Well friends, 09/09/09 is in the history books and what a day it was in our lives. This morning the three of us woke up bright and early and all of us had important work to do today. Carrie was starting her year at the JCC as the Judaics Specialist, I had to work (lots of work) and Ayelet had her first day in the infants room at the JCC. We walked over there and it felt strange and nice and sad and difficult and easy. When we arrived all of the teachers in the room smiled at us and said hello to Ayelet by name. This made us feel so welcomed and reassured. We gave them the rundown on Ayelet’s morning so far and then we dropped off all of her materials for the day. We sat on the floor with her as she began to play with the other kids and then before we knew it, we kissed her goodbye and Carrie and I each went to work. As I walked home the excitement was gone, and the sadness was on overload because, well I do not know why.
Anyways, she had an excellent day, in spite of her Abba dropping in when she was trying to nap and kind of disrupting it. But I am having a hard time. It is tough work to be a rabbi or to have any career for that matter. But right now with the holidays coming so soon, I am running behind deadlines right and left and I am feeling swamped. I just want to write excellent sermons that will enrich every single person’s life and will never be forgotten… Is that so tough… Its impossible and so I need to relax the expectations a bit. I will write more about my own life soon. Anyways, I am sure everybody would love more pictures of Ayelet, so here goes nothing…
That is all for now, as it is late and I have to get back to sermon writing in the morning…

It does get easier - I promise!! And it's great that she's somewhere you're comfortable, and know she's going to get lots of smiles, hugs, and love!
It was exciting seeing Ayelet at her class.
