Still Winter.....

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!

So much snow & Costa Rica!

 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!
