The weather is getting progressively cooler and we are entering a new era. The legwarmer era. Officially the best baby clothing invention. Cute, inexpensive and no need to remove for diaper changes. What more could we ask for?

So big!
We had a pretty uneventful week last week. We did make it to the Corpus Christi Greek Festival on Saturday. We had some delicious food (spanakopita, pastitsio, dolmades) and Greek beer. This weekend is the Jewish food festival and we hope to go enjoy some cabbage rolls and matzah ball soup (yum!). We went last year and the food was delish.
Orli has been getting so much better at sitting on her own. She still crashes over unexpectedly, but it doesn’t seem to bother her.

Future softball player...
Orli has a baseball (although I call it a softball) rattle that she has started to really favor. Is this an indication that Orli is a future softball player…? It remains to be seen.
Bathtime continues to be a highlight of the day. Lately, Orli’s favorite bathtime trick has been to literally put the entire rubber ducky’s head in her mouth. It’s hilarious. Here’s a little sneak peek.
Someone rescue that duck!
I will be leaving next week for a conference on Monday-Wednesday. It will be my first time without Orli and I am completely distraught about it. Please send me lots of love and strong thoughts! I know it will be worse for me than it will be for her, but that doesn’t make me feel much better…
She’ll be fine, and so will you. The coolest part about being a mother is how the Lord knits all of you, Orli and Jeff for occiasions such as these. It’s amazing how much I have to leave and how the kids pick right up from where we left off. And, the time I am away is filled with things to do, so I don’t have to sit around missing them. However, words aren’t always the best comfort, so prayers will be lifted!
