Mezuzah Hanging/Housewarming Party
Now that we're settled in the house, Ellen and I hosted our first large social gathering, with a combination mezuzah hanging/housewarming. We had about 40 guests, including a number of our friends' kids. Also in attendence were Ellen's parents Herb and Selma, who drove down from Yardley, as well as a number of our new neighbors.

| Lisa Dunn and baby Harper were among our guests. |

| Ellen printed up a handout for our guests to follow along with. |
