We had Leo's Bris on Sunday 8-12-12. We were thankful to have so many friends and family to share the special day with us. The day before, Shae prepared by making challah:

It was a lovely ceremony with traditional blessings as well as his naming. We chose the hebrew name Aryeh Mordecai. Aryeh is hebrew for "Lion" which symbolizes strength and courage. Mordecai is after my maternal great grandfather. He was a very hard worker and family man who moved to the USA with his family to provide them with a better life.
Dr. Goodman incorporated Teddy into the ceremony as he took the first bite of the challah:
