Fika!

 I just returned from a trip to Sweden where I spent time with my dear friend, Rhoda and her sweet children.  My friend Amy was there too and the trip was to bring love and support as Johnny, our dear friend, passed away this summer, very unexpectedly.  Stockholm is a beautiful city,  with delicious baked goods.  I am grateful we had the chance to be together.

Jacob and the kids did well in my absence--and we are grateful for the support of our friends and community.  The weeks continue to be truncated and we are getting ready for Sukkot.  Sender is sure the weather feels like Fall and I have a lot of cooking ahead of me.

5785!

 Shanah Tovah and welcome to 5785!  We just welcomed in another year and had a beautiful holiday weekend of friends and family doing so.  We are also holding everything that has happened over the past year...there are no words and Im ready to make aliyah.

We went apple picking yesterday which was a beautiful old school family activity.  We are so grateful for our 5-some and each moment together.  Wishing for safety, peace, happiness, sweetness and joy for all people throughout the world.  

 

Busy & Steady--6.5!

 Busy and steady is how I can best describe our life these days.  So, so busy with school, work, extracurricular activities--all the things!  But we are also steady---happy, healthy, and thriving.  We ventured to NY last weekend for the Ambalu bar mitzvah, visited Boro Park, Manhattan where we saw the Blue Man Group--and a lady on the street in the East Village at 11pm on Saturday night said, "wow!  you actually seem happy!"  We stayed with cousins and spent the afternoon in Belmar, honoring Sharnt's 2 year yahrzeit with a toast at the Princess Maria Diner.  Now a "normal" week as we prepare for RH.  Our Mr. Sweetie Baby is 6.5 years old today--and as Jacob said--halfway to bar mitzvah!
