Sukkot

Lisa, Scott, Ari and Asher built a wonderful deck Sukka and we "dwelled" in it ;) Or is it dwelt?

Fresh Tomatos

Thank you Michelle for enabling me to make this soup from the seemingly hundreds of tomatoes in our garden. Also, thanks to my mom for handing over the kitchen aid which I have wanted for 6 years - just to make fresh focaccia (again, thanks to Michelle for the recipe!) super easy and so yum!

That's the money shot



We have about 6 kinds of tomatos in the garden - many of which were volunteers from last year's fallen. The little orange ones are the super sweet and made the best soup flavor!

Post Roasting - there is a little fennel and some herbs in there too.



Pre-war food mill. Another thing sluffed off my parents in the move

Yum! Spanish Blue Cheese crumbles...perfect

First Day of School

It rained on the first day of school as it had done most of the summer. In fact, there is a rumor going around that we only had 19 days of full sun this summer - ouch! The first day of school was scary and exciting - such is life.....and drama.

Wedding

Christie and Randy's wedding was lovely.

My Mom MADE this flower girl dress for Sylvie to wear in the ceremony. Sylvie was great until she saw that everyone was looking at her and then she started to back up into Christie's dress and had to be pushed down the aisle with her head down - shy. She bragged about it though and she wears the little sparkly flower girl tee shirt that christie gave her and says "I was shy"

With Cousins Eli and Ethan

That's me dragging her down the ailse

Check out groom expression vs. already married with kids' expressions.
