If you are a blog reader of mine you might remember a certain adorable baby this time last year, and then a charming little dude this past winter. Well the S man is back, and literally more adorable than before, if that is possible. I met up with the Mr. S and his adorable family...

Our favorite is the first, followed by the feet! Memorable family photos…very natural and warm.

I loved seeing your beautiful baby pictures and you both loving parents. Your Mom was my adopted daughter during her stay at the kibbutz, and we are still in contact. Seeing you girls grow up, marry and have children, brings me tears of happiness for you, and the “grandparents”. May you have only “pleasures” from your daughter.
BevAugust 23, 2010 - 5:55 am
Talia is so precious. Can’t wait to meet her.

Love,

I can see the difference from the newborn photos. Watch her – she is growing up fast!!! And each stage you will enjoy and marvel over. I hope I get to meet Talia in person some day. But since we are a continent apart, please send lots of pictures.

We just got back from Switzerland and so are just seeing these pictures. They are wonderful! I love them all – and am very interested to find outmore about the necklace your family and friends made… and of course can’t wait to meet Talia.

Glad to hear things are going smoothly. Wish were all weren’t so spreadout across the country!! Missing you all.
