Introducing...

Our Son...

Myles Patrick Hillary 
October 12, 2013
12:38 AM
6 lbs. 15 oz.
19 inches

"Merciful and Gracious"

We went back and forth and back again when trying to decide on a boy's name.  We settled on two other names before Myles, and then Phil found this while looking on a website for "German baby names."  We both have German heritage, but it was the meaning of the name that struck us more than the origin.  Myles means merciful and gracious, and that just resonated with both of us immediately.  Patrick is the middle name of Phil's brother, Brian, who is Myles' Godfather.  It is also the male derivative of Patricia, which is the name of Corrie's mom.
We are already in love with our little Myles Patrick!
