 As we settle in for Sukkot, I need to record that Mr. Sweetie Baby started preschool and soccer, and we celebrated the New Year.  Outdoor shul is completely the speed that works for our family, and rain makes tent davening even more magical.  The big kids are busy and happy--today they walked home from the bus together, let themselves in, and made lunch--so big and independent.  Sender is settling into life in the Ya'arot class, and seems happy with the experience of school.  The mornings go pretty smoothly at long as Jacob and I are out of bed by 530am/6am respectively.  Sept 18 was our 21 year "dating" anniversary, and soon we head to NY for a family wedding.  

6th & 3rd

 2/3 kids are now in school---in 6th and 3rd grade, with Sender getting his turn to start preschool soon--or later--since "later means tomorrow" as he often reminds us.  The week as exhausting for all--thank goodness  a 5 day weekend--thank goodness for the holiday infused month of September.  I'm exhausted and need to figure out how to make more time me (any time?) for me.  Kids are a delight--we are constantly in awe and so proud of them.  AlteLu got WA as her "state", Hersh seems pleased with his advisory for MS, and I dream of moving to Hawaii and homeschooling them all.
