Ethan's Birthday - The Slide!

 

Isabelle's Hebrew Name/Great Weekend

I haven't had much time to post lately but I wanted everyone to know Isabelle's Hebrew name:
Elisheva Dina - Elisheva means 'God's Promise' and Dina is from the Parsha just before Isabelle was born and also a derivative of Deanna.
Lots more to say...will post soon!

We had a beautiful weekend. Both the naming and Ethan's Birthday were really great. We had lots of family in town (Both of our Mom's, Ira's brother's Mike and Marc and their families and my brother Eric and his family, and the Pollina's). It was really special to have everyone in town for these events.

The Rabbi did a great job including everyone in the ceremony and making us feel very special. We also sponsored the Kiddush.

Ethan's party was a blast and I even got a thumbs up from my sister-in-law Susan for throwing such a great kids party (my first one!) I highly recommend a water slide for hours of enjoyment for the kids and the adults...check out the picture of Ira :)

6 Months Old!

Wow...I can't believe Isabelle is 6 months old already. How time flies!!!
This weekend we are having her baby naming. We have lots of family coming to town and are very excited about seeing everyone. We will also be celebrating Ethan's 6th birthday (in a big way). This is the first time he will be here in Florida on his actual birthday. I'm sure I will have lots of pictures to share next week :)

I don't know if I told everyone but Isabelle was called to participate in a photo shoot for the cover of Conceive Magazine. I thought that meant she was going to be on the cover but she is one of many adorable babies that were there. We will find out next month if she will be on the cover. You can view the pictures at:

The founder of the magazine moderated a panel that we had at the Gala/Health Fair that I organized. She met Isabelle at the end of the panel (where myself and a few other women talked about their fertility journeys) and was dazzled by Isabelle's smile. She said Isabelle should be on the cover and I figured she was just saying that. Anyway...it was a fun day and we got lots of very cute pictures that we can order for ourselves...check it out!
