Owen's Bris

With Owen's jaundice getting better (finally!), we are able to have Owen circumsized today. We had a Jewish bris. Sheldon Ciner, recommended to us by a work colleague of Marisa's, came out to Boulder to perform the ritual. Both sets of grandparents and Carol and Gene Klinger (new friends of the Zahlers) were present. Owen was fine until he was forced to lie on his back with his hands and legs held down by his grandfathers. This boy HATES to be tied down! Oy! Imagine what he'll be like at 15!!

His Hebrew name is Yakov ben Shalom (Sean's Hebrew name given to him by Natalia when she was 3 and we visited her in Brasil).
