Big Day for Noah



Tomorrow is Noah’s third birthday, and we were fortunate to be able to share the celebration at his school, which will be followed by a whole family party at Shabbat lunch tomorrow.






At the risk of sounding immodest, how cute is this little guy? He really is as adorable as he looks in the pictures. And he is a true member of our family: he attacked his birthday cupcake with great determination and skill, barely missing a drop.

We also had a chance to stop over at Shaloh House, a local Jewish pre-school of which Simmie is now in her second year as Preschool and Early Childhood Care Director. The school underwent some recent renovations, and we got the full tour. Meeting all the teachers with their glowing compliments of our daughter was total naches! For those of you who don’t know that Yiddish word, I looked it up and the first match provided the perfect definition:

Naches (נחת) is a Yiddish word that means "pride" or "joy." Typically, naches refers to the pride or joy that a child brings a parent.

Have a great weekend!

Love,

Rebecca
