Welcome Orah!

We started off this most holy of days with a Kosher feast of pulled pork and baked (bacon) beans! I was really embarrassed when I had to explain that to the Rabbi- who was very gracious I might add :)

The week following Elizabeth's first birthday we held her Hebrew naming ceremony! We chose the name Orah for her first name. Arthur's mothers name is Polina- there is not a Hebrew equivalent to it, so we researched the Hebrew name book and found that Polina is from Lena which is from Eleanor (my grandmother on my father’s side). Orah is a Hebrew equivalent of Eleanor. Her middle name is T'shurah which is from Dolly- which is from Dorothy (my grandmother on my mother’s side). We had a beautiful ceremony and we were surrounded by many of our closest relatives and friends. Thank you to every one who could make it. We are fortunate to have you in our lives! We hope that you had fun!!!

p.s. notice the shoes.....

p.s.s. Alynn do you have any pictures of you and your mom from the ceremony????
