Introducing…

Cooper Immanuel Patterson

Cooper Immanuel is named after his very special late Nana, Betty Immel.  When my mom unexpectedly passed away Dec. 23, 2011, we knew we wanted to name Cooper after her.  “Immanuel” is the closest we could get to “Immel”, plus it means, “God with us”.

-and-

Conner Christian Patterson

Conner Christian is named after his beloved late sister, Chrissie (Christyn).  “Christian” is the masculine form of “Christyn”, meaning one who holds Christ in his/her heart.

On March 30, 2012, we officially adopted Cooper and Conner  in the state of Texas (in addition to their adoption in Ukraine). The boys will now have Texas birth certificates.  Yeehaw!

Whew, can we call it quits now?  I’m exhausted!

Sons are a heritage from the LORD,
children a reward from him.
