Memorial Day Weekend!

Memorial Day Weekend is always a favorite in our house.  Maybe it's because the weather is  wonderful, the pools are open, or because Jacob and I got married over Memorial Day Weekend 11(!) years ago.  Regardless the reason, we had a wonderful weekend.  Shavuot Shabbat dinner with friends.  Wiz of Oz play at Glen Echo that AlteLu and I walked out of during the tornado.  Delicious vegetarian Chinese food, bbq's, friends, bike riding, swimming, and a visit from Aunt Mimi and Daniel--whew!  It was a busy wonderful weekend.
Now we are preparing for Hersh's siyum at Ohr Kodesh.  It is hard to believe that this is happening.  That our little boy, who it seems just started preschool, is now done.  He is sad, and having a hard time with the idea that he will not be returning to the Dvorim class.  He is worried about not seeing his friends anymore, specifically Frida, who seems to be Hersh's first "best friend." Ahh, transitions, scary and hard for all involved, yet exciting and a necessary part of life.  We just need to remember that HBB needs some extra love through this next bit.
