I was raised Catholic and my husband is Jewish so we try to make an effort to make sure that we expose our son to both traditions. Dustin and his dad were in China this year over Hanukkah and rather than missing lighting the candles and saying the prayer (I know Hebrew like he knows the rosary), we used Skype to bridge the planet and light the candles together.

I can tell from this picture than Dustin is looking up trying to remember all of the Hebrew properly.

There are times when I take technology for granted and then there are times when I’m awestruck at how far we’ve come in such a short period of time. It really wasn’t that long ago that I was playing with the card punch machines at my dad’s work. Crazy.
