Introducing ... Grant Alfred!!

I'm only 4 weeks late in posting this, but we'd like to introduce our 2nd born son ...

Grant Alfred Myers
born Thursday, December 29, 2011
at 1:06 a.m.
weighing 7 lbs, 7 oz and 19 3/4" long



We chose the name Grant because it means "great" and Alfred was my maternal grandfather's given name. Alfred means "wise counselor" and we pray that our little boy will be just that - a great and wise counselor. I loved my grandpa immensely and he played a huge role in my life as a young girl. I would LOVE for him to meet my children and am so honored to give my little boy his name. He hated his name, but I know he would be touched and humbled to have his 4th great-grandson bear his name. If Grant is anything like him, he'll be a wonderful little boy and man.

I love the care with which you guys choose your names! We're so happy for you! Can't believe he's almost a month old!

I am sure Grandpa Spiehler is truly
honored even though he did not like
his name. He would be so thrilled
to see all the little ones. What
a gift.....G Ma S
