Temple Beth Abraham - New Member BBQ

We had such a great time tonight at the New Member BBQ. We just joined Temple Beth Abraham over the summer in order to enroll the boys in Hebrew School. It's hard to believe, but it is only about 4 years until Benjamin's Bar Mitzvah! Yikes! I am reflecting on what a very small world it is. We saw many people we know and we met many new people. Turns out some distant cousins of ours, the Davis Family, joined last year AND their older daughter is going to be in Joshua's public school classroom as well as his Sunday Hebrew school...And, there is a Kessel family there, which is my father's twin sister's husband's last name, and they are somehow related. Also, saw someone from our neighborhood who I had met a few years ago when they only had one child; now they have two. And, saw a woman whose sons went to Cole-Harrington Preschool and School Enrichment Program with our boys, one of whom will be in the same Hebrew class as Benjamin. We met Ben's teacher, Mrs. Langmead, who seems very nice, and in talking with her, it turns out that she knows quite well one of our neighbors on the street from growing up in the area. Jon always makes fun of me for knowing so many people whenever we go anywhere. It's just how I am. I grew up in this area and I pay attention to who people are. He, on the other hand, grew up in Framingham, and kept to himself mostly, reading books while walking down the school corridor! Anyhow, here are some photos...Enjoy!
