Do you have a portrait of your whole family together, my mum died last year and

18 mnths before she organised us all to go home and have a family portrait done

( I have 2 sisters & a brother all married + children) Its lovely to look at

that now and see her proud and in the midst of her creation.

Well worth the hassle to organise it.

We had something similar done on the occasion of Yeshaya's Barmitzvah;

but that was three years ago and I have had three more grandchildren

since then...

http://www.ruthiepearlman.com/pictures/wholefam.jpg

I'm seated, as is DH, he is looking very wild and woolly on the

Barmitzvah photos as it was within the first 30 days after his Dad

died and he wasn't allowed to shave or cut his hair..he doesn't

*usually* look so much like father xmas! A very young Yeshaya is at

the back row, centre, between to blonde unmarried Tavya on the right,

and redheaded Zehava on the left. the older lady standing behind me

and DH is my MIL.

http://www.ruthiepearlman.com/pictures/ruthfam.jpg is a pic taken at

the same time but just of our own children, ie no in laws or

grandchildren. But as I say, it's 3 yrs old, maybe it is time to get

another!

Actually there were some photos taken on my first grandson's

Barmitzvah, but I don't think a whole family portrait. I must get

copies...I haven't even seen them yet.

Liz it is one of the things that we are talking about organizing for my mil and

fil as their present for their gold anniversary (April) they are saying we don't

want any presents but I know that they would adore a picture of their 3

surviving children and a picture of their by then 7 grand children together.. so

we are going to try to get it done.. (difficult though as my bil lives in

Norfolk we are in surrey and my sil in Kent and we need to make sure that mil

and fil doesn't get wind of the idea (oh and oldest nephew is in the army.....)

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.

Lovely picture, Ruthie! I think Tammy is particularly pretty! Are all

their wigs European hair? (out of interest as a doll restorer once wanted

to buy mine...)

Yes, they are all wearing " customs " (hand made European hair wigs).

Tavya's was part of her trousseau, Sara and Tammy bought their own as

" customs " weren't so available when they got married as later, and I

did help out Avigayil to buy hers as she isn't as well off as her

sisters.

I understand from the wigmakers that most of the European hair they

buy comes from Eastern Europe, eg Russia. Russian girls have

wonderful blonde hair apparently. The thing is with customs, the hair

is *naturally* the right colour, not dyed, and if it's a curly wig, it

is *naturally* curly hair. That's what makes them so expensive. I do

know of one girl (Avigayil's SIL as it happens) who grew her own hair

past her waist and had it cut off and made into a wig when she got

married. Not TOO sure how " kosher " that is, but there you go!
