On Sunday, August 2, the family gathered at our house for brunch and a (non)traditional naming ceremony for Baby James. Cantor Jan Morrison walked us through a simple, but beautiful service where we all participated in welcoming him to this world and each sharing our special wishes for his life.
After our brunch of lox and bagels, we buried the umbilical cord in the back yard. Some say, this will help him grow up strong...
Congratulations to the Decker Family!!! I just received the birth announcement in the mail today! He is absolutely adorable and definitely a Sweet Baby James. Thanks for sharing your blog-such a great idea. Looking forward to meeting James!
