In typical March fashion, some days feel like winter in the morning and spring in the afternoon. The days are getting longer, the kids are getting antsier, and we are planning for birthdays and Pesach! We had a joyous Purim, Hersh and I went to the Anthem to see Jim Gaffigan--how fun to go out downtown with HBB. Lu had her "Beverage Bacteria" Inquiry Project and a beautiful Israeli dance show. Sender went to the Wizards Game and Hersh had his BSAD banquet and the flu:(
Well, it's still winter. The snow finally melted and then more fell. Jacob is away and I spent 4 hrs driving the kids around yesterday. Im doing my best to keep it all going but wow, it's all a lot! Hamantaschen are being baked and we are looking ahead to Sender's birthday as well! Lu is rehearsing for her Spring Concert and Hersh is busy with all the things. I know I'll miss these days when they are quiet, because my kids are so wonderful. I'll need a dog and a hug. Lu turned 12.5 and we had a great day w Savta!
The end of January and the start of February brought a huge snow/ice storm. Days at home, schools closed for days as well... Hersh even came to work with me one day. We watch Indiana Jones, Hersh made $$$ shoveling and learned so much about elderly neighbors and manual labor. I then went to Costa Rica for a work retreat, and am so grateful for the professional success. It was such a gift to know that all was well at home (although the first night that I cooked when I was back at home, Hersh exclaimed joy, and AlteLu said that 6 days of veggie burgers was too much:). Sender had an amazing hagigah--the DC Expo, Hersh got his driver's permit (!!!), and Lu has been dancing with Julia Frost!
