Zoom Friday: A Letter to My Little Boy
•
Dear Little Zoom, Sunday will be our first mother’s day together. While it’s traditionally a day to celebrate your mom, I feel like it’s also a day to celebrate you. I want to thank you for picking me to be your mother, for initiating me into this beautiful role. I…

Zoom Friday: Zoom Goes on Vacation to Dillon Beach
•
This week we took Zoom to the beach for vacation. We tried out a new spot, Dillon Beach. We left on Easter after a lovely brunch with our family, and arrived at the rental house (found on VRBO) before sun down. We had lovely view of the beach and the…

Zoom Friday: Lots of Laughs
•
This week, Zoom discovered a couple of important things. He learned to wave, and he learned to shake his head in the “no” direction. The waving thing happened last weekend, almost like something clicked for him and he realized what it meant when we were flopping our arms around and…

Happy Purim: Hope from the Next Generation

Zoom attends a Jewish day care, and today was the Purim celebration. Purim is a Jewish holiday celebrating the deliverance of the Jewish people from the evil grips of King Haman (boooo!) under the leadership of Queen Ester and King Mordechai. In modern times, it’s celebrated with lots of costumes,…

When The World Gets In Your Way
•
Today was a wonderful day spent with Zoom. I get Saturdays with him all by myself, since his dad has an unusual schedule. It’s neat for Zoom because he gets a special day on Thursdays with Dad, and then another day alone with just Mom on Saturday. Sunday is our…
