Noa

Noa was born November 9th, 7 lbs 14 oz, 19 inches long.

Pictures from hospital...

Pictures from home... (I think everyone's adjusting more or less okay)

Li'el is old enough this time around to be pretty into the baby thing, which probably pulls Eytan and Oren into it more too.  Even Oren, who is talking a ton these days, seems pretty happy to see Noa, although sometimes he wishes all grownup laps were available baby-free.

Some of Eytan's friends from school came over...

And... a few leftover pre-Noa pictures...


from a fall farm visit hayride thing, where we also got pumpkins (see below)...

which, unlike last year when we succeeded in getting very small ones, the kids got super excited about finding huge pumpkins...

and carving them...


and in school they made lanterns for an evening lantern walk in the park... which was both exciting and maybe a little scary to be out after dark.


Here's one more-awake picture, 'til I manage to get back and write a little more.  I guess the short version is so far, so good, all doing okay, mostly the standard little bumps and blips of all of us adjusting to new balance, but Noa is so far a pretty calm baby... so we'll see...
