She's Back!

She's back! I am happy to say that we have our Sadie back:) I constantly remind myself through these 'off' times that it's just a phase. But sometimes, it feels like it will never end. But after the toughest day of her cold, she slept like a champ (only waking once and putting herself back to sleep) and I had to wake HER up after 8:30 to get Skyler to school. And she was sooooooooo much happier today. Normal amount of whining. Lots of smiles. In fact, on the way to school she waved and said hi to every car that passed. Total improvement from screaming for 1/2 the ride or passing out. I caught some pics of my happy girl...excuse the drool...her nose was stuffy so she was breathing through her mouth...add that to teething, and it's very very wet:)

Caught some pics of the kids playing, which I LOVE watching. And it was Friday, so we had our version of Shabbat. Skyler said the blessings for the candles in his handmade shabbat candlestick holders and then he said the blessing for the challah that he made in school. It was impressive how many words he remembered! So nice to have an easy day...it's not taken for granted anymore:)

FINALLY cleaned out the junk trunk...now it's officially back to a toy box:) Scary what I found in there....

I had to include this one because I can't quite figure out what she was doing.

These eyes.....amazingly beautiful

Shabbat candles and Skyler's candlestick holders.

What's left of his challah:)
