Grandchildren Grow So Fast

I can't believe how big our great grandchildren are getting already. Soon one will be 14 and the youngest are 6 months. The little ones are doing new things every day. It is amazing how they learn to talk and carry on a real conversation with you when they get over two years old. They really go through a multitude of stages, from sitting, to crawling, walking and talking and the next thing you know they are in school. It all goes too fast.

Olmert Hosts Abbas in Fresh Talks

The Israeli and Palestinian leaders have held talks in Jerusalem, the latest in a series to bolster Mahmoud Abbas's Palestinian government. The leaders did not issue statements after the talks, meant to pave the way for an international peace conference. Israel has backed Mr. Abbas since his Islamist rivals Hamas seized control of Gaza in June, but made few concessions.
