An Evening with Jack


We have had the most amazing stretch of weather this week.  It has completely felt like summer with temperatures pushing 20 degrees!  It has been such a welcome change in weather.  We pulled out our patio table and chairs this evening and have been sleeping with the window wide open in our bedroom for nights on end.  Feels like July, not May!  Loving it!

Paul picked me my first lilac bouquet of the season today.  They are a week or two early this year!  I can't get enough of that amazing fragrance.  The bouquet literally fills my entire kitchen with it's scent.  Fantastic!


Tonight Sydney's buddy Jack came over for dinner and a playdate while his parents went out for a date night of their own.

The kids decided to dine al fresco in the beautiful evening sun!


We fired up the bouncy castle and let them loose....this could go down in history as the best toy I have ever bought, the kids are enjoying it so so much!


Syd has been enjoying the loot that the firemen gave her yesterday at the field trip to the fire hall.


Today at school Sydney's class led Shabbat.  Each of the children had a special song that they sang for the crowd.  It was so precious to see them actually take the mike and sing all by themselves.  We have come a long way from the days where most of them didn't even want to get up and share anything!



I love sharing this special time with the children and it's so meaningful to Sydney that I'm there too.  Last night she woke up briefly in the middle of the night, rolled over and said: "Mom, can you join me for Shabbat tomorrow?"  It was clearly on her mind and heart that I be there.

The weekend is shaping up to be a record breaker weather wise.  We are looking forward to lots of time outdoors and soaking up the sun!
