Shabbat Shalom

So our dining room is finally complete - new floor and painted walls and even unpacked china. Challah delivery began at Katie's school and we decided to use these 2 events to have our first Shabbat dinner in our new home - and eat in the dining room for the first time. Nana and Papa were our special guests and we had a wonderful meal. Katie has become quite fond of the Hamotzi she says before snack and lunch at school and says it all the time - often complete with an interpretive dance. She concludes Hamotzi with "b'tei avon" which means "bon appetit" in Hebrew. It's pretty adorable.

Our first Shabbat table

The color of the dining room, by the way, is kind of a light blue with a hint of gray - called "Glacier." Ready for all input for the rest of the rooms in the house. Have I mentioned that our entire house is painted the same beige. I'm at the paint store so often that they asked me if I wanted to open an account...
