Ski Day Fun

Love getting all bundled up. Takes about 45 minutes to get ALL our stuff on and situated. Then someone usually has to go pee....(sigh) :-)
This is the Mama and the Baby on the lift way up high......I am a little afraid of high places, but Francesca was so brave and actually enjoyed it so I pretended to also..... :-)

My sweet baby Francesca. All big and 7 and stuff. She did so good. This was her first time ever on skis. No lesson. No harness. No poles. No problem !!


Marny is so graceful. She told me that she didn't fall down once all day. What an accomplishment !!



I brought PB & J sandwiches for lunch and some chips and cookies, but Dominic REALLY liked it when his friend handed him a Little Debbie Nutty Bar. I think he's happy....Thank you Brian Berger :-)




Oh The Remodeling

The wall behind the fridge has been on the list of things to do for about 5 years now. Well, the whole kitchen for that matter!
Never far away from the people is the dog. Tootsie is so great. LOVE having her around. She loves her people !! We wuv you Tootie-toot !!

Working at the hospital has taught him to be real neat and clean. I guess that's a plus !!


Just Read

If only there were more hours in the day...TO READ. If only we could get stuck in the library just once...TO READ. Mom knows what our favorite thing to do is...READ. I'm raising bookworms, a bunch of bookworms! This picture was not staged, I caught them !!!

Baruch Atah Adonai

The Hebrew blessing over the new wine is repeated by all. "Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p'ri ha-gafen." Translated : Praised are You, God, Ruler of creation, who creates the fruit of the vine. Glasses are "clinked" each with all the others, and Shabbat (Sabbath) is welcomed in !!! Yay !!









Candles always make the ambience more holy, and a special "treat" is served, either store-bought or homemade(even more special!) Happy Sabbath to all...even if you're not Adventist or Jewish, it's STILL the Sabbath :-) Shalom !!!
