High Holidays 2013

This year, the High Holidays started very early!!! In fact, before labor day!! Its a very odd year, as we all know, but having the holidays so early was just strange! Anyway, we still made the best of it! Miranda joined me at synagogue for Erev Rosh Hashanah and she was GREAT during the service!! She came again for Breakfast for Yom Kippur. That was very exciting b/c she was able to go up onto the Bima with the other kids, hear the shofar blow and sing and clap on what she called "the stage"...lol :-) It was a pure mitzvah and blessing to see my baby girl up there! the rabbi introduced herself and it was just magical...I know that's corny, but trust me, it was magical... :-)


Erev Rosh Hashahah - I picked Miranda up from school and off to Aunt Monica and Uncle Artie's house for dinner before services. Miranda was sooo excited to wear her pretty dress and jewelry :-)

Playing Piano :-)

One of my favorite pictures. Miranda and I rght after services outside the temple. Miranda was BEYOND good tonight and it almost brought tears to my eyes. Very proud mommy moment :-)
