Congrats Mike & Liz!

Our little niece is born!
She was actually born yesterday. Her name is Maya Alyssa (I think) :-P
I had to put up this pic, as she's so cute, sucking her thumb just like Jeanette would(and still does at times)! It must run in the family :-P
I'll post more pix as soon as they take some.
Luv u Mike & Liz!

Olive picking

Most of the members of our home went olive picking for 3 days, about a month ago, it was suposed to be a 1, 2 day thing but it turned out to be a 3 day activity...
It was a fun experience even though Nemas cut his eye the first day with a branch, some people got a few head-aches, & we got a few clothes stained...

Jeanette trying to reach the olives with her little rake :-)
