Oct 7: Happy Thanksgiving (if you are from Canada)!

Oops!  I forgot to post this entry last week!  I did think about posting it every day, if that counts!

Erik goes to a Jewish daycare and we have learned that there are a lot of Jewish holidays in the months of September and October.  The daycare has been closed for at least 2 days for the past four weeks.  It would be great if Kent or I could just take time off work to spend with Erik, but unfortunately, these holidays are happening during budget season as well as during the month-end close for the 3rd quarter (aka very, very busy time at work for accountants).  For those of you that are wondering what holidays there are in September & October, I've got just the list for you!

Sept 17-18: Rosh Hashanah (New Year)
Sept 25-26: Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement)
Oct 1-2: Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles)
Oct 8-9: Shemini Atzeret & Simchat Torah (Assembly of the 8th Day and Rejoicing in the Torah) - these are technically not part of Sukkot, even though they occur right afterwards)

We ended the week by celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving with all our Canadian friends that we met here in Florida!!  Even though Kent and I are not Canadian, our friends have made us honorary citizens and let us partake in their delicious celebration.  So, Happy Thanksgiving, eh!

The adult table - I couldn't get a wider angle on my camera!

When I downloaded pictures today from my camera, I found some old pictures from early September when Kalvin was here visiting (and when Erik, Kent & I all got the dreaded flu).  Thought I would share some of the pics of Kalvin & Erik!
