So many simchas!

 This past weekend, Hersh lead the OKC community in beautiful davening, AlteLu had an incredible ballet performance (I cried through both musaf and ballet), we took family pictures, and had the Arcade Party!  Everything was smooth, joyful, and perfect---and there was way too much food!  Sender is living his best life--full of friends, library books, naps, and his first pre-team practice.  AlteLu also gave us a beautiful piano house concert, and I did Hersh's Krypton poster for him.  Now I need to get us ready for Israel, while the big kids finish school!

1/2 way there!

 We are half way to summer!  Sender and I have transitioned to our "summer schedule" as he had his siyyum on Friday.  So bittersweet that the Gan chapter has ended for him.  He had the BEST experience with his band of brothers, and the kindest teachers--beyond grateful.  Now we lean in to the weeks "in between" and wait for the other kids to done.  Our life is fully consumed by bar mitzvah prep and happenings, and I cant believe its all about to go down!  Months and months of prep, planning, studying, etc.   Exciting, emotional, energizing, overwhelming times ahead!
