Happy 13th Birthday Dahlia!

Our sweet monkey-girl turns 13 today. I can hardly believe that the little 5lbs 15oz baby is grown into this beautiful grown woman. The thing about Dahlia is she is truly beautiful inside and out. Sure she has her moments (Think.... "All About Eve"!) but who doesn't. She'll do anything for anyone.

We went out for breakfast. We did our annual birthday pedicures (Someone in our family,who shall remain nameless, is turning one year older tomorrow) went out coffee with Bubby (Grandmother in Yiddish) Miriam and have many more birthday surprises for the day ahead.

I know this year has many exciting things ahead; Bat Mitzvah, officially becoming a teenager, graduation, etc. Dahlia I wish only good health, happiness and all that you are dreaming of for this coming year and always!

Love you Monkey-girl!

Rosh Hashana is here!

I can't believe it's that time of year. Rosh Hashana; the Jewish New Year begins tomorrow night. The smells of cooking and baking fills our house!

Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

שנה טובה ומתוקה!
