Saturday March 28:
auf ruf: here we go...
Torah Torah Torah: during the kriyah Haley asked me to point at where we were, she followed my finger and chanted along. kind of a layning niggun, but oh so adorable for this seven year old blondie
children's service: Haley wanted to go, sat right in the front, and went up to lead most of the service. she knows her davenning.
flashback: looked at Bat Mitzvah class photos of myself and my sister, reminder of bad hair style past (when I got a Dorothy Hamill instead of the feather I asked for!)
bad hair present: growing increasingly frustrated with my so-so haircut from Wednesday, I took matters into my own hands post-Shabbat
new career?: I took a razor blade and channeled Shane, my hair is much improved, actually looks great, woo hoo!
Shabbos nap: I took a long nap on mom's couch for the first time since before I was pregnat
Daddy day: Jeff was with our triplets ALL day, while Haley and I were at shul and then at mom/savta's house for the day
ahhhhhh: did I mention that I fell asleep and slept for hours interrupted mid-day?
Sunday March 29:
what's that?: N's SECOND tooth! just days after her first tooth appeared
shehecheyanu: wore my new pearl necklace for the first time, thanks husband for my beautiful gift
siman tov u'mazal tov: to mom and her new husband and their myriad of children and grandchildren
vision in white: all the granddaughters in their poofy cream dresses
sameah t'samach: what a joy to see this happiness, a new beginning
unique: to be a daughter officiating at her mother's wedding
beautiful: mom's friends made a gorgeous wedding
couldn't have done it without: Talia, yeah!, who spent the entire day with us
I love: my husband & my girls

today
precious: E fell asleep in bouncy seat with bottle, I picked her up and started feeding her in her sleep, after a few ounces she was a sleeping angel, I sat her up to burp her and watched the serenity on her face, suddenly I heard a loud belch, followed by opening eyes, then a mouth smiling, she finished the bottle and kept smiling
costume: maternity dress with a beach ball underneath, sign on the tummy that says "8 more!" and on the chest that says "3 is a hazaka, 8 is enough", got LOTS of laughs
sweet: big H wore her footie PJs and clipped on a pacifier
fun: to go out and see friends and celebrate and get dressed up and be silly
tooth tally: add one for E!, H-2, E-2, N-0

today
Sunday March 8:
tricked ya, not!: baby N couldn't care less about Daylight Savings time, 6:00 am wake up (7:00 with clock change)
look at me: E pulled herself to standing in her crib, thankfully we had already lowered it
baby steps: when getting up this morning, my abs were strong enough that I just sat straight up from laying on my back!, no rolling to the side and pushing up with the arms, hope?
sharpening her teeth: on the crib, E is - her 1 tooth
standing in the crib: E is
climb & dive: E climbed into the bouncy seat and was perched to dive off the high end
new territory: E crawled all the way to our bedroom, she usually goes the other way, to the kitchen
new heights: E spent a good deal of time in the high chair, while I loaded the dishwasher with bottles and ate my lunch
play pen: after a nice nap, H & N sat together playing in H's crib
independence day: E fed herself an entire bottle!!!!!!!!!! in a bouncy seat, she held it, with a tiny bit of propping by a stuffed animal
remember that book: titled "Everyone Poops"? this afternoon we gave new meaning to "everyone poops", maybe our book should be called "Poop here, poop there, poop is really everywhere!"
math problem: N had one more bottle today than she usually does. Each of the bottles had the same volume as her daily bottles do (8.5-10 oz). How much can one baby guzzle in one day?
outcome, no problem: what happens when N eats an extra 9-10 oz? she is HAPPY! she was so content today and played so nicely tonight.

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:

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