			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It ocurred to me, that I started my blog the other day, but yet didn&#8217;t really tell you about me, Ben Shaffer. Not a subject for one post I think, but let me show you my proudest parts first and then we&#8217;ll work down from there&#8230;</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://www.shmoozewithben.com/photos/meshiroi.jpg"><img alt="Meshi and Roi Shaffer" src="http://www.shmoozewithben.com/photos/meshiroi.jpg" title="Meshi and Roi" width="360" height="270" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Meshi and Ro&#39;i Shaffer</p></div>
<p>Those are my darlings. </p>
<p>My daughter on the right is nearly two and a half. Her name is : Oriyah Meshi Tzvia (Trying saying that fast). No-one knows where she gets her curly hair from as mine was always dead straight as is evidenced from photos of younger days. Her hobbies are waking up at night and giving a running commentary of her life (Meshi sits on the chair. Meshi eats chicken etc.)</p>
<p>My Son on the left is Ro&#8217;i Moshe Elchanan (blame my wife. I didn&#8217;t pick the names). He is about 4 months old in that photo. He is the first Shaffer in 7 generations to have blue eyes. He enjoys cooing like a bird and generally looking surprised.</p>
<p>They totally worship each other which is really cute <img src='http://www.shmoozewithben.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://www.shmoozewithben.com/photos/benroi.jpg"><img alt="Ben and roi" src="http://www.shmoozewithben.com/photos/benroi.jpg" title="Ben and Roi" width="360" height="480" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ben and ro&#39;i</p></div>
<p>This is me with my son. I actually had wanted a daughter as Meshi is so great, but now I have a son I have to tell you that there is just no feeling in the world like having one. There is a massive bond between us even at this age and he makes me happy just by him cooing at me. In this photo he is pretending to help me with my work.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 356px"><a href="http://www.shmoozewithben.com/photos/family.jpg"><img alt="The whole family" src="http://www.shmoozewithben.com/photos/family.jpg" title="The whole family" width="346" height="480" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The whole family</p></div>
<p>That&#8217;s my kids as well as my wife Gina. With every passing day, our life together gets greater. I just hope it&#8217;s the same for her <img src='http://www.shmoozewithben.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Great story how we met involving a taxi-cab and a mighty hangover, but we&#8217;ll save that for another day.</p>
