Six (Plus) Candles Flaming



On the sixth day of spica, my true love gave to me:
Six (plus two) candles flaming...

Tonight was the end of a special eight nights for our family.  In very simplistic terms, a central story to this time focuses on a miracle and taking pride in being different than those around you.  I cannot think of a better lesson for Hip Chick.  She has certainly been "different" than most around her this year and, well, she may always be to an extent.  I hope she can grow to be proud of what separates herself from others.  We have learned quite a bit this year about how uniquely a child can experience their world due to compromised mobility.  Many look at this as a hinderance- but perhaps it is a gift.  We do not have to be part of the "majority" to appreciate what G-d has given us.

And so...


MOMMY HAD A DRIIIINK!!


Four bird calls...


Three French horns...


Two turtle hugs...


And a babysitter, parents' night free!
