Rowan Beatrice Hamner






We would like to thank all our friends for their prayers and thoughts over the last few days. We are quite excited to share our new baby girl with you all. Rowan Bea Hamner was born July 31st at 8:35am. Little Rowan weighed 6.11, and 50cm long (tall).

ROWAN-In modern English, Rowan is used as both a feminine and masculine name. The feminine name probably derives from the name of the tree: It has been fashionable at several times in recent centuries to name girls after plants

BEATRICE-(pronounced bee'-a-tris or in Italian bay'-a-tree-chay) is a name derived from the Latin name Beatrix. This occurred in medieval Italy. Beatrice means she who blesses.

HAMNER-Sir name originating in Wales, originally Hanmer. Also known at times by Haminator, Wickershamnner, Hammy, Hamnerito, or Hamnarion.

I'm happy for your whole family! I wish she had taken my advice and arrived "sometime between now and a week from Wednesday," but given her weight it was probably all for the best. I'm happy to finally get the news!

Much love and prayers coming from Kenya!
