Drew was with Rachel at the library last weekend and a little girl asked if she could wear Rachel's purple necklace. "Nooo!" Rachel whimpered.
The little girl was dejected, and Drew gently suggested to Rachel that the little girl really wanted to try on the necklace and that she should share it.
"She's a mischievous girl," Rachel said seriously, "and I'm worried she won't give it back."
(The little girl had, in fact, been running up and down the bookshelf aisles. He reassured Rachel that he'd be on guard to make sure the little girl wouldn't take the necklace. And, in fact, she didn't. Rachel was very relieved when she got it back!)

Grandma and Grandpa are stopping through Portland this weekend and they're coming over for Shabbat dinner tonight. I would have loved to have Rachel help me make challah, since she is extravagant in her praise of it ("I LOVE your challah, Mommy!" she said fiercely the other day. "I LOVE IT.") But we didn't have time, so...I'm taking the day off work to make challah, roast chicken, roasted potatoes, a salad and chocolate silk pie for dessert. Hope it all comes out well and everyone is happy. Rachel has been anticipating this for weeks.
