Beach Time and Swim Lessons

This past weekend the one and only Aunt Mimi came for a visit.  As usual it was a treat for all three of us to have one of our very favorites with us for the weekend.  We had a lovely Shabbat dinner and Hersh launched his rockets that he received from his last day of summer camp.  We made a trip to the farmer's market and Aunt Mimi bought Hersh a beta fish, whom he named Cooper.  Unfortunately, Cooper only lasted 2 days and we are now fishless once again.  On Sunday we went to Sandy Point State Park and enjoyed an overcast morning at the beach.  We all cant wait for Aunt Mimi's next visit.

This week Hersh and I have been enjoying what is the last period of time that is truly just "Hershel/Imma" time before the baby arrives.  It is so bittersweet, as of course we are excited for the baby, but I am truly going to miss the closeness and partnership that he and I have.  He started swim lessons this week and we have been enjoying local adventures.  I feel grateful that the weather has been manageable and cannot believe that within the next 2-3 weeks we will get to meet our next child!
