A Sweet New Year

Disney Countdown: 12 Days

Well, I survived 16 in-laws and my very first Rosh Hashanah that I hosted.  I think it went pretty well.  No complaints on the food - which is good because when my brother-in laws do not like your cooking, you know about it!    However, I will admit my matzos balls were a matzos mess.  I didn't realize that they expand so much well you put them in the pot of water!  So a bunch of them just disintegrated.  But all in all, not a bad job for a Catholic, Italian girl!  Special thanks to The Food Yenta - a fantastic website that provided me with most of my recipes.   http://thefoodyenta.com/wp/

The weather held out and we were able to eat outside on the patio.  No pictures though - I was too busy to even snap one. 

I was thrilled that my sister in-law, Jen,  almost broke out in tears when she saw Hope.  She hasn't seen her since April and she commented that she was like a different child.  That is HUGE to me.  I know this past year has been so successful for Hope, but I am with her everyday so I don't see changes the way others can who do not see her for a long time.  I know when I am having a bad day - you know, those kind of days when you, as a homeschooler and mom doubt yourself or wonder are you doing the right thing?  I can think back to her face and know that I am on the right path.

My niece and nephew are both starting Kindergarten on Monday.  My nephew is 4 turning 5 in November - one month older than Hope.  While my niece is 5 turning 6 in January.  He will be the youngest in his class while she will be the oldest.   I am curious to follow their "building" school journey alongside of Hope's homeschooling journey.
