Baby Bird #4 arrives!

Tsion Christopher was born Saturday, August 5, at 6:00 am weighing 8 lbs and measuring 21 in. long two weeks before his due date. We were praying for 8 lbs because his big brother, S, was 9 lbs 7 oz and we did not want to repeat that! Mom and baby are doing great, and the siblings are thrilled to have a new little one in the home.

As to his name, Tsion (pronounced Zion - we preferred the transliterated Hebrew spelling) means "raised up" and Christopher means "Christ bearer", so to us his name means "raised up with Christ" which is from Ephesians 2:6 (the meaning of all of our kids can be found in Ephesians 2, so we kept with "tradition"!).
