Talia's naming

Last weekend we gathered with friends and family to celebrate as Talia received her Hebrew name, Alma.  She is named after Mimi's grandmother, Frieda Chapnick, who was a beloved figure in Mimi's life.  (Frieda means lady in German, and Alma means young woman in Hebrew.)  We were particularly touched that a number of people made the trip from out of town, including Liz (without Andrew and David, who was battling his first ear infection), Larry, Becky and Aunt Inie, and Aunt Michele all the way from Chicago.  Pictures of the festivities are here.  We are so blessed to have Talia in our lives and are thankful every day for our sweet girl.
