Lots of life!

We've had a lot of life happening over here these past few weeks!  We took our annual Rosh HaShannah apple picking trip.  It was enjoyed by all, and Sender seemed to have a light bulb moment when realizing that apples come from trees!
Then Mr. Sweetie Baby turned18 months old!  And Jacob and I officially feel like we don't have a baby anymore.  We are quickly passing on too small clothing and baby gear, I'm just about done nursing, and Sender is dipping his tow into school by attending the kangaroo class.
We then welcomed in 5780 and enjoyed hosting dinner for lots of loved ones, which all of the kids referred to as a party:)  The big kids are busy with school and their lives, but are so happy to be home cooking, reading, and adventuring with each other--and we are so grateful that they have each other!
This past weekend we hosted Quacky (Lu's class pet) and participated in Hersh's cubscout hike at Calvert Cliffs.   Sender walked about .5 miles and all 5 of us were so happy to be hiking and beaching---fossil hunting to be exact.  Now we will launch into ore hagim, hope for rain, and keep on sliding into Fall!
