She pictured the holidays: Hanukkah latkes, Rosh Hashanah apples and honey. Her world was expanding. She couldn't help but smile.

She tapped her foot, humming a little tune as she packed a bag, ready to go and visit him. She couldn't wait to see how this would transform their family.

She knew this would be an amazing experience. This would bring so much to the family.
