Friends

Last Friday our friends from L.A. came for a visit in San Fran. We had them over for Shabat dinner (Friday night), and we also celebrated Lag Ba'omer, which is a Jewish holiday in which you make fire, sit around it, eat, sing and have lotsa fun! And we did!

I'm so happy and grateful to have such great friends, who are considered as family.

Lia and Idan - Best fwends!

This guy's name is striper. We saw him sitting on his weird owner's lap around fisherman's wharf and the girls were in love... My favorite quote of the day came from Lia asking the weird guy who had striper: "... and he's not a toy even..??"

Then, of course we had to do the finale at the Marin Headlands. The money shot as Mikey calls it :)
That was a wonderful weekend!
We miss you guys already!

Maya is 3!

My baby Maya, turned three today! It may sound strange, but she is looking bigger, acting bigger, more understanding and even more amazing than ever today.

Three years ago, we were living in MA. I woke up in the morning on 5.5.05, and started feeling contractions at 7:30am. At about 10am we were already at the hospital, and by 4:20ishpm Maya Ofri Waite was born :)

This is our "before" photo.

Mmmmmwah!

Sisters. 3 years ago.

And today. Sisters.

Today we went to our Dr. Maria for Maya's 3 year physical. Some way of celebrating ;)
This is her REAL pig, Basil.

And this is the real reason it really was a celebration (even though a shot was included in the visit, and I must say Maya was so brave - didn't make a sound!) - Roxy the cute dog. Maya has been obsessed with dogs for a while now. It was the hardest thing to actually leave the Dr.'s office...

Maya is so sweet and gentle and cuddly. She is loving and sensitive and musical and goofy.
Maya is one of my two most beautiful precious most amazing daughters I have and love oh so much! Life is good! Happy birthday my baby-big girl Maya papaya!
