past week's list

Friday February 27:
yum: quick 5 minute meal prep turned out to be a good Shabbat meal, pineapple chicken & rice

Saturday Feb 28:
good decision: Haley decided to skip/postpone her play date so she could have lunch with her cousins, I'm so proud of her!

proud again: the report from the play date is that Haley was a fantastic guest and helped clean up

role modeling: she learned that last week from cousin E, who helped Haley clean her room

quality: girls night in, 5 of us, real conversation, laughs, smiles, stories, tears. refreshing depth, quality women

Sunday March 1:
like riding a bicycle: I led an event today, earned some $$$, realized that I CAN still pull it off, speak clearly, inspire, teach, adapt, facilitate etc. if I wasn't so tired with a huge headache I would have a big smile

I earned it: husband cooked dinner tonight, hamburgers to replace some lost iron

the count: one more tooth!, from H1, E1, N0 to H2!, E1, N0

Monday March 2:
9 month check up: and every one got a good report

helper of the day: savta, for coming to the dr. with us, she cried when they were screaming from their shots and blood draw

another helper, still coming weekly: Sade, what a help!

Tuesday March 3:

Sai: dinner to celebrate Haley's birthday, with Abby and E & N, plus Talia stayed late to help and come with us, yum, fun
Sheheheyanu: first time the whole family went out to eat!

Wednesday March 4:
another shehehayanu: while at Carrie's house, Betzalel rolled over for the first time!, from tummy to back three times, whoo hoo!

bewildered smile: sitting with one baby while Darlene, Carrie's baby fed another and the third was having tummy time, I felt overwhelmed, "there are three babies here", I thought, so funny I understood how people feel when entering our home, though I don't feel it with my children

Thursday March 5:
it is over: husband has sinus surgery, all went well thank God
thank you: mom for sleeping over last night and taking care of the babies today

always happy to see: Stacey, who flew in to help out with the babies while I'm playing nurse to husband

Friday March 6:
growing up so quickly: E held her bottle for the first time
almost there: have a feeling that N will sprout a tooth soon
let the sun shine in: beautiful, sunny, warm day and I enjoyed it while escorting husband to the doctor, then for a bonus lunch out together
thank you: Aunt Stacey!

thank you even more: for giving every one much needed baths
more moments in the sun: little trip to make an exchange, my cash for a used but hard-to-find choo choo wagon

oh so big: N hung out in the stokke trip trapp while I prepared dinner, what a big girl in her chair!
Shabbat Shalom: candles glowing, the most easy yummy meal (blsl chicken breast w/bbq sauce, rice and hummus), with special guest Stacey

Happy Birthday: to Haley who is now 7! (and enjoying an extravagant birthday weekend swimming with the dolphins in Orlando
