Update on life and such

I obviously never blog but for those of you wondering what the heck is going on with me I will post a bit of an update. Excuse the fact that most of the pictures are crappy phone pictures, and excuse how ridiculously long this post is. Maybe I will post more? No promises!

In October my dad had a dental convention in Washington DC and my mom and I wanted to tag along. So we charged the iPad up and braved the plane ride out there. Jj did so good. He is such a good kid. While Daddy and his associate Steve learned all about biological treatments for teeth, we went to all the museums and to the zoo. Jj was so excited to see the pandas and still talks about them.

We were there on my birthday so my mom got a hold of a cake and we had a party in the hotel room. The rest of the night was spent watching movies on tv and laughing at the giant baby we spend all our time with.

The last day there the guys decided they were sick of teeth and came with us to the FDR monument.

We also dropped by Arlington so I could get some pictures for Chad and his sister of a friend of theirs who was killed in Afghanistan in August. Seeing the rows and rows of fresh graves is heartbreaking. The sacrifice that Ricky Berry and his fellow soldiers make is huge and it is important to never forget about that.

Overall, I had a blast in DC and loved the time I had with my parents. I haven't had that in a while!

     

Thanksgiving is always a hit in the Margolis house. My mom is trying to teach me how to be a good housewife. I mostly just like the apron.

Jj tasted heaven for the first time.

We celebrated Hannakah. Jj was so excited about it every night. He would ask all day if he could light the candles and after we said the prayer for the lighting of the candles (which is sung) he would clap and say "Hannakah!" The purity of the Jewish religion is truly beautiful and seeing it shine through a child is so heartwarming.

Someone decided not to stop at a red light and broke my car :(

Jj's favorite food is sushi. Isn't that adorable? It is also Chad's, so we are there a lot.

My dad and his mini me. Horrible picture but I couldn't leave it out!

I got a job at Well's Fargo, so after a year of being Jj's nanny, we had to find a school for him to be in for extended hours while I got a real job. The week before he started at his new school and two weeks before I stared my job, I made sure our week was jam packed with fun.

 

We went to the zoo (twice).

Jj drove his new car. He just needs to ask his uncle, Sam, about Arizona's zero tolerance laws when it come to drinking and driving! Silly boys.

Now I am working all day and going to school all night. I miss my baby boy like crazy, but when I do see him he gives me the biggest smile and will cuddle up to me until someone forces him out of my arms. The two of us have such a strong bond. I just pray he doesn't grow out of it.
