Can today really be
the 9th of December? My last post was on the 30th of
November, and that feels like it was just yesterday. I guess that is what being
busy really means!
After our busy
Thanksgiving weekend, we had planned to stay in New York this past weekend.
Somehow, we had failed to realize that Maya had an important event at school on
Friday, at which each of the 2nd graders receive their Chumash
(what is known as The Five Books of Moses). The hope is that this will plant
the seeds for a lifetime of Jewish learning and community.
Maya had one of the lead
roles in the play that the class put on, with quite a few lines that she
delivered flawlessly. She is petite but she has a certain presence and no
trouble making herself heard. Exhausting as it all was, we are glad we were
able to be there and celebrate with her, her parents, and both sets of her grandparents
together. A couple of pictures are here.
Here is a quick
picture of our grandchildren taken the first night of Chanukah. Joshua bent down a bit so he wouldn't tower over the others!
So now this weekend
will be a quieter one. I do have some other things I want to right about and
hope I will get to them in the next few days.
Have a great week.
Here in the east it looks like we are going to have a relatively warm weekend.
No complaints from me!
Love,
Rebecca
