!
Hi, my name is Eliana, and I'm cute! (and eating chocolate, I think)
Ahh, nothing like a good wooden puzzle piece in the morning!
Super mommy! Babysitting a sleeping baby + taking care of two (2) cranky babies of my own = the above
One year
Bracha saying, "I love the new Marzipan cafe thiiiiiis much!"

On a day trip to Tel Aviv. Notice how well the new awesome BundleMes match the stroller?!

Here are some more pictures to enjoy:

First time having their own dish at a restaurant! Fettuccine alfredo from Caffit, yum!!
Eliana making faces at the camera and Bracha as tired as can be
Zaidy and Eli all dressed for shabbat in her new sparkly skirt
Bracha in her matching outfit playing with the baby gate. Notice the shoes, eh?!

I know you guys all want to see pictures and videos, and I really will try to be better at putting them up more often. But right now there is something else on my mind.
In three days Eliana is scheduled to have surgery. I'm not going to go into all the details up here but basically she is having abdominal surgery that will involve a 5-10 day hospital stay. This is not unexpected, it is something we have known was coming her whole life. But now that it's actually here, it's much harder. I can't begin to describe how awful it is for a mother to think about her baby going in to surgery. I hate the thought of her being in pain, of her not understanding what is going on and of her having to deal with recovery.
There is another issue at hand that also makes this difficult. Leaving Bracha in the hospital the day Eliana and I came home after their birth was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. It kills me that there were a couple of days that, while recovering from a c-section in my fourth-floor walk-up while taking care of one newborn, I didn't even make it to the hospital to visit my other baby. I know what it is like to have one twin at home and the other in the hospital. That makes this both easier, having already been through it, and harder, knowing how awful it is.
At least this time one of us will be with Eli 24/7, instead of having to leave her at night like we did with Bracha when she was in the NICU (they didn't have facilities for parents to stay). Bracha plus whichever one of us isn't at the hospital/at work will be with my parents at their home, so she'll be getting plenty of attention. But I'm worried about them missing each other (because for those of you who asked, they are definitely aware of each other. They play together all the time and seek one another out to play). Being apart will not be easy for them, either.
I look forward to the surgery to be over, for her wounds to be healed, and to finally be able to put this whole thing, that has been hanging over our heads all year, behind us.
Please keep our daughter in your thoughts and/or prayers on Thursday, and we'll give you updates as we can.

One year!
Bubbie and Zaidy have been visiting from Toronto (and thus the lack of updates, but huge stock of new adorable clothing!). They came for the girls' birthday and Purim. The result: tons of awesome new pictures and videos! So here are a few to whet your appetite. Enjoy!

11 months
I know there was a problem with the videos lately but I think I've fixed it, one is even posted twice. So enjoy!
Kids are awesome, teething like crazy, babbling, eating, and biting a lot, too. Not sleeping all that well these days but I guess they just feel they have too much growing to do to have time to sleep. They've also been super clingy, which is nice to be wanted by your kid, I know we'll miss it when they turn twelve, but also kinda annoying when I have to go to work or the bathroom.
