Awesome:
-finding beauty and meaning in a holiday I didn't know existed a year ago
-knowing that I have, at minimum, 7 weeks to go before this baby can safely be born
-and knowing that at maximum, it'll only be 12 weeks
-(eek)
-the sting of certain familial disappointments (long-term and ongoing) tempered by the unexpected safety net of really good friends and other family, by blood or by marriage
-feeling healthy and (relatively) energetic at 30 weeks pregnant
-not minding that I can't do but five minutes of the Pilates in Pregnancy DVD, because I can knock Pregnancy Yoga out of the park
-a preschool where problems are dealt with lovingly (on both sides), and where if my hulking three-year-old needs to be carried around and babied for a few days, there are teachers happy to oblige
-Phillies in the World Series! Not that I even follow baseball. But ever since my niece was born the night the Red Sox won the series (and two weeks before Sophia was conceived), I've checked in. This year it's the home team, so you know I'll have it on in the background as I knit. Also, it won't be safe to leave the house
-finding Sophia spontaneously putting away her puzzles today
-6:56 p.m.: SHE IS ASLEEP!

Awesome: Reading such happiness in your writing. It's nice to know the universe giveth sometimes as well as taketh away.

I love Sukkot. We've been putting up a Sukkah for 6 years - the first three we tried to build our own - the last half we put up our premade Sukkah.
Have you tried Simchat Torah? My first celebration of that one - and it was fun!

Glad you experienced Sukkos. As a pilgrimage festival, it is much more important than Chanukah! Such a nice holiday, and an essential component of the whole season; observing the Yamim Noraim and then ignoring what immediately follows doesn't make sense to me.
You list of awesome experiences is lovely. May you have only good things in the new year.
Go Phillies!
