We love you, Asher!

And now we are five. God is good!

The following are in order of progression:

Auntie Helen battled Nurse M. for the fun job of newborn care.

Asher was bright-eyed soon after delivery.

Thanks for being there for us, Auntie!

Tirzah is most fascinated with "her" baby and always wants to see his toes.

(Warning: an increase of children may lead to hair loss :0)

Silas has a patent on his excited look.

Judah straining to smile!

We pray that Asher will fulfill his names by being a happy presence in our lives, experience blessings from God's hand, and boldly confess that "my God is the Lord".

The Key to our riddle is:

Asher

- means "Happy, Blessed"

- was a fertile land that produced much olive oil

Genesis 49:20 "Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties"

Judges 5:17 "Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches."

Ellis

- means "My God is the Lord"

- male form of "Alice"

- in honor and remembrance of his Great-Grandmother Alice Debel who went to be with her Lord on May 23rd, 2010

Congrats to uncle Steve for first guessing the name "Asher"!!

Baby's Name: Can you guess it?

"This olive plant around our table shall enjoy the blessing that his covenant God is the Lord of all ... the "I AM" who knows the number of sands at the sea shore and the hairs on his head ... his God, who cares for the sparrows, shall feed him with every good thing."

The Lord willing, our son will be born within the next couple days. The above is our prayer for him and a riddle for you to figure out his name. There is enough for you figure out his first and second name but also plenty to distract you. :o)

Please pray that the Creator of life will uphold mother and child.
