. . . we started Lemon Parsley potatoes in the crockpot for supper.
. . . talked to a few friends and heard about how God is moving in a situation we have been praying for!
. . . rocked Katya and cuddled her (many, many times today).
. . . Charity did some sewing.
. . . we put up the decorations on the New Year's Tree.
Katya loves hanging up her ornaments, and any others she can get permission to hang.
The 4 youngest are the ones who always help me do this, and we have a great time doing it together.
And the admiring commences.
It doesn't show in this photo, but dear friends of ours gave us two lovely hand-crafted Matroishkas--out of felts, I think, that are gracing our tree for the first time! It felt really neat to have their gift to put on!
May God have mercy on us in 2013, and I pray that I can serve Him with a passionate heart. Happy New Year to all my blog readers!

Hello! I have been following your blog for a while now and have a question about your young daughter's decision to cover her hair. I am an unmarried modern Orthodox Jewish woman and we cover our hair after marriage. I am not super well-versed in Halacha (Jewish law) but our thought process is that a woman's hair is so beautiful that it should be for her husband alone. What is the thought process behind having younger girls do so? Additionally, I also dress according to certain modesty laws -- called dressing tsnius. Skirts only and they need to cover the knee, collarbone and elbows covered. Is there a specific custom or law that you and your daughters follow? Or is it for modesty reasons? I hope you don't mind my asking -- I'm just curious!
