MAZEL TOV! We closed on the house Friday at 3:00 pm. We are now home owners!!! I love this house and neighborhood and community and am sooooo happy! Zevi is a social butterfly...he is rarely home. His friends vary in ages from k'ton ton (5) to 5th graders (10). His favorite little girl in the neighborhood is Esther Malka, Esti. She is this tiny little ball of fire. Apparently, she used to want to marry someone in her class until a "new boy" moved in and now she wants to marry him. He got this cute little look on his face and said he knows who he wants to marry too. They play for HOURS together!

Since his accident, many of his friends have visited. His whole class made him refuah sh'leima cards (get well soon). They even brought him presents. He could not eat for many days since when he chewed, his cheek hurt. So he drank milkshakes and slurpees. Then Wednesday he requested Potato Leek Soup, his favorite. So we made it and he ate several bowls. By the next day he was much better and is up to eating again!!

The Goldmans are coming for Pesach and they sent Goldie early. What a champ! She has been on Zevi duty (He requests her for EVERYTHING. Get ready Avi, you're next!!), lots of KP (kitchen patrol) duty and unfortunately I ran out of time on Friday before the house closing and she had to clean our bathrooms. She wouldn't take any money, but I promised her a pedicure!

We had our first meal here on Shabbos afternoon. It was delightful to be in our own space.

Zevi had a busy Shabbos: a young girl from across the street offered to walk him to the shul we normally go to (the Agudah) and then bring him to the one we were going to for the bar mitzvah (Sha'arei Chesed). Ok, so he went to shul WITHOUT US. Goldie and I went to shul later and he met us there (Mordechai was already there). Then he left with Rafi, a neighbor and his family. We picked him up for lunch (they got a little break!). Zevi left straight after lunch and we only saw him for a few minutes in the afternoon before he went back to shul with a group of older boys. He has a rich and varied social life and we couldn't be happier!!!

We are very excited the Goldmans are arriving today Bezras Hashem. They left last night and are planning to arrive today sometime. Goldie and I are heading to the gym now. We have a heavy schedule for the day!
BTW, we went to Marshall's on Friday and I got the dress!!!!!
