Well, seeing as the circumcision/baby-naming isn't happening until this Thursday at the earliest, I won't be able to do that. Not yet, at least.

The circumcision went a-ok. We even got a great deal: Half-off! So we left a BIG tip!

OK, I am confused a little. Why 2 different names?
Here's the answer for you folks that were afraid to ask.
Congrats again to both of you....
Q: Why is it important to give my Jewish baby a Hebrew name in addition to an English name?
A: Certain religious rituals require Hebrew names. Hebrew names are used for calling people to the Torah. Certain prayers, such as the memorial prayer or the prayer for the sick, use the Hebrew name. Legal documents, such as the marriage contract or ketubah, also use the Hebrew name.
Orthodox Jews and Israelis often give their children a Hebrew name, and that name is used for both everyday and religious purposes.
Elsewhere it has become customary for Jewish parents to give their children two names - a secular name for use in the gentile world and a Hebrew name for religious purposes.
Some Facts about Riley's Hebrew Name.
Ariel is a name for Jerusalem. Ariel means "lion of God."
Moshe (Moses) was a prophet and the leader who brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt.

Man you must have. It was slow for me too but we had other work to do. Testing and developing. At least a fixed a script error.
Hey, it's been a while since I posted some pics, so here goes. In order, pic 1 is from when Riley was about 6-8 weeks old. Pic 2 was from our trip to Israel, so that was the beginning of July (about the 10th), so he is just under 4 months. Pic 3 is from about 5 weeks ago, so he would be 5 months old. Finally pic 4 is from last Sunday and was taken by my Uncle when we did a little photo shoot for a family portrait/holiday card. I have to say, he's a keeper.
