Hearing Eitan Katz
This morning I took the girls to hear Eitan Katz in concert. The concert was a benefit concert for all the day schools in Seattle, including the Seattle Jewish Community School. The music was amazing and it was incredible to see all the kids together enjoying it. Here is a link to his website so you can get a taste of his music www.eitankatz.com .

Our Mid-Winter Staycation Begins
In anticipation of the kids' mid-winter break, we had decided to take advantage of this week together to do some fun things. This is an important week. Ron is finishing the work on our house and beginning next week, I will kick into the high gear of Bat Mitzvah planning... So, with little talk of the Bat Mitzvah this week, we are having a little fun!
Day 1: Friday morning, before the kids left for school, I told them that we would be having a special Shabbat party that night (just for the 5 of us). We had been working REALLY hard, all of us, we deserved the special treatment, right? I cooked a special Shabbat dinner (spent most of the day in the kitchen), challah, salad, roasted root vegetables, chicken with lemon and thyme, green beans and a cake for dessert. As soon as we sat down to eat, I realized that I was exhausted, I was pure and simply worn out from the week. By 9:00 pm I was asleep, the rest of the family was not far behind. Saturday was restful, again, we needed it!
Day 2: By Sunday morning, we were all rested ready to go! I had a wonderful Mom's morning out while the girls hung out with Ron, then in the afternoon I took the girls to see The Princess and The Frog. We all loved it, especially Ayelet who loves princesses and loves frogs.
Day 3: Monday promised to be a busy day. We went on an urban geocache with friends, ended up making it a double, found the first, but not the second. It was a beautiful morning on the Seattle waterfront, with great company! Here are some shots of the find!
And, as we were down town, we were treated to some other neat sights - check out the airplane making its way to Boeing on the tracks.
Day 4: Tuesday was a work day for me, each of the girls had their own adventures, then in the evening, the girls and I went out to dinner. After Ayelet ate her dinner, they brought out her dessert, a giant ice cream, she could hardly believe it. She almost didn't know what to do with it...
...then she spotted the spoon.
What's on tap for the rest of the week? Stay tuned...

Talya's Sweet Words
It was a rough day at our house today, in particular for Michaela. Talya felt so sorry for her sister that she wrote this note and drew the picture for her. I love her guess-and-go spelling, but more importantly, I love her expression of love for her sister.
