The Lehman Brothers
Thanksgiving Day 2002

What
a year this has been, we have so much to be thankful for. Ari is
celebrating his 6 month birthday today on Thanksgiving, cute as a
button, and Jacob is now 2½ years old and is absolutely amazing! Ari
smiles all the time. This is one happy baby! The first thing
that most people notice about Ari is his dark complexion, we're not sure
where that came from, but other than that, he is all Lehman.

The
one thing that everyone keeps asking about is how well does Jacob treat
Ari. Let me tell you, Jacob loves his little brother! From
the beginning, we taught Jacob to give Ari little kisses, which he loves
to do, and he has been a very good big brother to Ari. Jacob gets
plenty of attention, how can we resist, and that has made the transition
to a "two child family" much easier. For the
most part Ari is sleeping through the night and eating well, he is a bit
short for his age, but he is growing well and is not short on being
adorable!

Jacob
is going to Aleph Bet pre-school at Chabad in Richmond, and so far is
really excelling at school. His teacher Morah Judy told me that
"Jacob will be a force of good in this world." What a
great statement, I can barely remember the rest of the meeting! He
is speaking in full sentences, for example "Mommy, it's cold
outside" or "I dropped my milk" or "I don't want to
go to bed." He may not always tell us what we want to hear, but the
intelligence behind the statements more than makes up for the chore of
cleaning the milk off of the floor! The house is busy:
the hustle and bustle of baths, the pitter-patter of little feet, the
cries for food, the coos for affection, the little kisses, the spilled
milk, the first words, the naptime complaints, the new sentences (spoken
for the first time), the squash and beans in your eye, the stinky
diapers, the throw up on your sheets, and the these words "I Love
You Mommy and "I Love You Daddy" make it all
worthwhile. Thank you G-d for all of these
blessings today and always.
