My grandfather’s funeral is today – and this is the eulogy I wrote for him. I’m so sad today… When I woke up this morning, my first thought was that my grandmother had something to do with making this such a pretty day, the sky was so blue and the sunshine so bright – it …

Or is it just me? I’m constantly questioning just about everything. Case in point – Jessica Mary. She’s seven and a half, going into second grade. Very bright, very thoughtful and growing more and more independent. She went to Maine earlier this summer with my mother and sister for three days without me, and I …

Not that she’s there yet – but she’s getting so big and so beautiful – and has already grown up so fast. I love this age – I know I say that about all ages, but four months is just super fun. She’s smiling all the time, loves nothing more than to be plopped down …

My last post, I think, was just before Marc took the girls on the annual Father/Daughter camping trip. My computer was attacked by an odd virus, and I couldn’t connect to the internet at all… and I’ve got so much to say 🙂 – The camping trip went great, from what I understand. This year, …

and ridiculously pleased about being able to post – I’ve got so much to write about! But it’s bedtime for my cherubs, Julie is sucking on my arm as I type – so it’ll have to wait until tomorrow…

Jessica is huge, all long legs, big eyes and pretty hair. Suddenly, I’ve got a little tweener on my hands, she’s obsessed with making sure that she showers daily, goes thru three or four different hairstyles and outfits a day and has recently redone her room so that it looks “grown up.” She’s even singing …

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfmoms/detail?entry_id=69173 I just read this fascinating blog post – and it really, really resonated with me. Jessie went up to Maine this summer with my sister, and had the most incredible time. Everyone up there kept telling me how happy she was, how independent and confident and self assured she was. She was roaming all …

It’s been a crazy couple of days lately, and I’m still trying to catch up with the housework. Marc’s great uncle passed away last week and we had the funeral and shiva calls over the weekend. Friday was the funeral, and that was the first Jewish funeral I had ever attended. While the funeral wasn’t …
