Welcome Silas Carl John Meyer!

We are proud to annouce that Silas Carl John was born at 11:47 pm on Oct 18 weighing 7.5 lb and measuring 19.8 inches long!

Below is a bit of background on this little boy's three names:

Silas- was a man in the Bible who was a leader and a servant in the early church. Our prayer is that our Silas would be a man who walks closely with God loves others deeply from the heart.
 
One our favorite songs that also talks about the story of Paul and Silas in the Bible can be found here
 
More about Silas in the Bible can be found here 
 
Carl-is Emily’s Dad. Carl is known as Papa to our kids. We hope Silas can have Papa’s same love for his family, love of learning and sense of humor.
 
 
John- John was Joab’s Paternal Grandfather and in Hebrew means graced by God. Indeed what a gift to have a new baby son! What an amazing gift!

 
Below are some pictures of the family welcoming Silas

Over a year ago Asa began praying for a baby brother.
What a joy to see the first meeting of the Meyer Brothers!
