Since we moved into our new house (okay, since we started squatting there), our family wanted to start celebrating our Judaism in different ways. The first step is Shabbos (or Shabbat). Our family received a dinner invitation for tonight, and we get to walk there!!! The house is two streets away (give or take) and D is so excited that it is so close. We are also participating in a Shabbaton this weekend at the DATA (Dallas Area Torah Association) center. This is about half a mile from the house. As we start to unpack our boxes (we are making progress), we are setting up a hand washing station at the wet bar.
We also decided that we wanted to build a Sukkah this year. Since we live so close to family and friends, this is a great way to make every day of Sukkot special. I ordered the Sukkah kit, luluv and etrog this week, and they will be here in time to set them up for Sukkot. I know that D and Little L will love eating outside in the sukkah and will enjoy decorating it with us. What great memories we hope to make with our family and friends.
