Ellis Abraham

Our family has a new arrival...our third boy...

Ellis Abraham
9 lbs 7 oz
21.5 inches long


Ellis is the Anglicized version of the Greek name Elias.  Elias is the Hellenic version of the Hebrew Elijah.

Elijah means "My God is the Lord," thus Ellis does too.

Abraham is Hebrew and means "Father of a multitude."

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children of one's youth.
Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!

- Psalm 127
