Asher
Hebrew; “happy, blessed”
eighth son of Jacob.
one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Kindred Spirits, 1849--Asher B. Durand

“All these were the children of Asher, heads of their father’s house, choice and mighty men of valour, chief of the princes...”
1 Chronicles 7: 40

And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren….
Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.”

Deuteronomy 33: 24, 25

Congratulations, Cheryl! (It's me, Kirsten...) We're so happy for you. Mitch was asking the other day if "the baby was out of your tummy yet". I'll be sure to fill him in. :)

It's Kirsten again... just had to say, Cheryl, that I can't spell Mediterranean either. That and -- this is gross so don't be freaked out -- diahrrea I can never remember how to spell. But anyway, totally give me a call when you're feeling up to it and we'll get together. The Boys'll be so excited to meet Asher.

If Asher means "8th son" and he is your third, what will you name your 8th?

“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”

thanks nicole.
