Milestones!

 This past week was full of lots of milestones--Sender turning 4, starting soccer again, and his first real birthday party.  AlteLu--Hagigat HaChumash, an incredible ballet performance, and having to practice using her moral courage with friends.  Hersh was reunited with Frida (and we with all the Siegelbaums), went on his first post Covid field trip, and is reading "Animal Farm."  It's all happening so quickly.  Jacob and I are in sync, and doing our best to keep up, with our priorities being continued love, connection, and togetherness.  When our children look back on their childhood I hope they will remember all of the love, laughter, and patience.  I sometimes worry that they are deprived of 1:1 time with us, but ah well, we are a pack of 5, and I truly treasure each day.

4!

 Tomorrow my sweetest little man is 4!  I cant believe it--what a complete and utter gift it is to have him in my life.  Everyday I am beyond grateful that we decided to have #3--and am in complete awe of the 3 amazing children that we've created.  Sender is funny, sweet, mischievous, eager, silly, and always ready for the next party.  No bedtime is too late.  Any bed is good for a nap.  He expects dessert every night, and his favorite playmates are his siblings.  He loves school, cars, pirates, the park, movies, riding bikes, stories, and just being in the mix.  Our love for him is abundant, and if anyone asks me if they should have a 3rd, the delight that is Sender is a resounding yes!  We also had Purim and an amazing family trip to Boston for NavaRufest xoxo
